What We Fix

Four performance bottlenecks
we eliminate.

Core Web Vitals↗
Pass Every
Speed Test.

We fix all three Page Experience signals — Largest Contentful Paint, Interaction to Next Paint, and Cumulative Layout Shift — so your site loads fast, stays stable, and responds instantly on every device.
Image Optimisation↗
Half the Size.
Same Quality.

We convert your images to modern formats (WebP/AVIF), add lazy loading, and compress without visible quality loss. Unoptimised images are the single biggest cause of slow-loading pages — we fix every one.
Code Optimisation↗
No Dead Code.
Pure Speed.

We strip unused CSS and JavaScript, minify what remains, and defer scripts that don't need to load upfront — so your browser renders the page immediately instead of waiting for unnecessary code.
Server & Infrastructure↗
Faster
First Byte.

We set up caching headers, configure a CDN, and reduce server response times so your site starts loading immediately — before a single image or script has even been requested.

Why does page speed affect SEO rankings and revenue?

A slow site doesn't just
frustrate users.
It loses rankings.

Speed is measurable revenue. Every 100ms of latency costs Amazon 1% in sales. Google ranks faster sites above slower ones with identical content. The compounding effect of poor page speed touches SEO, conversions, and ad spend efficiency simultaneously.

Core Web Vitals as Ranking Signal

Google's Page Experience algorithm uses LCP, INP, and CLS as direct ranking signals. Sites that pass all three thresholds receive a ranking boost over equivalent pages that fail — regardless of content quality.

Slow Sites Lose Visitors Before They Read a Word

53% of mobile users abandon pages that take longer than 3 seconds to load. When visitors leave immediately, Google notices — and your rankings suffer as a result. Speed is the first thing people judge you on.

Conversion Rate Impact

Walmart found that every 1-second improvement in load time increased conversions by 2%. A 1-second delay reduces conversions by 7%. Page speed is directly tied to revenue — not just search visibility.

Mobile-First Indexing

Search engines index and rank the mobile version of your site. Mobile page speed is weighted more heavily than desktop performance — a fast desktop site with a slow mobile experience still loses rankings.

What does page speed optimisation include?

Faster in
4 phases.

From baseline diagnosis to verified Core Web Vitals scores — a structured process that delivers measurable speed improvements on every site.

questions.

LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) measures how long it takes for the largest visible element on your page to fully load — typically a hero image or headline. Google's threshold is under 2.5 seconds for a —Good— score. Sites failing LCP are ranked below passing competitors in the Page Experience signal, regardless of their content quality.
Page speed is a direct ranking factor through the Page Experience algorithm. Sites that pass all three Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) receive a ranking advantage over equivalent sites that fail. Beyond SEO, a 1-second delay reduces conversions by 7% and increases bounce rate by 32% — making speed both a search and revenue issue.
The most common causes are: (1) Unoptimised images — the #1 cause of slow LCP; (2) Render-blocking JavaScript and CSS preventing the browser from painting the page; (3) Slow server response time (high TTFB); (4) No CDN or caching configuration; (5) Unused CSS/JS loading on every page; (6) Images or ads without defined width/height causing layout shifts (CLS).
The initial optimisation is a one-time project. However, speed can degrade as new images, plugins, scripts, and content are added over time. We recommend a quarterly speed check to maintain passing Core Web Vitals scores as your site grows. We offer a $99/quarter maintenance plan for ongoing monitoring.
Google classifies 90+ as —Good—, 50–89 as —Needs Improvement—, and below 50 as —Poor—. However, the raw score matters less than passing the three Core Web Vitals thresholds: LCP under 2.5s, INP under 200ms, and CLS under 0.1. A site can score 80 and still qualify for the Page Experience ranking boost if all three CWV thresholds are met.
