Last updated, June 2023

To attract and retain consumers, you need 2 things: awesome TikToks and a customer journey free of interruptions – like a slowly loading landing page.

In an effort to help you optimize your landing page load speed, we put together some key tips. Follow them to ensure that your customers' patience is never tested and that they stick around.

Improve Your Page Load

  • ​Design and develop your landing page specifically for mobile devices.

  • ​Minimize landing page redirects.

  • ​For multi-region hosting, deploy page servers in all regions.

  • ​Use a high-quality Content Distribution Network to store resources on the landing page.

  • ​Delay the loading of non-essential media.

  • ​Load third-party scripts asynchronously to avoid render-blocking.

Optimize On-Page Static Resources

  • ​Remove all non-essential JavaScript and CSS files.

  • ​Compress your images (Note: JPEG 2000, JPEG XR, and WebP formats require less data than PNG or JPEG when transferring).

  • ​Specify the image width and height in the code to avoid shaking and flashing during page load.

  • ​Choose video over GIF for dynamic content (Note: Video requires less data than GIF when transferring).
