Getting started with a faster business website

Why speed comes before traffic
Most small business websites lose visitors before the page even finishes loading. Before spending on ads or SEO, it is worth fixing the basics that make a site feel fast and trustworthy.

- Compress and resize images before upload
- Use hosting with a server close to your customers
- Remove scripts and widgets you are not actively using
