1. Google's Mobile-First Indexing
Google ranks your website based on the mobile version. If your site is slow or hard to read on mobile, you are invisible.
2. The "Thumb Zone" Rule
Is your CTA reachable?
Most users use one hand. Buttons should be at the bottom.
3. Speed: 3G is Still a Thing

4. No More PDF Menus
