The Problem with Google PageSpeed Insights

Listen Later

Websites should be fast. No one is arguing about that. What constitutes fast has somehow been perverted by an anxiety-inducing score assigned by the cruel mistress known as Google PageSpeed Insights. In this episode, we throw Google PageSpeed in the bonfire.

You'll learn:

  • Why Google PageSpeed Insights is an awful boogeyman that needs to be stopped
  • A sane approach to making your website faster
  • When to upgrade Shopify plans
  • and strategies to setup your main menus correctly (again)

    • The boys get extra salty in this one.

    Tune in for more details!
