Website Speed: Why Every Second Costs You Customers
A one-second delay in page load time reduces conversions by 7%. If your website takes more than 3 seconds to load, over half your visitors will leave before they ever see your content.
Speed isn't just about user experience - it's a direct ranking factor. Google uses Core Web Vitals to measure how fast and responsive your site is, and slow sites get pushed down in search results.
What Slows Websites Down
- > Unoptimized Images: A single uncompressed hero image can be 5MB+. That's longer than most visitors are willing to wait, especially on mobile data.
- > Too Many HTTP Requests: Every font, script, stylesheet, and image is a separate request to the server. More requests = slower load times.
- > Cheap Hosting: Budget shared hosting means your site shares resources with hundreds of other sites. When traffic spikes, your site grinds to a halt.
