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

Switch to HTTPS

Lift mobile performance (20/100 → 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

+9%

Lift average rating to 4.0+ (currently 3.8)

A 1-star increase in Yelp/Google rating correlates with 5–9% higher revenue for local businesses. Harvard Business Review
