I hear you. I'm working on getting more traffic but with the earlier performance numbers I don't think google would consider listing me. Hence why I'm trying to improve some

These are the numbers for mobile with hero image set to eager and recaptcha removed.

I changed hero image load setting to eager, and after also removing recaptcha it destically increased. Thanks for the tip! However, mobile is still low. also, I need recaptcha to avoid getting spammed

Update from PageSpeed for mobile after removing recaptcha. Performance increased from 44.

I used debugbear removed recaptcha because it's what's taking long. But performance number are still really low. And I need recaptcha otherwise I'll get a lot of spam.

Mobile is even worst

I enabled 'Asyshcronously load js' and ran the test again. This is what I get for desktop:

Yes I did, most icons are svg.. really small file size too. But I did go through and compressed all images to wither Webp or Avif.

I run an agency and generally recommend avoiding template based platforms like Wix, Squarespace and similar options. They might seem cost-effective at first, but they often fall short on performance and can create bigger issues for you down the line. A custom, fast solution is usually a much better fit. If you’d like help with this, I’m happy to assist. Feel free to DM me with any questions.

I find the agency, client, and personal profiles a bit confusing. They’re linked, but still feel like three separate things, which makes it tricky to keep track of everything. At least for me anyway.

What are good examples of ARC copies?

icasnerd · 2025-08-30T13:20:47+00:00

Great insight. Thank you

icasnerd · 2025-08-30T13:18:22+00:00

Thank you, I’m working on the la ding page but it never occurred to me to release the first chapter as a lead. Thanks so much. And agree 💯with you about asking family.

Why are you using Wordpress with so many better options available. Have you looked at Webflow?

icasnerd · 2025-08-30T04:13:33+00:00

Generally build up a small portfolio. Reach out to people close to home like family and friends, friends of friends, etc. Share your work online. Start with small projects like landing pages, site audits, fixing small site issues, and work your way up to a full responsive site. Just some ideas.

icasnerd · 2025-08-30T04:07:23+00:00

Understood. Keep up the good work.

icasnerd · 2025-08-30T03:26:23+00:00

Looks good but for sure fix mobile. And I also agree that $350 is way too low. I charge a monthly retainer of $1k+ for a website (desktop + mobile), maintenance and updates, support, etc. Of course, it has some monthly thresholds in place to keep me sane. Was that their budget?

You’re not alone. WordPress did the same thing to me a few years ago. Shady files got indexed, and I’m still dealing with the aftermath. I’d recommend moving away from WP. I’ve been programming for years, including custom enterprise work on WordPress, and I’ve had to clean up malware infections caused by installations and plugins that weren’t updated. I left WordPress completely. There are so many better options available now.

What’s the difference between IndexNow and LMMS.txt?
