    Wow! As a non-techie person, I'm impressed with Jack explanations of those alien-like elements (to me) in PageSpeed Insights. I love how Jack speaks-clear and concise! My site uses the Astra theme, hosted by InMotion, without Google Maps or videos, only WebP images, installed the W3 Cache plugin and recently Airlift, but my mobile speed still remains at 60. I don't know what else I can do! 😄 Oh, you have a new non-techie subscriber!

    I greatly appreciate your tutorials and all the valuable information Rank Math as a company is willing to share for free. Your company's blog is pure gold. I'm very happy to support you by being a paid user because it ends up benefitting everyone. I never would have thought of creating a blank page to isolate backend issues that are slowing down a site. It's such a simple solution, I kinda feel dumb for not having come up with it by myself, so thank you for making me about .000001% smarter with that one tip.

    Hello and thank you for your videos: you explain very clearly and I am taking valuable notes. I wanted to ask you: I'm building a site with Wordpress (to which I will then also add WooCommerce). Before putting the site online, I would like to finish it and optimize everything, which is why I am currently keeping the site in "Under Construction" mode. So I can't use the speed analysis tool before the site is online? I mean: the data is staggered because the "Work in progress" page appears. How can I still analyze the speed, before putting the site online? Thanks so much again.

  • @RankMath

    @RankMath

    8 ай бұрын

    Hello, thank you for your comment. You're right that analyzing the speed of a website that is in "Under Construction" mode will not be accurate. The data will be skewed because the "Work in Progress" page is likely to be much simpler and smaller than the rest of your website. I recommend using a staging environment or a local development environment to analyze the speed of your website before putting it online. Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Hey, this is a great video. I will share this with our developers to work on slow-loading client websites. I have a question about the Rank Math Plugin. Does activating the Video schema feature on video pages using Rank Math increase the page load time?

  • @RankMath

    @RankMath

    11 күн бұрын

    Hello, Thank you for your comment. Activating the Video schema feature on video pages using Rank Math does not increase the page load time. Rank Math automatically detects your video when you insert a link to or embed Vimeo or KZread videos in your content. It then grabs the necessary data and adds the suitable Video Schema to that page. This process is done seamlessly without impacting the page load time. If you encounter any issues with Rank Math, you can always raise your question here rankmath.com/support/ and our support team would be happy to assist you.

    Hello, thank you for your comment. To test if a theme is light can you compare the before and after pagespeed insights results on a test/staging site. We also have a list of compatible themes on our website: rankmath.com/compatible/themes/ But if your preferred theme is not on the list, that does not mean you cannot use Rank Math, you can refer to this article on how to make Rank Math compatible with your theme: rankmath.com/kb/make-theme-rank-math-compatible/ Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to open a support ticket here: rankmath.com/support/ if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Great tutorial, thank you! However, I want to add my 5 cents, because I know people are struggling with this, and some of the statements in the video are not correct IMO (image sizes). My experience is that 800px wide images are not even close enough to display full-width images on desktop screens. They will most probably look blurry. The 'CSS pixel size' on a laptop is 1300-1400 pixels wide, but due to high resolution (retina) screens, the actual pixel size is much larger. My MacBook Pro 13" pixel resolution is 2560 x 1600 pixels for example. Images should preferably be 2x the CSS pixel size. I usually make full-width images 2-2500 pixels, large images 13-1500px, and medium images 800-1000px wide. Thumbnails for card posts 5-600px. With higher pixel resolution, the compression rate can be stronger to reduce the file size. WebP images compresses in better quality than JPG, and I usually go for 5-20 compression rates. Compress manually in Photoshop to be able to preview the results for the most important images. Use automatic compression solutions for the rest of your images on the site. Also, page builders were not mentioned in this video, and they can have a huge negative impact on overall speed. Elementor with a lot of extra add-ons are a disaster for speed optimization and SEO. Many solutions also loads desktop images on mobiles, even if you set a smaller image on the mobile breakpoints. Furthermore, I'd like to recommend Bricks Builder, which is a new page builder and theme in one package. It's speed and clean, optimized code output is absolutely fantastic, and I always get 90-100 GTmetrix scores before any optimizations even have begun. It takes some learning of basic DOM structures and CSS, but it's well worth the effort, and is not very difficult. (I don't have any affiliation with Bricks - just a very happy user, and want more people to discover them.)
