2025 Best Practices for Responsive SEO
- Ship modern image formats: use WebP/AVIF with width-based
srcsetandsizesfor hero images. - Stabilize layout: set fixed width/height (or
aspect-ratio) on images and iframes to prevent CLS. - Minimize JS for navigation: keep menus accessible and keyboard-friendly; avoid blocking scripts.
- Preload critical assets: fonts and hero images to improve LCP.
- Design for INP: reduce event-handler work; prefer CSS for animations and transitions.
Where TODD (BMS) ties in: if your site is used for lead capture, TODD sequences follow-ups and proposals so visitors who engage on mobile actually convert.
| Area | Mobile | Desktop | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hero image | Slow LCP | Oversized downloads | Use WebP/AVIF + srcset; preload LCP image |
| Images/iframes | Layout shift | Jumps on load | Set width/height or aspect-ratio |
| Navigation | Tap delay / jank | Heavy JS | Reduce handlers; prefer CSS; ensure focus states |
| Typography | Small text | Line length too long | Clamp sizes; 60–80 chars per line on desktop |
| Interactivity | INP regressions | Long tasks | Defer non-critical JS; split tasks under 50ms |
