Faster sites rank and convert better. Fix the big wins first.

Priorities

  • Reduce LCP: Serve smaller hero images and lean on good hosting/CDN.
  • Control CLS: Set width/height on media and avoid layout-shifting ads.
  • Improve INP: Fewer scripts; avoid heavy page builders.

Quick wins checklist

  • Compress and WebP all images
  • Lazy-load below-the-fold media
  • Limit fonts; use system stack or one web font
  • Defer non-critical JavaScript
  • Remove unused plugins

Measuring

  • PageSpeed Insights
  • Lighthouse in Chrome
  • WebPageTest for deep dives

CTA: Pair with our Security & Speed Defaults.
