Audit your third-party scripts. Self-host fonts. Replace embedded YouTube with click-to-play thumbnails. Move chat widgets behind user intent.
Fewer third parties = faster pages, fewer trackers, better Core Web Vitals and fewer GDPR headaches.
Key takeaways
- Self-hosted fonts beat Google Fonts on speed and privacy.
- Lazy-load embeds with facade components.
- Audit quarterly; bloat creeps back.
