Why Your Website Is Slow on Mobile
They tap the link, nothing happens, they go back. You never see them in any report.
What slow actually costs
Someone taps your link on a bus with a bad signal. Nothing appears. After a couple of seconds they go back and try the next one. You do not see a bounce. They never arrived.
Looking good does not help if the page never shows up.
What makes it slow
Huge photos, first. A picture straight off a phone can be enormous. Twenty of them on one page is fatal on mobile data.
Then extras. Chat widgets. Sliders. Popups. Review feeds. Each one is a little wait. Together they are why people leave.
Fix it in a sensible order
Shrink the images. Take off anything that is not earning its place. Then look at the platform if it is still crawling.
Test it honestly. Not on office wifi. Phone, outside, wifi off. Count the seconds. That is what a customer gets.
Your Leeds Website Looks Fine and Still Brings In Nothing
Looking good is one thing. Bringing in business is another. Here is what usually sits in between.
Website Redesign or Start Again?
Sometimes the words at the top of three pages fix it. Sometimes the whole thing is fighting you.
Small Business Website Checklist
Open the site on a phone. Work down the list. A new colour scheme will not cover the gaps.
If the site looks alright and the work is still not coming in
That is usually the words and the layout, not a new colour scheme. A short call is enough to see which.
