Estimated Upside

benchmarks · industry sources

Speed up site load (24.0s → under 2.5s)

Pages loading in 1s have 5× higher conversion than pages loading in 5s. 53% of mobile users abandon sites that take longer than 3 seconds. Google CrUX

↑ rank

Switch to HTTPS

Google deprioritizes HTTP sites in search rankings, and modern browsers flag them "Not Secure" — visitors leave on sight. Google Webmaster

+40

Lift mobile performance (60/100 → 90+)

60% of local searches happen on mobile. A poor mobile score means slow loading, high bounce, and lost customers before they ever see you. Think with Google

Complete your Google Business Profile

Profiles with full descriptions, hours, services, and Q&A get up to 7× more clicks than partial ones. Google Business research

Estimates are industry benchmarks, not guarantees. Actual results depend on execution, competition, and your specific market.
