Speed is the most underrated feature of any website. Visitors won’t praise a fast site — but they’ll abandon a slow one without a second thought. And Google notices too.
Why speed matters twice
First, for people: bounce rates climb sharply with every extra second of load time. Second, for rankings: Google’s Core Web Vitals are a confirmed ranking signal. Slow sites lose on both fronts.
- Optimised images — the biggest, easiest win.
- Good hosting — cheap, overloaded servers are slow.
- Caching — serve pages without rebuilding them each time.
- Lean code — fewer heavy plugins and scripts.
Every second of load time is a toll gate — and some visitors simply turn around.
