The Problem with Google PageSpeed Insights

Episode Summary

Low PageSpeed score got ya freakin? We'll tell why you probably shouldn't care.

Episode Notes

Websites should be fast. No one is arguing about that. What constitutes fast has somehow been perverted by an anxiety-inducing score assigned by the cruel mistress known as Google PageSpeed Insights. In this episode, we throw Google PageSpeed in the bonfire.

You'll learn:

Why Google PageSpeed Insights is an awful boogeyman that needs to be stopped
A sane approach to making your website faster
When to upgrade Shopify plans
and strategies to setup your main menus correctly (again)

The boys get extra salty in this one.
