Hi everyone,

I’ve built my website Search Engine Realm on Wix Studio and I’m running into challenges with getting it to rank well on Google and improving overall performance.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

  • Customized meta titles, descriptions, and alt tags for all pages.

  • Used Wix SEO tools to set up keywords and site structure.

  • Submitted my sitemap through Google Search Console.

  • Optimized images for faster load times.

  • Integrated Google Analytics for tracking.

Issues I’m facing:

  1. Many of my pages are indexed but not ranking for targeted keywords.

  2. My site speed on mobile is lower than expected despite optimizations.

  3. Some pages take longer to load in certain browsers.

  4. I’m unsure how to fully leverage Wix Studio’s advanced SEO features for better visibility.

My questions:

  • What are the most effective SEO strategies specifically for Wix Studio sites in 2025?

  • Are there additional performance optimization settings in Wix Studio I might be missing?

  • Should I focus more on content updates, technical SEO, or backlinks at this stage?

  • How can I improve mobile Core Web Vitals using Wix Studio?

Any step-by-step advice, settings recommendations, or resources would be a huge help.

Thanks in advance!

Hello @Search_Engine_Realm , I analyzed your site using Google Page Insights Report, and your main issue exists in the LCP of the site, as it is going high. Below are the strategies you should adopt to fix this in mobile view -

  • Cache Lifetimes-A long cache lifetime can speed up repeat visits to your page. You can use HTTP Functions to control cache lifetimes for dynamic content. You can set the Cache-Control headers for API responses or dynamic pages. For example -
import {ok, notFound} from 'wix-http-functions';

export async function get_api_data(request) {

    const data = { message: "This is a dynamic response" };

// Set Cache-Control headers to cache the response for 1 hour

    return ok(data)

        .header("Cache-Control", "public, max-age=3600, s-maxage=3600"); // 1 hour cache

}

Velo (formerly Wix Code) provides a caching API for your web applications. This is useful if you’re performing operations that need caching, such as storing frequently accessed data. For example -

import wixData from 'wix-data';

import {local} from 'wix-storage';

async function getData() {

    let cachedData = local.getItem("cachedData");

  if (cachedData) {

        return JSON.parse(cachedData);

    } else {

        const results = await wixData.query("myCollection").find();

        local.setItem("cachedData", JSON.stringify(results));

        return results;

    }

}

  • Next Gen Image Format - Your site contains many images that are not in next-gen image formats like WebP or AVIF. You should convert those images into WebP for smooth and faster loading on your site.

  • Image Compression - You have to compress the image as well to enhance the loading time. Compress at a good level, like do not compress too much, otherwise the quality would be compromised. But keep the images compressed to add additional optimization to your site.

Alternatively, I recommend trying Image Optimizer Pro- a Wix app that automatically compresses all media( Images and videos) with a single click for instant performance boosts. It compresses images up to 80% & converts to WebP for lightning-fast loading without losing quality. Helps in achieving better user experience and SEO rankings. It comes with a free plan as well for users. If you want to optimize the other elements rather than image optimization, I recommend trying Website Speedy, which handles the js minification, deferring, and other techniques.
