Here are the top seven ways to experience the full potential of growing your business through your website.
#1. Improve Accessibility

#2. Increase Speed By Addressing CSS Performance
Style sheets that are structured may have elements that cause slow rendering of your page.
Be sure to look for elements and other factors that cause the slow rendering:
- Long, complex rules, especially ones containing.
- Lots of transitions and animations.
- Using @import to load other CSS files.
- No longer about parsing HTML but CSS crawling.
- Access to selectors is needed.
By addressing these issues, you can increase speed.

#3. Enhance Image Speed
Images are beneficial for a site giving a rich page experience for your clients. However, it can be damaging if not done correctly.
Some questions to ask yourself:
- How are you cataloging and understanding images today?
- Who contributes to the imagery on your site?
- What data do they have access to?
By digging deeper, you will see how each person with access to images can contribute to site optimization.
Google Lens & Discover can also be powerful tools to optimize your site.

#4. Enforce Site Security
One of the sneaky tricks attackers use is Clickjacking — where the attacker’s malicious link is transparent and hiding in front of an authentic webpage. Hence, the user clicks the malicious link believing they clicked the authentic page.
Be sure to enable an audit on the tool running all the time because prevention is always key.

This collaboration can save significant time and money and lead to higher website optimization.
#6. Integrate Marketing & Tech SEO
Tech SEO is a key component that can amplify the impact of marketing efforts. However, many companies neglect this important connection and view website health and marketing as separate entities.
This approach is misguided, as the two are inextricably linked and can significantly impact a business’s success.
