Damn that is one hot nerd! Tattoos, blue hair, a nose ring, and a big ass brain! I'm in love.
Contenu de qualité.
Nothing to do with the SEO but is the hair colour on purpose or happy accident?
Best episode yet, Jamie asked good questions.
I love these. I wonder if they share hair dye.
PRO TIP: Change playback speed to 1.50 to save time.

Great video
I first taught Jamie about SEO in 2015 when we both worked at AOL, I really like her as a person, but i'd expect more seasoned representatives of the professional SEO community in these videos
Estaria bueno que esto tuviera subtitulos en español
Great episode, thank you!
Did I understand correctly that the page will not be indexed until the JS and CSS are parsed, executed, and rendered?
I was surprised (not unpleasantly) about it being better to wait a bit longer, but have the page more fully delivered. I'm sick of pages that are so focused on FCP that they are constantly rebuilding themselves as I try to engage with the content.
like magic for me too..
I really think they meet the guests for this show on the saloon waiting line
This was the best video of the series so far. Thank you. Looking forward to more like this.
finally some good questions!
A lot of this was a bit over my head. But I did learn about Lighthouse, so thank you very much for this video, and this series. This is very helpful to me.
