What these articles cover
Posts explain how to find what is slowing a page down, which fixes are quick wins and which need development time, and how to keep speed from slipping again after the next redesign or plugin install.
Benefits and pitfalls
Faster pages reduce frustration and help visitors reach the point of your page sooner. Common pitfalls are uncompressed images, too many third-party tags and hosting that does not match the traffic a site receives at its busiest.
Where speed is usually lost
Images, fonts, tracking scripts and large page-builder layouts are the usual suspects. Test one change at a time on a copy of your pages so you can see which fix helped and which added nothing, and keep a short log of results.
