Your Slow Website Is Quietly Costing You Jobs

That gorgeous new website might be quietly chasing customers away before they even read your headline. A few seconds of loading time is all it takes to lose a job to the next tradesperson on the list.

If you’re over three seconds, you’re paying for clicks you never get to keep.

The quick rundown

• Over half of mobile visitors leave a site that takes more than three seconds to load.
• Huge, uncompressed photos straight off the camera are usually the biggest speed killer on your site.
• Old chat widgets and unused plugins keep loading on every page even if nobody uses them.
• Always test on mobile data, not home wifi, since wifi hides how slow your site really feels.
• If your site takes over three seconds, you’re paying for clicks you never get to keep.
