Hero
In the context of web design, the Hero area (sometimes used as “Hero Image” as well) refers to the primary spread on a webpage, usually the site’s homepage, at or near the top of the screen and generally just below the navigation menu.
Your hero area should be the most visually prominent area of the page, and also have the most immediate, actionable information for the user to your site.

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.

Google Analytics
A free, browser-based software that allows users to link their website to the Google Analytics (GA) platform. The tool then gives users information about users and traffic to their website including, but not limited to, total visitors and visits, individual pages visited, what site users entered your website from, and demographic information on users such as age and geographic region.
The most recent version of Google Analytics is GA4, replacing the previous version, Universal Analytics. Having GA set up for your business is an easy and important step to gathering useful data on your website’s effectiveness.
