One template bug, thousands of articles.

Insight shows what in the template slows pages down and shifts the text.

Templates

Fix the template, not the article.

Check one URL for each template. A problem found in the article template appears on every page that uses it.

TemplatePages on the siteTypical issue
Article 12,400 PerformanceAds and embeds without reserved space

Example site. Page counts show the reach of one fix.

Article weight

Editorial content is the smaller part of what readers download.

Performance shows third-party scripts and their weight, and Ecology turns the transfer into a CO₂e estimate. With that report, the talk with the ad team is about numbers.

Insight will not switch off ads or change your ad network contract. It shows how much they weigh and how they affect load time.
