Speed isn't a technical nicety — it directly shapes how many people find your site and how many of them buy. Google ranks on it, and users abandon slow pages.
The double impact
- SEO: Core Web Vitals are a confirmed Google ranking signal
- Conversions: every extra second of load time drops conversion rates
- Bounce: slow mobile pages lose visitors before they see anything
The common culprits
Oversized images, bloated JavaScript, render-blocking scripts, and slow hosting cause most speed problems. Fixing them is usually the highest-ROI improvement you can make.
The fastest code is the code you never send to the browser.
