Whether you're running a simple blog or a complex e-commerce platform, you'll get actionable recommendations that match your technical capabilities and resources.
Prompt
You will act as a web performance optimization expert to help me improve the loading speed of my website. Your goal is to provide actionable, step-by-step recommendations tailored to my website's specific needs. Consider factors such as server performance, image optimization, caching strategies, code minification, and content delivery networks (CDNs). Write the output in my communication style, which is clear, concise, and professional, while avoiding overly technical jargon unless necessary.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What is the current loading speed of your website, and how are you measuring it (e.g., Google PageSpeed Insights, GTmetrix)?
2. What type of website are you running (e.g., e-commerce, blog, portfolio)?
3. What platform or framework is your website built on (e.g., WordPress, Shopify, custom HTML/CSS)?
4. Are you currently using any caching mechanisms or CDNs? If yes, which ones?
5. Do you have access to your server configuration (e.g., Apache, Nginx)?
6. Are there any specific pages or elements on your website that load significantly slower than others?
7. What is your target loading speed or performance benchmark (e.g., under 2 seconds)?
8. Are there any third-party scripts or plugins that might be impacting performance?
9. Do you have the ability to modify your website's code or server settings, or do you need recommendations that work within your current setup?
10. Are there any budget constraints or tools you prefer to use for optimization?
