About Page Speed


Page speed is a confirmed Google ranking factor. Faster sites provide better user experience, lower bounce rates, and higher conversion rates.

Core Web Vitals measure real user experience: LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) for loading, FID (First Input Delay) for interactivity, and CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) for visual stability.

Image optimization often provides the biggest speed gains. Use modern formats like WebP, implement lazy loading, and serve appropriately sized images.

Browser caching, code minification, and compression (GZIP/Brotli) reduce transfer sizes. CDNs can significantly improve loading times for geographically distributed users.
