We built Zaraz to optimize how websites load third-party tools. It requires just a single line of code and can make sites about 40% faster. This improves both conversion rates and SEO by controlling when and how third-party scripts run.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco and operate remotely, with the company based out of San Francisco after YC.

San Francisco is where we are based because it's a major tech hub and where we have the strongest network. Remote work lets us stay flexible while accessing talent and markets.
