Google penalizes slow websites in rankings, and customers leave them in droves. A 1-second delay on mobile drops conversions by 20%.

Test your speed

Run pagespeed.web.dev. Aim for 90+ on mobile and a Largest Contentful Paint under 2.5 seconds.

The four biggest culprits

  1. Massive unoptimized hero images
  2. Heavy WordPress themes with 30+ plugins
  3. Auto-playing video backgrounds
  4. Render-blocking JavaScript

Quick wins

  • Compress all images to WebP format under 200KB each
  • Lazy-load below-the-fold images
  • Remove unused plugins
  • Use a CDN like Cloudflare (free tier is fine)
  • Inline critical CSS

When to rebuild

If your site is on a bloated theme and even speed plugins can't get you under 4 seconds, it's cheaper to rebuild on a modern stack than to keep band-aiding.
