I will optimize your squarespace website speed and improve your core web vitals


About this gig
Squarespace is known for beautiful design not for speed. Its JavaScript-heavy framework is notoriously difficult to optimize, and many Squarespace sites score below 50 on Google PageSpeed. That affects rankings and conversions.
I specialize in Squarespace-specific speed optimization working within the platform's constraints to extract every possible performance gain.
What I optimize
- Image audit and compression
- Lazy loading for images and embedded content
- Third-party script loading audit (fonts, chat, analytics, social embeds)
- Font loading optimization using font-display swap
- Code injection cleanup removing unused and duplicate scripts
- Squarespace-specific CDN and caching review
- Core Web Vitals audit
Deliverables
- Before and after GTmetrix and PageSpeed scores
- Full report of every optimization made
- Honest assessment of what Squarespace can and cannot achieve
- Recommendations for maintaining performance after delivery
Squarespace has a performance ceiling, and I will be upfront about it. But most sites I work on gain 15-30 points on PageSpeed. That improvement is real and Google will notice it.

FAQ
Can Squarespace reach 90+ on PageSpeed?
Realistically, very few Squarespace sites reach 90+ due to the platform's framework. Most well-optimized sites land between 60–80. I set honest expectations and deliver real measurable improvement within those constraints
Will optimization affect my design?
No — I focus on technical and invisible performance changes. Your visual design and layout are completely untouched.
Does speed optimization help my SEO?
Yes directly. Google uses Core Web Vitals as a ranking factor. Faster load times also reduce bounce rate, which is a secondary positive signal.
Does removing video backgrounds affect my design?
Video backgrounds are a significant performance cost. I offer alternatives — high-quality poster images with subtle animation — that look great while loading much faster. The choice is always yours.
