Why speed matters
- First impressions. A slow site feels dated. A fast site feels professional.
- Better rankings. Page experience and speed are part of how search engines decide which result to show first.
- More conversions. Every second saved reduces the chance that a visitor gives up and leaves.
Common causes of slow pages
- Large unoptimised images and video
- Too many scripts loading on each page
- Unclear caching rules or no content delivery network
- Old themes and heavy plugins that add bloat
