Transform Your Slow Website to Lighthouse 90+ in 2-3 Weeks
Fix existing sites without expensive redesigns. Pass Core Web Vitals, rank higher in Google, and convert more visitors.
Your website is costing you customers and search rankings every day it stays slow. Google's Core Web Vitals update prioritizes fast sites—fail these metrics and you'll never rank #1 regardless of content quality. Slow sites lose 7% of conversions for every 1-second delay (Google research). We take existing websites on ANY platform (WordPress, Shopify, custom, etc.) and optimize them to Lighthouse 90+ scores in 2-3 weeks. No redesign required. Zero downtime. Guaranteed results or money back.
The Hidden Cost of Slow Websites: Revenue, Rankings, and Reputation
Every second your site stays slow, you're losing money to faster competitors
Your Current Situation
After Optimization (1.2s Load Time)
You're losing approximately $3,570/month ($42,840/year) due to slow page speed
SEO Impact: Core Web Vitals Are Now Ranking Factors
Google now uses page speed as a direct ranking factor. Sites failing Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS) cannot rank #1 regardless of content quality.
Real Client SEO Impact
- Sites passing all 3 Core Web Vitals rank average 15-25 positions higher
- 53% of mobile searches go to sites ranking in top 3 results
- Dropping from position #3 to #10 = 75% traffic loss
User Experience Impact: The 3-Second Rule
Users form first impressions in 50 milliseconds (0.05 seconds). Slow load times create negative brand perception before content even renders.
Key Research Findings:
- +1 second = -11% fewer page views (Aberdeen Group)
- +1 second = -16% customer satisfaction (Aberdeen Group)
- 47% of consumers expect pages to load in 2 seconds or less

8 Performance Killers Destroying Your Website Speed
Most sites have 5-7 of these issues. Each one costs you conversions and rankings.
Uploading 5MB phone photos directly to website
Images are 50-70% of total page weight, primary LCP killer
Convert to WebP format, resize appropriately, implement lazy loading
40-70% reduction in page size, 2-4s faster LCP
JavaScript files blocking initial page render
Users stare at blank white screen for 2-6 seconds
Defer non-critical JavaScript, async loading, code splitting
1-3s faster FCP, better perceived performance
Large CSS files preventing page render
Flash of unstyled content (FOUC), slow FCP
Inline critical CSS, defer non-critical CSS, remove unused CSS
0.5-2s faster FCP
Browser re-downloads same files on every visit
Slow returning visitor experience, high server load
Implement browser caching headers, server-side caching, CDN
60-90% faster for returning visitors
Cheap hosting, unoptimized server, database issues
High TTFB (300-2000ms delay), all metrics suffer
Upgrade hosting, optimize database queries, implement server caching
200-1500ms faster initial response
15+ third-party scripts (ads, analytics, chat, tracking)
Each script adds 100-500ms, compounds to 2-5s delay
Audit necessity, load asynchronously, use tag manager efficiently
1-4s faster TTI (Time To Interactive)
Images, ads, or fonts loading without reserved space
Content jumps around, poor UX, Google penalty
Set image dimensions, reserve ad space, preload fonts
CLS from 0.3-0.5 to under 0.1
Years of transients, post revisions, spam, bloated tables
Slow queries increase TTFB, high server resource usage
Clean transients, limit post revisions, optimize tables, add indexes
30-60% faster database queries

Get Free Performance AuditCore Web Vitals Explained: LCP, FID, and CLS
Google's three metrics that determine if your site passes or fails. Master these or lose rankings.
Google's Core Web Vitals are three specific performance metrics that measure user experience. Since June 2021, they're direct ranking factors—fail these and you won't rank #1 no matter how good your content is.
Important: Google evaluates Core Web Vitals at the 75th percentile of page loads. This means 75% of your visitors must have good experiences on all three metrics.
What it measures:
How long until the largest visible element loads (main image, hero section, headline)
Why it matters:
Users perceive sites as "loaded" when main content appears. Slow LCP = users think site is broken.
Thresholds:
Common Causes:
- Oversized hero images (3-8 MB unoptimized photos)
- Render-blocking JavaScript delaying image load
- Slow server response time (TTFB over 600ms)
- No image preloading for above-fold content
How We Fix:
- Optimize hero images (WebP format, proper sizing)
- Preload critical images with
<link rel="preload"> - Eliminate render-blocking resources
- Improve server response time (better hosting, caching)
Typical Improvement: 6.2s → 1.2s (80% faster)
What it measures:
How long until the page responds to first user interaction (click, tap, key press)
Why it matters:
Nothing frustrates users more than clicking and nothing happens. High FID = site feels frozen.
Thresholds:
Common Causes:
- Heavy JavaScript execution blocking main thread
- Third-party scripts monopolizing CPU
- Long tasks exceeding 50ms
- No code splitting (entire app loads at once)
How We Fix:
- Break up long JavaScript tasks
- Defer non-critical JavaScript
- Remove or lazy-load heavy third-party scripts
- Implement code splitting and tree shaking
Typical Improvement: 340ms → 45ms (87% faster)
What it measures:
Visual stability—how much content shifts around as page loads
Why it matters:
Users click buttons that move, read paragraphs that jump. Poor CLS = terrible UX and accidental clicks.
Thresholds:
Common Causes:
- Images/videos without width/height attributes
- Ads, embeds, iframes injecting without reserved space
- Web fonts causing FOIT (flash of invisible text)
- Dynamic content inserting above existing content
How We Fix:
- Set explicit width and height on all images/videos
- Reserve space for ads and embeds with min-height
- Preload fonts and use font-display: swap
- Avoid inserting content above existing (unless user action)
Typical Improvement: 0.42 → 0.05 (88% improvement)
