Monumetric has default optimizations in place to ensure the load of our code on your site’s speed is minimalized. However, further optimizations can be made upon request.

1. Asynchronous Loading: With synchronous loading, the browser will load each resource one by one based on the head code and won’t move on to the next resource until the previous one is ready. In contrast, asynchronous loading allows for the browser to start loading a resource but then move on to loading the next resource while the first one is still loading. This allows for faster load times because the browser is requesting multiple resources at once instead of one at a time. Note that asynchronous loading CAN decrease earnings because advertising providers don’t find it as profitable.
2. Defer Head Code: Deferring our delivery script will allow the page to load first, and then ads will be called. This can help with site speed but will negatively affect your earnings, so only request this adjustment if that is a worthwhile compromise.

There are also many aspects of site speed that you can remedy yourself:

1. Leverage browser caching: These caching plugins help with site speed and are easy to install and run. If you choose to install one of these plugins reach out to the Success Team so that we can exclude our delivery script and optimize our code.

a. WP Rocket (paid plugin)                           
b. Asset CleanUp
c. LiteSpeed Cache (free plugin)       

2. Optimize images on your site: Image files greatly affect page loading speeds if not implemented onto a site properly. Only upload images to your site in web-friendly file sizes. This means compressing the file sizes of your images.

3. Remove unused JavaScript: There are a few lines of code associated with ads, but actually, this is because we are waiting for your content to load first, and then loading ad code. This can result in the code first scanning as “unused.” After there is interaction with the page, the ad code JavaScript is used in the monetization of your site. A web developer can help you determine what additional code is the un-used script.

4. Review the ‘Diagnostics’ section on the PageSpeed Insights: This section includes grey bullets listing recommended action items. These are suggestions you can make to improve the Core Web Vitals on your site. We strongly recommend spending time here whenever looking for ways to improve site speed.
