Mobile Visitor Study

According to a study undertaken by Google back in 2017, over half of the mobile visitors will leave a website if it takes longer than three seconds to load. And, furthermore, one in two visitors expect the page to load in less than two seconds.

So, there are several, reasonably quick, ways to improve your website’s speed.


  1. Use a free online service to test how fast your site is (for example, web.dev)

  2. Optimise your images. There are several services available for this, but the easiest way I’ve found is to open the image in Photoshop, and ‘save for web’. It can also help to ensure that your images aren’t overly large, a width of 1200px is normally considered the max.

  3. Less is More. Yes, moving images and animations may make your web page look good, but they can lead to a longer loading time.
