Before we dive into how to fix a slow website, here’s why speed is a big deal for your business:

• Visitors Expect Fast Websites: If your site takes too long to load, people will leave before seeing your content. A fast site keeps them engaged.
• Search Engines Love Speed: Google ranks faster websites higher in search results, which helps more people find you online.
• Mobile Users Need Speed: Most people browse on their phones, and a slow site on mobile can drive them away even faster.
• Fast Sites Lead to More Sales: Research shows faster websites have higher conversion rates, meaning more sales, sign-ups, or inquiries for your business.

How to Make Your Website Faster

You don’t need to be a tech expert to speed up your website. Here are a few simple tips:

Optimise Your Images

Big images slow websites down. Use tools like Canva to resize and compress your images without losing quality.

Keep Your Code Clean

Your website runs on code (like CSS and JavaScript). Combining and minimising files can make your site load faster. If you’re not sure how to do this, we can help.

Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN)

A CDN stores your website’s content on servers around the world. When visitors access your site, the content loads from the server closest to them, speeding things up. Tools like Cloudflare make this easy.

Enable Browser Caching

Browser caching saves parts of your website on a visitor’s device, so it loads faster when they return. Most hosting providers or website builders include caching options. We can set this up for you!

Invest in Quality Hosting

Cheap hosting often means slow speeds. Upgrading to a better hosting provider can make a huge difference. We can recommend hosting options tailored to your needs. Still, we will also take care of this for you if we are designing your first-ever website or updating an existing one.

Make Sure Your Website Works on Mobile

Your site should be just as fast and functional on a phone as on a computer. Responsive design is a must, and most website builders offer templates to help.

Test and Tweak Regularly

Use free tools like Google PageSpeed Insights to check your website’s speed. These tools show you what’s slowing your site down and how to fix it.
