Why my website is slow and how to fix it

If your website takes more than three seconds to open, a large share of visitors leave before they see what you offer. The good news: a slow website is one of the problems with the quickest fix.

How to check in a minute

Open pagespeed.web.dev, enter your address and look at the mobile score. Under 50 is a call to action, over 90 is excellent.

Where the slowness comes from

  • 5 MB photos uploaded straight from a phone. One such photo weighs as much as an entire fast website.
  • Twenty WordPress plugins, each with its own files that the browser has to download.
  • Hosting for a few euros a month, shared with thousands of other sites.
  • Fonts, videos and counters that load before the text appears.

What you gain

A faster site keeps more people, Google shows it higher up and your ads cost less per click. That is money that comes back every month without you doing anything more.

How we fix it

We optimise the images, remove what is unnecessary and, when it makes sense, move the site to a static foundation that opens in a fraction of a second. Most sites we make at least twice as fast.
