Why speed matters

You probably know the feeling. You click through to a page, it loads slowly, and you end up clicking on to the next result on Google.

Imagine this happening on your website without you knowing it. A few seconds doesn't sound like much, but if it takes more than three seconds, your potential customer has often moved on to the competition. If you have a webshop, as many as 53 per cent abandon their purchase if the page is too slow, and they rarely come back.

Speed optimisation can give you:

  • Higher rankings
  • More conversions
  • A higher click-through rate
  • Longer visits to the site

How Google measures speed

A typical website should take no more than two seconds to load. That doesn't sound like much, but it's the limit of what Google accepts.

So keep an eye on how fast your website is. Speed is one of Google's ranking factors, so a slow site can hold you back in the search results.

Speed also matters a lot for usability, which is an important factor in any marketing strategy. A slow site makes the experience worse for your visitors.

Four things that affect speed

Speed optimisation fixes the issues that make your website slow. It's usually a combination of several things, so we go over the site with a fine-tooth comb. Speed is part of technical SEO.

Speed optimisation is part of technical SEO. Four things come up again and again:

Image files that are too large

Images are important, but the files mustn't take up too much space. We compress them so they're as small as possible without losing quality, and the site loads faster.

Lazy loading

Images only load when the user scrolls down to them. The site doesn't have to fetch everything at once, which makes it significantly faster for visitors.

Browser caching

The browser stores parts of the site, so repeat visits load much faster. Our hosting also runs on servers with NGINX server caching, which gives a shorter load time.

Too many plugins

Plugins are indispensable in WordPress, but too many make the site heavier to load. We clear out the unnecessary ones, so the site only loads what it needs.

Support and hosting

We also offer support and hosting agreements. That way, you can always contact us for advice and help with fixes and technical problems.

Traffic and copy for your fast website

Your website can be as good-looking and fast as you like. Without visitors and relevant content, it loses its purpose.

That's why we also help with SEO and digital advertising (PPC) that drives relevant traffic to your website. Our content department writes engaging, search-engine-friendly and targeted content, so the website gets both visitors and good copy.

How we work

Strategy

We measure the site and start with what's slowing it down most, on the pages that matter most to your customers.

Branding

Faster mustn't mean worse images. We compress with care, so your look holds up.

Execution

We fix images, plugins and caching, and measure again. AI handles the routine work, and a human decides what changes.

An honest caveat

No one can promise you a specific ranking on Google, even if your site gets faster.

Questions about speed optimisation

How much does speed optimisation cost?

The price depends on how much is slowing the site down and how many pages need reviewing. You get the price in black and white before we start.

How can you tell if your website is slow?

Test the site in Google's PageSpeed Insights, which shows the Core Web Vitals for your page. We'll go through the results with you.

How fast should a website load?

Google considers a page good when it displays the largest element in under 2.5 seconds. The faster, the better for your visitors.

Can you do anything yourself?

Yes. You can compress images, turn on browser caching and remove plugins you don't use. The rest requires a technical review.

Can you also handle hosting?

Yes. We host on fast servers and can include support and hosting in the agreement.
