9 website speed fixes that actually move conversions
On this page

Speed matters because your visitors are on mid-range phones and mobile data. A page that takes six seconds loses a large share of them before they see your offer.

The fixes

  1. Serve WebP or AVIF images at the size they are displayed.
  2. Lazy-load everything below the fold.
  3. Remove unused plugins and scripts — chat widgets and sliders are the usual suspects.
  4. Self-host fonts and load only the weights you use.
  5. Cache pages and use a CDN.
  6. Defer third-party tags until after the page renders.
  7. Fix layout shift by giving images width and height.
  8. Upgrade PHP to a supported version.
  9. Measure on a real phone, not just your office Wi-Fi.
