When AMP is enabled, it displays extremely fast-loading versions of your blog posts in mobile search results. To switch AMP on in Squarespace, go to Settings > Blog Preferences and then tick the ‘Use AMP’ checkbox.

Consider displaying your blog posts in ‘ AMP ’ (Accelerated Mobile Pages) format.

Otherwise, Squarespace has to load sometimes large pieces of content from these services, even if a visitor to your site doesn’t play a video.

Always choose the ‘ use custom thumbnail ’ option when embedding YouTube or Vimeo videos on your site.

Use Squarespace’s SSL option - this means that your site will be delivered through the faster HTTP/2 protocol.

If you do use web fonts, try keeping to one if possible, and use a Google one rather than one from Typekit.

Avoid using a large number of web fonts on your site - or even consider using web safe fonts (which load much faster).Avoid over-use of any external scripts or custom code on your site.

In general, use JPGs for photographs and PNG files for screengrabs or diagrams (and when using PNG files, try to use an 8-bit ones, as they will be smaller than 24-bit ones).Use compression tools like Tiny Png to reduce the size of any images before you upload them to Squarespace.Squarespace recommends that images you upload should be between 1500 and 2,500 pixels in width - although depending on your Squarespace template and your images, you may be able to get away with lower widths.
