Optimization Best Practices
Performance

- Image optimization: WebP, lazy loading, compression (e.g. TinyPNG, ImageOptim)
Conversion
- Single primary CTA: "Download Free Now," "Get on App Store," "Get for Windows"
- Above the fold: CTA visible without scrolling
- Repeat CTA: On longer pages, repeat at logical points
- A/B test: CTA color, size, copy, placement
Trust & Social Proof
- Star ratings: Show App Store / Play Store ratings
- Download count: "10M+ downloads," "Trusted by X users"
- Testimonials: User quotes, media logos
- Security: Security badges if collecting sensitive info
