The Problem with Google PageSpeed Insights

Websites should be fast. No one is arguing about that. What constitutes fast has somehow been perverted by an anxiety-inducing score assigned by the cruel mistress known as Google PageSpeed Insights. In this episode, we throw Google PageSpeed in the bonfire.

You'll learn:

• Why Google PageSpeed Insights is an awful boogeyman that needs to be stopped
• A sane approach to making your website faster
• When to upgrade Shopify plans
• and strategies to setup your main menus correctly (again)

The boys get extra salty in this one.
