On a phone, a slow page loses the homeowner before they see your number.

They tap your site from the map box, often outside on a weak signal. If nothing shows, they go back and tap the next roofer.

Why it matters

53%

of phone visits were likely to be dropped when a page took longer than 3 seconds to load, Google reported in 2016. [1]

21.6%

more visitors reached the form page on lead sites when pages got 0.1 seconds faster, in one study of 37 brands. [2]

Google measures it, too

Google says its ranking systems use Core Web Vitals, a set of speed and stability checks on real visits. [3] Relevance still comes first: a fast page about the wrong thing won't win.

What Google calls "good" [4]

2.5 secondsor less for the main part of the page to show
0.2 secondsor less to react when someone taps
Barely movesnothing jumps around while it loads

What slows a page down

Most slow trade sites carry the same weight: photos straight off a camera, sliders, chat pop-ups, and page-builder scripts.
