"Can you just speed up our website?"
That's how my recent audit started.
What I found: A site held together with duct tape.
Ahrefs health score: 12%
āŒ š—§š—µš—² š—£š—暝—¼š—Æš—¹š—²š—ŗš˜€:
#šŸ­ HTML Chaos Dozens of H1s per page. Everything was tagged wrong.
#šŸ® Style Bloat 50+ duplicate classes. "H2", "H2 New", "H2 New Copy"...
#šŸÆ No Components The client couldn't duplicate pages. IX2 broke. Zapier failed.
#šŸ° Image Nightmare Unoptimized PNGs. No alt text. The same images are uploaded repeatedly.
āœ… š—§š—µš—² š—™š—¶š˜…: ā†’ Proper HTML structure ā†’ Design system ā†’ Component library ā†’ Image optimization
āœ… š—„š—²š˜€š˜‚š—¹š˜Ā (š—®š—»š—± š˜„š—²'š—暝—² š˜€š˜š—¶š—¹š—¹ š—“š—¼š—¶š—»š—“): 12% ā†’ 70% health score Pages duplicate in minutes Load time cut in half
Fix the foundation. Everything else follows.

Obviously, such actions lead to a significant slowdown in page loading.
