Your website’s usability and functionality matter more today than ever before. Users are more web-savvy and demand better performance from the websites they visit. With this in mind, search engines give preference to websites that are technically sound. This includes a variety of technical elements including:
  • Site load speed
  • Image optimization
  • Text to HTML ratio
  • Word count
  • Duplicate content
