Add an Open Graph image so links to this page render as a rich card on social platforms. Use 1200x630 px, JPEG/PNG, under 1MB.

<head>
  <meta property="og:image" content="https://yoursite.com/og-image.jpg">
  <meta property="og:image:width" content="1200">

Open Lighthouse in Chrome DevTools or PageSpeed Insights — the report lists specific opportunities ranked by impact.

Every <img> needs an alt attribute. Alt text helps screen readers, image search ranking, and shows when the image fails to load. Use alt="" only for purely decorative images.

<img src="photo.jpg">

<img src="photo.jpg" alt="Descriptive text describing the image content">

Title is outside the 30-60 character sweet spot. Google truncates titles longer than ~60 chars in search results, hiding your keywords. Keep the primary keyword near the start.

<title>{{actual}}</title>

<title>Shortened title — primary keyword first (≤60 chars)</title>

Meta description is outside the 120-160 character range. Too short = thin content; too long = truncated by Google.

<meta name="description" content="{{actual}}">

<meta name="description" content="Rewritten description, 120-160 chars, with the primary keyword and a value proposition.">

Largest Contentful Paint should load within 2.5s. Optimise the largest above-the-fold element: compress hero images, preload critical assets, and eliminate render-blocking resources.

<img src="hero.jpg">

<link rel="preload" as="image" href="hero.webp">
<img src="hero.webp" fetchpriority="high" width="1200" height="600" alt="...">

Cumulative Layout Shift should be under 0.1. Set explicit width/height on images, reserve space for embeds and ads, and avoid late-loading fonts that re-flow text.

<img src="photo.jpg">

<img src="photo.jpg" width="800" height="600" alt="...">

First Contentful Paint should be under 1.8s. Inline critical CSS, defer non-critical CSS/JS, and use a CDN.

Enable gzip or Brotli compression on your server. Typically cuts text payload by 70-80% — easy LCP win.
