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
