Website Performance — Because Speed Is a Ranking Factor
PageSpeed 85+ target, Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS), image WebP/srcset, analytics defer, critical CSS, Cloudflare cache & CDN optimization.
Quick Answer
Google confirms Core Web Vitals are a ranking factor. Less than 33% of websites pass Google's assessment — meaning 67% lose rankings to faster competitors. We offer 5 fixed-price performance services from $89: PageSpeed optimization (target 85+), image optimization, analytics defer, critical CSS, and cache/CDN setup. Results visible immediately after deployment.
Your Website Is Slower Than You Think
PageSpeed Insights tests on a slow mobile device over 4G — the same conditions your real users experience. Most websites score 40–65 on mobile. That means slow LCP (users wait 4–6 seconds to see main content), heavy images (loading 1440px images on 480px screens), blocking scripts (analytics loading before content), and no caching (every visit downloads everything from scratch). Each problem costs you rankings, visitors, and revenue. Amazon found that every 100ms of latency costs 1% in sales.
What We Optimize
LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) — target: under 2.5 seconds. We optimize hero images (WebP, srcset, preload), eliminate render-blocking CSS, and defer non-critical resources.
INP (Interaction to Next Paint) — target: under 200ms. We reduce JavaScript execution time, split heavy bundles, and defer third-party scripts.
CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) — target: under 0.1. We add explicit width/height to images, pre-allocate space for ads and dynamic content, and use font-display: swap.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will performance optimization break my website?+
No. We test every change before deployment. You get a before/after PageSpeed report. 14-day warranty — if anything breaks, we fix it for free.
My PageSpeed score is 90+ on desktop but 40 on mobile. Why?+
PageSpeed tests mobile on a slow device (Moto G Power, 4G). Desktop tests on fast hardware. Mobile is what Google uses for rankings (mobile-first indexing). We optimize specifically for mobile conditions.
Does PageSpeed score directly affect rankings?+
Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) are a confirmed ranking factor. PageSpeed lab score itself is not — but it correlates strongly. When two pages have similar content quality, the faster page wins.
What's the single biggest PageSpeed improvement I can make?+
Image optimization (WebP + srcset + lazy load) is usually the fastest win with the biggest impact — typically 10–30 point improvement alone.
How long do performance improvements take to reflect in Google?+
Core Web Vitals improvements appear in field data (Chrome UX Report) within 28 days — that's Google's measurement window for CWV in rankings.
