-
Lazy Image Loading only loads the images the user can see. As the user scrolls, images are loaded just before they show up on the page. This simple optimization makes websites faster and saves bandwidth for your host and your customers.

Google PageSpeed API is used to measure the performance score of a site. It’s important to look at the Page Speed score because Core Web Vitals are going to be used as a ranking factor in search engines which means improving your SERP listing and increase your website visitors.
Don’t want to have to manually generate your critical CSS each time you update your site? Let us do the heavy lifting for you with automated critical CSS – each time you update your site we will automatically regenerate your critical CSS and update your performance scores. Upgrading also gives you dedicated email support access.
