Is Your Website Slow? Here's Why It's Costing You Customers
A slow website loses customers before they've read a word. Most people give up on a page that takes more than three seconds to load, and Google notices too, ranking slow sites lower in search results.
Why Speed Matters More Than You Think
Every extra second of load time increases the chance a visitor leaves. On mobile, where most searches now happen, slow pages are even more frustrating. If your site is hosted on cheap, shared, or outdated infrastructure, no amount of good design will fix the lag.
Speed also affects your Google ranking directly. Google's Core Web Vitals measure how fast your pages load, how quickly they respond, and how stable they are while loading. Sites that perform poorly on these measures rank lower, even if the content is excellent.
Common Causes of a Slow Website
- Older website not using modern code or methods
- Large, unoptimised images
- Outdated plugins or bloated code
- No caching or content delivery network in place
