Page speed directly impacts conversion rates and search engine rankings. Studies show that a one-second delay in load time can reduce conversions by 7%. The HoopAI platform includes several built-in optimizations, and there are additional steps you can take to ensure your pages load as fast as possible.

​
Common speed issues

​
Built-in platform optimizations

The HoopAI platform includes several automatic optimizations:
  • CDN delivery — all pages and assets are served through a global content delivery network for fast loading worldwide
  • Automatic image optimization — uploaded images are compressed and served in optimized formats
  • Minified CSS and JavaScript — platform code is minified automatically
  • Browser caching — static assets are cached in the visitor’s browser for faster return visits
  • Lazy loading — when enabled, images and videos below the fold load only when the visitor scrolls to them

​
Image optimization

Images are typically the largest assets on a page. Optimize them before uploading:
1

Resize before uploading

Resize images to the maximum display size needed. A hero image rarely needs to be larger than 1920 x 1080 pixels.
2

Compress the file

Use tools like TinyPNG, Squoosh, or ImageOptim to compress images without visible quality loss. Aim for under 200 KB per image.
3

Use WebP format

WebP images are 25-35% smaller than JPEG or PNG at equivalent quality. Most modern browsers support WebP.
4

Add alt text

Alt text does not affect speed, but it improves accessibility and SEO — always include it.

​
Script management

1

Audit your tracking scripts

Review all scripts in the funnel’s Tracking Code settings. Remove any scripts you no longer use.
2

Enable Optimize JavaScript

In the funnel’s Settings tab, enable Optimize JavaScript. This lazy-loads custom HTML and JavaScript elements to improve initial page load.
3

Defer non-critical scripts

Add the defer or async attribute to scripts that do not need to load before the page content appears.
Enabling Optimize JavaScript may delay some scripts from firing until the user interacts with the page. Disable it if your scripts (such as chat widgets or analytics) must run immediately on page load.

​
Measuring page speed

Use Google Lighthouse to measure your page performance:
  1. Open your published page in Google Chrome.
  2. Press F12 to open Developer Tools.
  3. Click the Lighthouse tab.
  4. Select Performance and click Analyze page load.
  5. Review the performance score and recommendations.
Key metrics to monitor:

​
GDPR-compliant fonts

Enable GDPR Compliant Fonts in the funnel settings to self-host Google Fonts instead of loading them from Google’s servers. This eliminates a network request to Google and can improve both speed and privacy compliance.
Run a Lighthouse audit before and after making optimization changes to measure the actual impact. Focus on the largest bottlenecks first — usually images and third-party scripts.
