Fast websites rank higher and convert more visitors. Page speed affects bounce rate, time on site, and Google’s Core Web Vitals —
three reasons to make it a priority in 2025.

Why Speed Matters

  • SEO: Google rewards good Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP).
  • UX: People won’t wait for slow pages, especially on mobile data.
  • Revenue: Faster checkouts and forms = more leads and sales.

How to Measure Your Speed

Use free tools like PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix to spot bottlenecks. Check mobile results first — that’s where most local users are.

How We Optimise Sites

  1. Compress and properly size images (WebP/AVIF).
  2. Minify and defer JavaScript and CSS where possible.
  3. Leverage server‑side caching and a CDN.
  4. Clean up unused plugins and third‑party scripts.
  5. Improve hosting or PHP version if needed.

What Good Looks Like

Target LCP under 2.5s, CLS below 0.1, and INP under 200ms. Combine these with a clean, conversion‑focused layout and watch enquiries rise.
