A slow site costs customers, even if you do not notice
A site's slowness is a silent loss. No one writes to tell you "your site was slow, so I went to the competition". They simply do not arrive.
Yet the numbers have been clear for years: every extra second of waiting loses a share of visitors, and the share grows fast. On the phone, where patience is even shorter, the effect is stronger. A slow site loses not only Google rankings, which reward speed: it loses real people, one at a time, in silence.
Why sites become slow
Images too heavy, never optimized. Too many scripts and third-party tools that slow everything down. Complicated technologies where simple ones would have done. And a lack of maintenance, letting ballast pile up year after year. The good news is that almost always slowness can be cured, often without redoing everything.
Speed is not a techie's whim: it is respect for the time of those who visit you, and one of the few advantages felt right away.
How we do it: we build fast sites and keep them that way, because every second gained is a customer who stays instead of leaving.
