SEO pain point
Slow website hurting SEO?
Page speed is both a ranking factor and a conversion killer — especially on mobile, where most local service searches happen. A beautiful site that loads in six seconds loses rankings and phone calls.

Symptoms
Does this sound familiar?
- Google PageSpeed Insights scores red or amber on mobile.
- High bounce rate on service pages — visitors leave before reading.
- Large unoptimised images, render-blocking scripts or heavy page builders.
- Core Web Vitals failing in Search Console while competitors pass.
Root causes
Why this happens
- Theme or page-builder bloat without performance budget.
- Uncompressed images and missing lazy loading on above-the-fold content.
- Third-party scripts (chat widgets, trackers) loaded synchronously.
- Cheap hosting or no CDN for UK visitors.

Not a generic checklist — these map to our SEO process and service deliverables.
Conversion-focused rebuilds
Where needed, trade web design pages (/web-design-for/) combine fast static delivery with local SEO structure — not slow generic templates.
