1)If you are selling products, sell from your own website. You maintain full control and are not subject to whims and fancies of the platform.
2)Languages with relatively few speakers like #finnish or #swedish are not too difficult to rank for with a good website and great content.

I dug into progressive image rendering and found a bunch of common assumptions aren't quite true.
➡️ JPEG & WebP progressive-renders worse in Safari
➡️ AVIF _does_ support progressive
➡️ But JPEG XL in Safari doesn't
➡️ JPEG XL decodes much slower than AVIF
⬇️ and more

Topical authority is no longer a theory. The Google leak reveals the siteFocusScore, which algorithmically measures your site's niche focus. Stray too far from your core topic (siteRadius), and you dilute your authority. Specialization isn't just a strategy; it's a score.
