A Practical Checklist for Faster Framer Sites

Improve perceived and measured performance by reviewing image formats and sizing, simplifying motion, reducing unnecessary component complexity, and creating a cleaner page structure that loads quickly across devices.

Performance work is most effective when it starts with the largest costs. Oversized images, unnecessary video, and complex effects usually matter more than tiny code optimizations.


Fix the heavy work first


Size images for their real display dimensions, reuse components, and keep motion purposeful. A smooth transition can add polish, but several competing animations often make a page feel slower than it is.


Test the published page on a real phone and a typical connection. The editor can hide problems that become obvious when assets load over the network and the page has to respond to touch.
