Page speed

Performance

How quickly a webpage loads and becomes interactive, measured through metrics like Time to First Byte, First Contentful Paint, and Largest Contentful Paint. Speed affects user experience, conversion rates, and search rankings. Visitors expect pages to load in under three seconds on mobile; longer waits increase bounce rates dramatically. Fernside achieves fast page speed through static generation, edge hosting, optimised images, and minimal JavaScript.
