ClaireThi Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) Site URL: https://integrativeacupuncture.co.nz/ Hi there, Still a newbie to SQSP and just finished a site for a client. I've ran it through the Hubspot webgrader tool and got a terrible Performance score mostly affected by page speed (10.9), Page request (53) and failed minified CSS. Any chance someone knows how I could address these issues? Thanks a lot! Claire PS. If anyone feels like recommending an SEO service provider that would be great.

ClaireThi Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 Could anyone recommend a Squarespace SEO expert or Web developer to help me address the page speed issues + CSS + page request? Thanks! Link to comment
Solution studiofounded Posted September 30, 2022 Solution Share Posted September 30, 2022 Hi! Not all web speed test tools give accurate results for Squarespace. I can't speak for the Hubspot tool as I haven't used it, but GTMetrix usually works well for Squarespace. Taking a quick look, your site ranks an A overall and has good performance. The heaviest part is your JS, so perhaps trim that down if possible, and a few images could also be made a little smaller. You have a few broken links, and I recommend running them through a broken link checker so you can find out where they are and adjust them. What kind of page requests do you see? Some initial steps you can take are to double-check your SSL certificate is installed correctly, and follow these steps to set up 301 redirects to send visitors to correct pages. I recommend making these changes, then retest your site and evaluate if more changes are needed 🙂 Let me know how that goes! — Hannah Sisu Templates ClaireThi and jblpropel 1 1 A brand designer & strategist creating brands that bridge the gaps between artistry, strategy, and thoughtful consideration.
