Aw, thanks for the feedback and I'm so glad you enjoy my content! LOL my YT hiatus is coming to an end soon, any topics you'd like me to cover in future videos?

@@CharlotteOHara1 yes, you may already have the videos, I'm not familiar with your content, but I need help in understanding how to structure my homepage in its design, what content needs to be there for SEO optimization, and just a walk through of setting up a professional landing (home) page with SEO in mind. I'm slowly learning and I'm starting to get it much more now that it's been 6 months or so into SEO. But another thing I would like to see you cover is HOW to Choose meta titles appropriately for the page, service, blog post, or product for optimal CTR and not be too wordy. Just what aspects do I focus on when crafting an SEO title, description, URL slug and the page title is a little bit easier to deal with, but basically just a complete tutorial from brand new site, to fully optimized e-commerce site with blog and digital product features. The thought processes behind what you're doing and exactly how to do them to have optimal SEO in every aspect and in every area of my page, pages and entire site. I really like the way that you break things down you make them very simple and friendly an approachable and that makes it easy to digest and Trust what you're saying plus you show expertise in the area. So if you could do a series on a brand new page blank page add populating it from beginning to end as an e-commerce slash blog slash digital product site with SEO optimization in mind in every square inch that would be excellent and I would definitely reference you give you back links and watch your content. Thank you for what you do

Becca at @insidethesquare has advised that site loading time is no longer a factor for SEO. Obviously in terms of user experience then it is better that pages load as quickly as possible, but just wanted to comment in terms of effect on SEO as I know you mentioned in your video.

Thanks for the comment Louisa! Personally I would err on the side of caution with page/site load speed and SEO because Google's documentation says it's still a factor in evaluating speed index (however yes it is less emphasized than it was in the past), you can see more on that here :) developer.chrome.com/docs/lighthouse/performance/speed-index

So I used the website you suggested, and my files are still twice as large as they are supposed to be. I just took the photos with my iPhone. Im so confused as to why the files are so giant 😩

[@CharlotteOHara1]

You can reduce the image size on your iPhone through the settings, that could help :)
