Importance of Performance from the Start
Optimization should not be an afterthought but an integral part of the website building process. The mindset must be to prioritize performance at the outset, considering factors like hosting and plugin choices before even launching a site. Making conscious decisions about performance throughout the build ensures a smoother operation, particularly as traffic increases. This proactive approach can prevent significant issues later, such as slow load times, which can negatively impact user experience.
