Keyword Stuffing
Keyword stuffing is a “black hat” SEO technique, wherein sites will “stuff” a webpage with words on a topic they’d like to rank for, but without concern for the usability, accuracy or informational value of the page.
This practice is frowned upon by search engines and can damage your search rankings if you engage in it.

Mobile First
Most web traffic on the internet is now from mobile devices. Mobile First refers to a design philosophy that prioritizes a website’s mobile view first, rather than desktop or tablet views. All need to be completed for a website to be fully functional, but this prioritizes the view that a majority of users will see.

Above the Fold
Originally, Above the Fold referred to print newspapers, and described everything on the top half of the front page.
In website design, Above the Fold refers to any elements that are visible at the top of a webpage, usually the site’s homepage, without having to scroll down.
Optimizing the design of your homepage above the fold can be important to make a good first impression and clarify the intent of your website for the user. However, on some mobile-first or app-based sites, other considerations present themselves, since scrolling for the majority of a page’s content is more expected on these platforms.
