Slow websites lose customers. Here are proven techniques to make your WordPress site faster, explained without the technical overwhelm.
Read moreEvery second counts. Slow websites lose customers, hurt rankings, and frustrate visitors. We make WordPress sites properly fast — not just "slightly better" fast.
A one-second delay reduces conversions by 7%. For a site doing €100,000/month, that's €7,000 lost — every single month. Speed isn't optional anymore.
Google's Core Web Vitals are now a confirmed ranking factor. Slow sites get pushed down in search results, losing organic traffic to faster competitors.
53% of mobile visitors abandon sites that take longer than 3 seconds to load. You're losing over half your potential customers before they see your content.
