The 3-Second Rule
You walk into a store. No one greets you. You ask a question. Silence. You wait 5 seconds. You leave.
This happens on your website every single day. Google data shows that 53% of mobile users abandon a site if it takes longer than 3 seconds to load.
If you are paying for ads (Google/Facebook) to drive traffic to a slow site, you are essentially lighting money on fire. You are paying for clicks that never become customers because they left before the headline loaded.
Milliseconds Make Millions
The giants have done the math:
- Amazon: Every 100ms latency = 1% loss in revenue.
- Google: Adding 0.5s search latency = 20% traffic drop.
- Walmart: Improving load time by 1s = 2% conversion increase.
You might not be Amazon, but the psychology is the same. A slow site subconsciously tells your customer: “This business is outdated, slow, and unreliable.”
How We Engineer Speed
Most agencies just install a “Caching Plugin” and hope for the best. That is a band-aid, not a cure.
We engineer speed at the Architecture Level:
- Zero-Bundle JavaScript: We verify that no unused code is sent to the user.
- Edge Network Hosting: Your site lives on servers in 300+ cities worldwide, not just one box in Texas.
- Image Optimization: We use next-gen formats (AVIF/WebP) that are 10x smaller than JPGs without quality loss.
The result? A Google Performance Score of 90+. We turn your speed from a liability into a competitive advantage.
