05Website speed & Core Web Vitals optimisation

Fast enough for a buyer on a phone, in a hurry.

Most people who find you on Google are on a phone, often on mobile data. If your homepage takes six seconds to show anything, many of them leave before they see your listings or your number. Speed work fixes what makes pages slow, measured with Google's Core Web Vitals.

AProblems it fixes

Signs this is holding you back.

  1. 01

    Huge property photos

    Uncompressed 5MB images from a photographer's camera, loaded all at once, are the most common reason property sites are slow.

  2. 02

    Too many plugins and scripts

    Chat widgets, sliders, trackers and page builders each add weight. Together they block the page from responding.

  3. 03

    Layout that jumps around

    Buttons that move as the page loads cause mis-taps and a poor Cumulative Layout Shift score.

BWhat we do

The work, step by step.

  1. 01

    Measure with real data

    We use Google PageSpeed Insights and field data from real Chrome users to find what's slow for your visitors.

  2. 02

    Image optimisation

    Modern formats, correct sizes for each screen and lazy loading for images below the fold.

  3. 03

    Script and plugin diet

    Remove, defer or replace scripts that block the page, keeping the tools your team actually uses.

  4. 04

    Stability fixes

    Reserve space for images, fonts and embeds so the layout doesn't shift while it loads.

DFAQ

Questions, answered

Can every site reach a perfect 100 score?

Not always, and it isn't the goal. Some themes and platforms have limits. We aim for “good” Core Web Vitals for real users. If the current platform makes that impossible, we'll tell you honestly and discuss a rebuild.

Will speed work break our website?

We work on a staging copy where possible and test key pages and forms before and after every change.
