My last client had a 7,000-article blog that used to take 8 seconds to load. For an enterprise company, that's not just a slow page - it's 8 seconds of lost credibility for every decision-maker who visits.

The technical problem is rarely the blog itself, but the sum of every small decision that happened before: large images, unoptimized video embeds, too many tracking scripts.

Replacing it meant rebuilding the entire site in Framer, implementing proper image compression, and moving to a progressive loading strategy for the heavy media assets. Load time dropped to under 1 second.

What are the common technical patterns you see that immediately signal a site has outgrown its current setup?
