Building a Site That Loads Fast
Page speed is one of the biggest factors in conversion and SEO. Here's how Compos handles it natively.
A one-second delay in page load reduces conversions by about 7%. SEO ranking penalties for slow sites are real. So speed isn't optional.
What Compos does for you automatically
- Lazy-loads images below the fold
- Inlines critical CSS
- Defers non-essential JavaScript
- Compresses images on upload
- Uses modern image formats (WebP / AVIF) where the browser supports them
- Serves static assets with long cache headers
What you can do to help
- Crop images before upload — don't upload 4000px masters for 800px placements
- Limit fonts to the weights you actually use (e.g. 400 + 700, not all 9 weights)
- Pick a hosting plan that matches your traffic
