Exporting raw HTML from Leadpages (5)
I am quite familiar with the search bar, so I know raw HTML is best for speed and sites like Leadpages and Unbounce are universally not recommended. Mainly because the LP's are hosted on another server and the files are large especially for mobile. But what if I use Leadpages strictly to export the raw HTML and hosted it on my own CDN? https://support.leadpages.net/hc/en-...-my-own-server
Wouldn't the extra speed coming with buying this be worth my time many times over than if I wrote the HTML by hand? I feel like I could have another lander or two created in the time it would take just to find the exact coordinates I need to have everything positioned the way I want.
Going from memory here because the last time I exported LP HTML was in late 2015 or early this year.
The code is heavy with a lot of stuff (js,CSS, 3rd party widgets etc) some of them were not needed but included anyway.
So hosting it on your CDN is still not going to fix the problem of the page being bloated and slower than it needs to be. I believe they use a CDN too, so simply adding your CDN usually won't make much of a difference.
For the best results you will have to manually tweak the source.
That said, even though I'm very comfortable editing and creating HTML from scratch, I am a long time customer still use LP because I can get a very good looking page built and live very quickly.
Plus all my clicks are from warm traffic coming from my email list, so they are less likely to bounce from a few extra ms of page load time.
Mr Baffoe is right - Simply exporting the HTML from LP and adding in a CDN is not going to cut it. You'd still have to clean up all the code and remove the unnecessary bits. With practice even for a designer like me it doesn't take that long. It's still quite frustrating though.
It also depends on what you plan on running. If you're focused on pop traffic it's unlikely you'd need to spend hours coding landers from scratch. Whenever you find a winning lander for any offer type you can reuse it for other offers with very few tweaks.
That being said, there are quite a few awesome STM tutorials focused just on coding up landers very quickly, check the links below:

Another option you have is you can start a mastermind (highly recommended) and team up with people who have different skills, one of them being coding. Or you can just hire a coder to clean up landers for you, once you have a nice stash of landers you wouldn't need them anymore.
Thanks guys! In your guys experience is it quicker for you to review and edit out the unnecessary code or code a new one from scratch? If it is quicker, is it so much quicker that it is worth the cost of subscription? Also once you've found the process for editing the code in these landing pages is it generally the same process every time for each page you create?
