# Website Slow to Load? What Slows Sites Down and How to Speed Yours Up

Most slow websites are weighed down by oversized images, too many plugins and third-party scripts, budget hosting and missing caching. Test the site with Google PageSpeed Insights, then fix the biggest items it flags first.

- **Starting price:** From $375

- **Where:** Remote, anywhere in the U.S.

- **Quote:** Fixed price before work starts

## Try this first

- Run your home page and a key page through PageSpeed Insights
- Resize and compress large images, and use modern formats like WebP
- Remove plugins, chat widgets and trackers you don’t need
- Turn on caching
- Put the site behind a CDN such as Cloudflare
- Check whether your hosting plan is underpowered

Common causes

- Photos uploaded straight from a camera or phone
- Too many plugins, widgets and tracking scripts
- Cheap shared hosting
- No caching or content delivery network
- A heavy theme or page builder

## When it’s more than a quick fix

If the site is still slow after the easy fixes, or the scores are poor on phones, the theme, code or hosting needs work.

### How we fix it remotely

We profile the site, fix images, scripts, caching and hosting, and re-test until it’s fast on real phones, usually without a redesign.

## Questions

### Does website speed affect Google rankings?

Yes. Core Web Vitals are among the signals Google’s ranking systems use, and slow pages also lose visitors before they finish loading.

### What is a good PageSpeed score?

Aim for “good” Core Web Vitals on mobile. The score matters less than how fast real visitors can see and use the page.

### Can you fix this remotely?

We profile the site, fix images, scripts, caching and hosting, and re-test until it’s fast on real phones, usually without a redesign.
