Show Notes
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!
