Speed Fix
Slow website? We'll make it fast.
Sub-2-second loads and 90+ PageSpeed scores, guaranteed. Most Dorset sites load in 5+ seconds — that's lost rankings and lost sales every single day.
Google ranks slow sites lower. AI Overviews skip them. Mobile visitors abandon them. A one-second delay can cut conversions by double-digit percentages — and most local Bournemouth sites we audit load in over 5 seconds. The fix is almost always cheaper than the lost revenue.
Why speed costs you money
53% of mobile visitors leave a site that takes more than 3 seconds to load. Conversion rates fall sharply between 1 and 4 seconds. Core Web Vitals are a Google ranking factor — slow sites quietly drop down the results and you blame "the algorithm" when the problem is your homepage takes 6 seconds to render.
Why most local sites are slow
Bloated page builders (Avada, Divi, multi-purpose ThemeForest themes), unoptimised images uploaded straight from a phone, too many plugins doing overlapping jobs, cheap shared hosting with noisy neighbours, render-blocking JavaScript, no caching, no CDN. The stack is the problem — not your content.
Our fix
Free 48-hour audit first — we tell you what's slow and what it'll cost to fix. Then: image optimisation to modern formats (WebP/AVIF), proper caching (page + object + browser), CDN setup, plugin audit and removal, JavaScript deferral, critical CSS inlining, and font optimisation. Bigger fixes — theme swap or page-builder migration — only if the foundation is genuinely the problem.
Before-and-after metrics
You get a written before/after report: PageSpeed Insights mobile + desktop, GTmetrix, real Core Web Vitals from Google Search Console. No "trust us" — actual numbers, screenshotted, on the day of delivery.
90+ PageSpeed, guaranteed
On standard brochure and small e-commerce sites, we guarantee 90+ mobile PageSpeed or you don't pay the final invoice. That's how confident we are in the process — and why we won't take on a project we don't think we can deliver on.
