Technical SEO 101: Early Hints | On-Demand Webinar
Blog post from Harper
In a Harper SEO Series session, experts Martin Spiek and Brian Apley discussed the importance of website speed for SEO and conversions, focusing on the implementation of Early Hints (HTTP 103) to improve load times. Early Hints allow browsers to start fetching critical assets before the full HTML is received, enhancing page speed and user experience. The session demonstrated how Harper and Akamai collaborate to deliver Early Hints efficiently, showcasing a nearly one-second improvement in Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) on an already optimized site. The discussion emphasized the importance of selectively hinting at critical assets, maintaining HTML preload fallbacks, and measuring improvements with tools like Lighthouse and real user monitoring. The session included a demo and encouraged viewers to implement Early Hints for tangible performance gains.
