Why Website Speed Is Critical for Seattle Businesses

Google has made page speed a direct ranking factor. Slow sites rank lower, get less traffic, and lose customers. In fact, a 1-second delay in page load time can result in a 7% reduction in conversions. For a business making $100,000/month, that's $84,000 lost annually.

Beyond SEO, users expect instant gratification. Amazon found that every 100ms of latency cost them 1% in sales. We optimize every aspect of your site's performance to ensure you're not leaving money on the table.

Website Speed Optimization FAQs

Common questions about improving site performance

How much faster can you make my website?

Results vary, but we typically achieve 50-80% speed improvements. Most sites go from 5-8 seconds load time to under 2 seconds. We've seen PageSpeed scores jump from 30-40 to 90+ after optimization.

Will speed optimization break my website?

No. We test every optimization thoroughly before implementing it on your live site. We also create backups and can quickly revert any changes if needed. Your site's functionality remains intact while loading much faster.

How long does speed optimization take?

Basic optimizations can be completed in 1-2 weeks. Comprehensive speed overhauls typically take 3-4 weeks depending on site complexity. We provide immediate wins while working on deeper optimizations.

Do I need to change hosting providers?

Not always. We first optimize your current setup. If your hosting is the bottleneck, we'll recommend quality providers. Many sites achieve excellent speeds with optimization alone, saving you migration hassles.
