FAQs
Why is my website speed slow?
A slow website often results from unoptimised images, large JavaScript or CSS files, excessive HTTP requests, or reliance on third-party scripts. Poor server performance and the lack of caching can also increase page load time. Regular performance audits help identify the bottlenecks.
What tools can I use to test website performance?
Tools such as Google PageSpeed Insights, Lighthouse, GTmetrix, and WebPageTest provide detailed reports on web speed. These tools highlight issues like render-blocking scripts, image sizes, and server response times, along with recommendations to improve them.
Can accessibility and performance be optimised together?
Yes. In fact, accessibility and website speed go hand in hand. Reducing load times makes content available more quickly for users who rely on screen readers, keyboard navigation, or other assistive technologies. By focusing on both, you create a faster, more inclusive experience for everyone.
