Your slow website is quietly costing you customers
Every extra second your site takes to load sends people back to Google. Here's why speed is the cheapest marketing you're not doing, and how to fix it.
Most local businesses think a website is a brochure. It’s actually a storefront, and a slow one has the lights off.
The three-second rule is real
When a page takes longer than about three seconds to load, the majority of mobile visitors leave before they ever see it. They don’t email you to complain. They just tap back and call the next business on the list. You never even know it happened.
Speed is also SEO
Google uses page experience (including how fast and stable your pages feel) to decide who ranks. A faster site doesn’t just keep the visitors you have; it brings you more of them, for free.
What actually makes a site fast
It’s rarely one thing, but the usual suspects are consistent:
- Heavy page builders that ship huge bundles of code for a simple page
- Unoptimized images that are five times larger than they need to be
- Too many third-party scripts loading before your content does
The fix
A modern site ships almost no code, optimizes images automatically, and loads the words and buttons people came for first. That’s exactly how we build at BakrKode: fast by default, so your storefront is always open and always quick.
