11You can have high-resolution photos that load
quickly you just have to size them right. By
saving them for web or compressing them you can
have beautiful images without having a negative
impact on your user. Another way to increase your
sites load speed is having a dedicated server.

WIX than you do not have a Virtual Private Server
or a Dedicated Server. The default may be to go
with the cheapest option but it can cause issues
and you could lose clients because of it.

ensure private, fast and safe hosting that will
result in long-term benefits including SEO.

friendly because this ensures the ease of Google
to crawl your site all at once and not several
versions. From a SEO standpoint, Google strongly
recommends responsive design.

with Google when it comes to SEO.
