Frequently Asked Questions
How slow is too slow for a website?
Google considers anything over 2.5 seconds for Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) as 'needs improvement', and over 4 seconds as 'poor'. For conversions, research shows every 1-second delay costs you 7% of conversions. If your site takes more than 3 seconds to load, you're losing customers and rankings.
What causes a slow website?
The most common causes are: unoptimised images, bloated WordPress plugins, cheap shared hosting, render-blocking JavaScript and CSS, no caching or CDN, large unminified code files, and database bloat. We diagnose the exact issues with a full performance audit before fixing anything.
How long does it take to fix a slow website?
Most speed fixes are completed within 76 hours on our fast-build plan. Simple optimisations (image compression, caching, CDN) can be done in a day. More complex fixes like hosting migration, code refactoring, or full rebuilds may take 1–2 weeks depending on the site.
Will fixing my website speed improve my Google rankings?
Yes. Google uses Core Web Vitals (page speed metrics) as a direct ranking factor. Sites that pass CWV assessments get a ranking boost. We've seen clients jump multiple positions on Google within weeks of speed optimisation — especially for competitive local keywords in Newcastle.
What are Core Web Vitals and why do they matter?
Core Web Vitals are Google's three key metrics for user experience: LCP (loading speed), FID/INP (interactivity), and CLS (visual stability). Google uses these metrics to rank websites. Poor scores hurt your rankings; good scores give you an edge. We optimise all three.
Should I fix my slow website or rebuild it from scratch?
It depends on the underlying platform. If your site is built on outdated technology or a bloated WordPress theme with dozens of plugins, a rebuild is often faster and cheaper than patching. We'll give you honest advice after our free speed audit — sometimes a fix is enough, sometimes a fresh build is the smarter investment.
