Hi everyone,
I’m currently optimizing my website for better SEO performance, and I noticed that some external links might be affecting my loading speed. One of the main outbound links I’m using is to Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/


Does adding a backlink to high-authority sites like this help with SEO, or could it slow down my page? Also, should I use nofollow or dofollow for such links to keep my rankings safe?


Would love to hear what strategies you all use when linking to authoritative platforms for SEO purposes.

2 main factors that add to the load (apart from the hosting setup): size of images and all the different scripts webmasters use (analytics, adsense, facebook like/share boxes etc)

check your site with: https://tools.pingdom.com/ .. what numbers do you get with it? .. also, I would issitially check it with disabled caching and performance plugins (help getting broader picture).. share the results url here, if you wish

I’ve found that outbound links like Facebook don’t slow pages much, it’s usually heavy scripts. For improving rankings, I’ve used link building seo services from Crowdo to build quality backlinks safely; their white-hat approach works well.

core web vitals > page speed insights

Its usually google scripts loading
