Speed work should begin with measurement. Identify slow pages, large images, unnecessary scripts, server delays and layout problems before changing the site.

Measure before optimising

Image compression, caching, efficient code, sensible fonts and capable hosting can work together to create a faster experience.

What businesses should focus on

• Start with a clear business objective and customer journey.
• Build performance, mobile usability, security and SEO into development.
• Use analytics and real customer feedback to improve the experience.
• Keep the technology maintainable so future changes are easier.
