A conversation about how to speed up your website.
Today we are chatting with photographer, plant-enthusiast, and Davey & Krista team member, Alex Lucas. Alex is one of our designers and he’s joining me today for a conversation about how to speed up a website.
We chat about why page load speed matters—hint: a fast website can help improve conversion rates—how you can test your website, what you should look for when running a test, and then 5 ways you can increase your website speed.
A quick warning: We chat about a lot in this episode. For quick reference, I’ve written a corresponding blog post that you can find in the show notes that summarizes what we’ve discussed.
Note: Most of the conversation in this episode focuses on WordPress website optimization, where a user is in control of hosting. Companies such as Showit, Squarespace, and Wix already handle optimization. However, this episode has many useful tips for anyone looking to speed up their website.
More about Alex:
Alex is an entrepreneur, photographer at AL Weddings, and designer for Davey & Krista—but outside of work, his life is consumed by plants. He may have missed his calling as a botanist but he’s doing his very best to turn his home into a jungle. He loves solving problems whether it’s helping brands find more clients or fixing the kitchen sink, and at least once a day he slips up and calls Davey & Krista, “Dava & Kristy.”
Davey is the co-founder of Davey & Krista, a creative studio known for high-converting Showit website templates crafted for photographers, creatives, and entrepreneurs. He helps businesses craft an answer to that question and then develops a strategy for communicating it. After years of running agencies that have managed millions in ad spend, he’s seen firsthand the power of effectively answering that question.
