Web Optimization Principles

A faster, cleaner site converts better on every channel at once. These are the rules we build sites by, including this one.

  1. Text is the fastest largest paint

    Put the headline on a solid background and let images load after. Core Web Vitals follow.

  2. Ship less JavaScript

    Every library is a tax on every visit. If a feature can be HTML and CSS, it is.

  3. Reserve space for everything

    Images, embeds and fonts get explicit dimensions, so nothing moves while the page loads.

  4. Load third parties on demand

    Chat, captcha and tag scripts wait for an interaction. They never block first paint.

  5. Audit templates, not pages

    Fix the pattern once and a thousand pages improve. Page-by-page fixes never finish.

  6. Measure in the field

    Lab scores are a guide. Real-user Core Web Vitals in Search Console are the truth.
