Manage the Performance Level of Your Website
You can fine-tune some performance settings of your website to help the site load faster, or for analytics scripts to load more quickly.
Manage Website Performance
To manage your website's performance settings:
- Select the Settings tab at the top of your Websites app.
- Select Performance on the left-hand sidebar.
Under the Manager Performance section, you can click the toggle switch to enable or disable the following settings:
Prevent "flash of unstyled text" | When a visitor's browser downloads a new web font (like from Adobe Fonts), the text on your site may appear briefly in a basic, unstyled font before switching to the correct one. This can cause an odd visual "flash." Turning this setting on prevents this by hiding all text until the web font has downloaded or after a 3-second timeout. |
Analytics scripts in the document head | Many analytics services, such as Google Analytics, recommend placing their tracking scripts in the <head> of your website's HTML. This helps ensure that all visitors are counted, even if they don't fully load the page. However, placing scripts here can sometimes slow down the page load. The preferred placement for performance is at the end of the document. Use this setting to choose which option is right for you. |
