Walk the talk. I spent almost an hour getting my newsletter sign up page to a perfect 100 Lighthouse score on mobile. No functionality sacrificed. Yes, it will sometimes return 99. Yes, the page is just the form. However, it was hovering over high 80s/low 90s for too long. I got the job done.

Why you've been struggling to get a perfect Google Lighthouse score Let's continue with breaking down the PageSpeed Insights. This time - how exactly is the Lighthouse performance score calculated? I bet at least some of you have lost sleep over it. It might have felt like playing a slot machine.

Why PageSpeed Insights (PSI) doesn't serve you well But, first - let's address what PageSpeed Insights is. It's a free web performance analysis tool by Google. The goal? Provide a report on how a webpage performs in terms of speed and user experience.

Poor user experience - according to PageSpeed Insights

Last week I introduced my new content model for the foreseeable future - Seasons. I expect it to be my primary content focus for the next year. Let’s address the actual content plan for Season 1, which is focused on ‘page performance’. The topics I plan to cover in this Season: 👇

How to get your next 100 followers. A thread. 👇

Getting content ready for Season 1 is a challenge. 😅 But my bet is that it gets easier over time, hence, I am also sacrificing a less popular topic for the introductory season. It's coming, though! 💪

When was the last time you cared about how fast your site loads? Everything goes in cycles, and I feel like page speed left the public consciousness behind somewhere around 2022.

My wife was more anxious about me getting roasted by Levels publicly than I was.

Today I'm introducing my new content model - Seasons. A short period of time (usually spanning couple weeks), where content will be almost exclusively dedicated to a single topic. A thread on what Seasons are below ⬇️

SEO is only as good as your understanding of your potential customer.

Interesting. I bet this will change over time, but I'll take it for now. Great marketing strategy to provide a free ego boost to your users, though. 😅

This has been a huge frustration with X. There are notable implications, when you can't guarantee reach to your followers: - the sense of connection or community is partially diminished (you just don't hear from each other often enough)

RemoteOK is being penalized by Google for bad user experience. During one of my livestreams, discussing my @levels.io block on X, I discovered that it is failing Core Web Vitals Assessment on mobile. This means RemoteOK likely has lower rankings on Google mobile search due to poor user experience.

One of my bucket list items for the next 3-4 months is launching an SEO course in Roblox. The point is to do something different. A gamified experience to learn. Something, that you can do together with others. Something, that is accessible to a younger audience. Perhaps, you play with your kids.

Are you guys aware how the 'BlueSky logo emoji' looks like on Windows? It's disturbing me.

Nesters Kovalkovs @nesters.me · 22/11/2024

It was either this poll with 30 votes or someone at X started using BlueSky and realized that having less numbers on the screen feels better. You can now hide user engagement numbers from your timeline on X. My bet is on the poll, though.

Lately I've been reading 'The Art of War' by Sun Tzu for my 6-year-old daughter at night. 1) I read a paragraph 2) I explain how it could be interpreted 3) She comes up with examples of how it could be implemented in real life. Built different.

I guess my honeymoon phase has come to an end. "Domain verified", yet the handle update went off the script at some point.

I made a poll on the other platform, and it seems people feel discouraged by seeing their impression numbers. Good news - I don't need to worry about it here at all.

Nesters Kovalkovs @nesters.me · 15/11/2024

Hopefully, I won't regret this.
