What you should do to increase your site speed?

There are many factors that affect your website speed, like lazy loading.

So if you want your website to load fast you must use compressed images or images with .webp format.

If you are finding a blogger template that should be AdSense friendly then Starter should be at the beginning of your pick list.

This blogger template is designed by keeping AdSense in view because the main aim of most of the people who have websites, is to earn money.

The starter has many ad units in different sizes so that you can add AdSense ads in different sizes which helps in increasing your generated revenue.

It should be the better choice for you to add Lazy load AdSense ads functionality in your website or blog so that the AdSense ads do not impact your website speed while loading.

The loading time of a webpage increases as the ad loads and it needs to load its resources.
