Why your WordPress site loads in 8 seconds (and why you're losing customers because of it)
Google's data is clear: 53% of mobile users abandon sites that take longer than 3 seconds to load.
Your WordPress site? Probably loading in 6-8 seconds.
The culprits killing your speed:
Unoptimized images (the #1 issue)
Too many plugins running simultaneously
Cheap hosting that can't handle traffic spikes
I tested this on a client's site: Before optimization: 7.2 seconds load time After optimization: 1.8 seconds load time Result: 34% increase in conversions within 2 weeks
Quick wins you can do today: → Run your site through GTmetrix (free tool) → Compress images with ShortPixel or Imagify → Remove plugins you installed but never actually use
Speed isn't just technical it's revenue.

Most websites don’t fail because of design, they fail because they don’t convert.
Over the past few months, I’ve been helping businesses turn slow, messy websites into fast, revenue-driven platforms using WordPress, Elementor, and custom integrations.
The PageSpeed result attached is from a recent optimization where we improved core web vitals, cleaned backend processes, and streamlined frontend assets, real performance gains that directly impact SEO and conversions.
If you’re struggling with:
• Low conversions
• Poor page speed
• Complex integrations (payments, courses, EMR, etc.)
• A site that feels “unfinished”
Let’s fix it.
I’m always open to collaborating on meaningful projects and long-term partnerships.

Strong point. Speed improvements often get attention, but conversion usually comes from clarity + UX. In this project, what had the biggest impact: performance optimizations or layout/messaging changes?
39 clicks.
707 impressions.
$0.94 CPC.
$36.77 spent.
Under $1 per click.
But that’s not the headline.
The real headline is this:
Consistency.
Look at the flow of traffic throughout the day.
No panic spikes.
No budget bleed.
No erratic swings.
Just steady acquisition.
Anyone can screenshot a lucky day.
What I care about is repeatable performance.
Because scalable Google Ads isn’t built on “good days.”
It’s built on systems that produce predictable ones.
That’s the difference between running ads…
and engineering growth.
Love this framing. Low CPC is nice, but consistency in acquisition is what actually stabilizes growth. Predictability > spikes — especially when scaling budgets.
Most business owners think they need a “better design.”
They don’t.
They need a website that communicates clearly, builds trust fast, and guides visitors toward action.
A high-performing website isn’t about trends.
It’s about structure, psychology, and positioning.
If your site looks good but isn’t generating leads, the problem isn’t traffic.
It’s strategy.
That’s exactly what I focus on when building with Framer & WordPress — websites designed to convert, not just impress.
If you want honest feedback on your site,
comment “SITE” or send me a DM.
Exactly this. Visual polish rarely fixes performance problems — clarity, hierarchy, and decision flow do. Design is ultimately behavior engineering.
