Speed matters: Google found that **53% of mobile visits are abandoned if a page takes longer than three seconds to load** ([The need for mobile speed](https://blog.google/products/admanager/the-need-for-mobile-speed/), 2016). Fast pages also rank better.

## What NijeesWeb does for you

- Pages are built on the server and **served from a cache**, rebuilt the moment you change something.
- **Images become WebP** when you upload them, and load **lazily** as visitors scroll.
- Only the **font families your site uses** are loaded.
- Scripts that are not needed — animation libraries, icon fonts — are left out of pages that don't use them.
- Your site is **hosted in Mumbai**, close to visitors across India, over HTTPS.

## Measure your site

Use Google's free [PageSpeed Insights](https://pagespeed.web.dev): enter your address and look at the **Mobile** score and its **Core Web Vitals**. Test your home page and your heaviest pages (galleries, video).

## The habits that matter most

1. **Resize photos before uploading.** The largest cause of slow pages. 1920 px wide for full-width pictures, 1000 px for column images. See [Media library](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/content/media-library).
2. **Keep the first screen light.** The picture at the top of a page should be one well-compressed image — not a slider of five, and not a video on phones.
3. **Prefer YouTube for long videos** over uploaded files.
4. **Use one or two fonts.** Each extra family adds a download.
5. **Animate a few things, not everything.**
6. **Be careful with third-party code** — chat widgets, pixels and embeds each add weight. Remove the ones you no longer use.

> [!TIP]
> A big score drop after a change? It is almost always a new large image or a new embedded widget. Check the last thing you added.
