When I say performance, I mean the speed of your website. Whether you’re building a new site or updating an older website, having a good experience for users both desktop and mobile is super important.
How to improve the speed of your website for better dental SEO
Danny: 00:19 Your dental website for mobile users and desktop users doesn’t need to be the same, but it does need to be fast and easy to use. Here are several ways that you can help make your website faster. First, minimize external libraries and plug-ins. These are things like fancy slideshows and old plug-ins that maybe you’re not using anymore. Optimize your images by saving them for web, or using a plug-in like Imageoptim to help keep quality and reduce file size.
