If you are a small business owner or freelancer, create a Google Business profile.
It's free and you will get tons of search traffic from people in your area.
Maps take up 30% of the first-page real estate. A properly tuned business profile can lead to tons of traffic.

Getting fast, and staying there. Why site speed should be treated as a feature, not a project.

I keep seeing amazing developers and companies,
who do really interesting and impressive work.
⁉ with a website that takes forever to load ⁉
The first experience users have visiting your website,
is loading it.
Their first impression is
"why is this taking so long?"

Now this is really cool! Followed @AndyDavies latest blog post on WebPageTest and @Cloudflare Workers to test the perceived performance difference the `font-display` property has on GOV.UK. No redeploy to production needed! #webfonts #webperf #perfmatters

Two years ago the @HttpArchive switched its URL list to the @ChromeUXReport, which is based on real user activity. That list has grown quite a bit recently! I just published an analysis of the growth of the web based on this data: paulcalvano.com/2020-09-29-g…

Avoid using public CDNs (jsDelivr, cdnjs, etc.) for production. Stick to using them only for prototyping.
Advantages to Self-Host:
- Save time by not opening new connections
- HTTP/2 Multiplexing & Resource Prioritization
- Avoid external security risks/slowdowns
- Cache Control

Just noticed this little icon in the network tab in Firefox. On hover:
"Slow server response time (1.41 s). The recommended limit is 500 ms"
Has this been around a while, or is it new? #webperf

Did you know that if you’re using CSS to hide images based on the screen size that they’re still being downloaded by the visitor’s browser?
