Estimated Upside

benchmarks · industry sources

5×

Speed up site load (4.3s → under 2.5s)

↑ rank

Switch to HTTPS

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

+44

Lift mobile performance (56/100 → 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

7×
