Why does your website speed directly impact your revenue?
Every second counts
According to Google, 53% of mobile visitors leave a site that takes more than 3 seconds to load. Amazon calculated that a single extra second of delay costs them $1.6 billion per year in lost sales. Your business isn't Amazon, but the principle is the same.
Impact on SEO
Google has used loading speed as a ranking factor since 2018. Core Web Vitals, performance metrics measured by Google, directly influence your position in search results. A slow site = less visibility = fewer clients.
Impact on conversion
A Portent study shows conversion rates drop by 4.42% for each additional second of load time. Concretely: if your site goes from 2 to 5 seconds of load time, you potentially lose half your conversions.
What slows down a site?
Unoptimized images
A 5MB PNG image where a 200KB WebP would do the same job. This is the most common problem.
Too many plugins and scripts
Every WordPress plugin, every third-party script (chat, analytics, social media) adds weight. Typical WordPress sites load 20 to 40 different scripts.
Inadequate hosting
A $5/month shared hosting can't compete with modern cloud infrastructure for speed.
How to make your site fast?
A site built with modern technologies (Next.js, React) and hosted on cloud infrastructure (Azure, Vercel) loads in under a second. Images are automatically optimized, code is minified, and content is served from servers close to your users.
