Why Performance Matters for Your Business
Website performance directly impacts your bottom line. Studies show that even a 1 second delay in page load time can reduce conversions by 7%, and 53% of mobile users abandon sites that take longer than 3 seconds to load. Google also uses page speed as a ranking factor, meaning slow websites rank lower in search results.
We obsess over performance because we know it drives real business results. Our websites consistently achieve sub 1 second load times and 98+ PageSpeed scores, putting you ahead of 95% of competitors. Here is how we achieve exceptional performance:
Image Optimization
We compress and optimize every image using next generation formats like WebP and AVIF, implement responsive images that serve appropriate sizes for each device, and use lazy loading to defer offscreen images until needed.
Code Optimization
We write clean, efficient code with minimal dependencies, minify CSS and JavaScript files, eliminate render blocking resources, and use code splitting to load only what is needed for each page.
Caching Strategies
We implement browser caching, server side caching, and CDN caching to serve content from locations closest to your visitors, dramatically reducing load times for repeat visitors.
Core Web Vitals
We optimize for Google's Core Web Vitals metrics including Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Input Delay (FID), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) to ensure excellent user experience and search rankings.
