Speed Is No Longer Optional — It’s Critical
When it comes to your website, users make snap judgements. In fact, 53% of mobile users will abandon a site that takes longer than 3 seconds to load (Google, 2018).
This isn’t just a user experience issue. It’s directly tied to your:
- Conversion rate
- Search engine rankings
- Ad performance
- Bounce rate
- Customer trust
A fast website isn’t just a “nice to have” — it’s an essential foundation for doing business online.
The Stats: Why Load Time Kills Conversions
Let’s look at the facts:
- 1–3 seconds load time = best conversion rates
- Every additional second of load time can reduce conversions by up to 20% (Google/SOASTA)
- 70% of consumers say site speed affects their willingness to buy from an online retailer (Unbounce)
- Site speed is a confirmed ranking factor in Google’s algorithm — especially on mobile
Whether you’re running a SaaS platform, eCommerce store, or B2B lead generation funnel, your site’s speed is either supporting or sabotaging your success.
Why Is Your Website Slow?
There are multiple culprits behind sluggish performance. Common ones include:
- Overloaded or underpowered hosting
- Bloated themes and plugins
- Unoptimised images and video
- Lack of caching tools
- Poor code structure or external scripts
- No CDN or geo-distribution
At Websi, we see this every week — businesses running expensive ad campaigns or SEO strategies, only to lose users due to performance bottlenecks they didn’t know they had.
How Websi Solves This With Premium Speed Tools

3. Built-in CDN (88+ PoPs)
Our ISO27001-compliant CDN distributes your content globally, ensuring visitors get lightning-fast load speeds no matter where they’re based.
4. Smart Performance Tuning

5. Proactive Monitoring & Updates
We monitor site performance 24/7 and make regular updates to ensure your platform remains secure and blazing fast.
