FastPages Review Score

I signed up for the free trial of FastPages and I was very impressed with how easy it was to create landing pages. I do not have any design skills and I hate technical stuff, so it was a real pleasure to use the editor to create good-looking pages.

After creating my pages, I then tested the loading speed. The best way to describe this was “lightning-fast”. My pages came up almost instantly and I tested this with my VPN, which is always a little slower, and the load times were still very impressive. This is a great landing page builder service at the right price.
