Page Speed

How quickly your web pages load, which affects both user experience and your search rankings.

Page speed is simply how fast your web pages load for visitors. It matters because people are impatient: a page that takes more than a few seconds to load loses a large share of visitors before they even see your content. Speed also feeds directly into how Google ranks pages.

Common ways to speed up a site include compressing and properly sizing images, reducing unnecessary scripts, using quality hosting, and enabling caching. Tools like Google PageSpeed Insights give you a score along with specific, prioritised suggestions for what to fix first.
