Content optimization for performance is part art, part science: it streamlines files for faster loading and employs tricks like lazy loading to save resources. It also requires a considered approach to curating content, particularly from a design perspective. With engaging multimedia and image-heavy pages that load in a flash, content optimization drives traffic, elevates user experience, and boosts sales.

Content matters

Quality content—words, images, graphics, videos, illustrations, and more—wins wallets. Without it, search engines have nothing to crawl. The better it performs, the higher you rank on results pages (SERPs), making it easier to find. If it’s informative, relevant, and easy to navigate, the more users stick around to buy products or services.

Fast, user-friendly content

Users make snap judgments about whether to stay on your website or leave—you have approx. 2 seconds to grab someone’s attention. While high-quality images sell products, you simply don’t have time for slow-loading visuals. Luckily, by compressing large files, you can accelerate load time without compromising on quality.

Videos engage users, but since file sizes are so large, they’re guilty of causing performance issues. Content optimization helps you choose the best formats and apply compression best practices to ensure you’re always delivering an efficient and compelling customer experience.
