1. Optimize Images

• Resize before upload: Don’t upload giant images and expect the system to resize them. Keep them close to the display size.
  
  
• Use compressed formats: Save images as JPG or WebP for photos and PNG for graphics with transparency.
  
  
• Limit the number of images: Fewer images = fewer requests = faster load time. Use images only where they add real value (e.g., one strong hero image instead of several).

2. Limit Heavy Elements

• Reduce video backgrounds: Use short loops, smaller files for video backgrounds.
  
  
• Limit animations and widgets: Too many moving parts slow down rendering.
  
  
• Keep scripts minimal: Avoid stacking third-party tracking scripts unless absolutely needed.
  
  
• Avoid heavy elements above the fold: Ensure the first screen loads quickly by keeping it simple and lightweight.

3. Clean Up Your Pages

• Remove unused sections: Don’t leave hidden or duplicate blocks you aren’t using.
  
  
• Simplify layouts: Fewer rows, columns, and elements = faster rendering.
  
  
• Check for oversized files: Upload optimized PDFs or downloadable content.

4. Use System Features Wisely

• Global Sections: Reuse blocks for efficiency instead of duplicating large layouts.
  
  
• Forms & Surveys: Embed Chat To Clients CRM-native ones instead of third-party versions (they load faster).
  
  
• Custom Code: Keep injected CSS lightweight.
  
  
• Check system settings:
  
  
  • Ensure “Optimise Javascript” is enabled in funnel settings.
    
    
  • Ensure “Image optimisation” is enabled in funnel settings.
    
    
• Inspect network requests: Use the browser’s developer tools to check the Network tab and spot any large images slowing down page load.

5. Leverage Browser & Hosting Optimizations

• Enable caching: Returning visitors load faster with cached assets.
  
  
• Use a custom domain with SSL: Speeds up delivery and improves trust.
  
  
• Check hosting location: Chat To Clients CRM uses global CDN, but a clean custom domain setup avoids extra redirects.

6. Test and Monitor Performance

• Use free tools like:
  
  
  • PageSpeed Insights
    
    
  • GTMetrix
    
    
• Run tests on desktop and mobile (mobile is usually slower).
  
  
• Apply suggested fixes from the tools for best results.

7. Reduced initial HTML Size 

We optimized the data used to render pages by removing unnecessary fields from the page data response. This reduces the average final HTML document size by about 10%, which can improve initial load performance—especially on slower connections.

Note: This change is a performance optimization and does not require any action in most cases.
