Site Speed & Performance Improvements
for eCommerce
Deliver faster, more reliable experiences that support conversion

Site speed and performance directly affect conversion, SEO and customer trust – from first click to checkout.
Slow load times, unstable pages or delayed interactions create friction at critical moments. Even small performance issues can reduce conversion, increase abandonment and undermine brand confidence.
This service focuses on removing those barriers, helping eCommerce stores load faster, behave more reliably and perform consistently across devices and conditions.

Why site performance affects
conversion and growth

Performance is a core part of the customer experience.
Customers expect pages to load quickly and interactions to feel responsive. When that expectation is not met, they hesitate, disengage or leave altogether. Performance also plays a role in search visibility, particularly on mobile, where speed and stability are increasingly important signals.
Improving site performance helps:

Reduce friction during browsing and checkout

Support higher conversion rates

Improve reliability during peak traffic

Protect long-term SEO performance

Performance improvements compound as traffic and trading activity scale.

Where performance issues
limit your store

Site Speed & Performance Improvements focuses on identifying and resolving issues that affect how your store behaves in real-world conditions.

Page load times and responsiveness

Stability during navigation and checkout

Performance across devices and connection speeds

Technical bottlenecks that affect user experience

The emphasis is on practical improvements that have a measurable impact on customer experience and commercial performance.

How we prioritise and deliver
performance improvements

We start by understanding how performance affects your customers and your goals.
We focus on the parts of the journey where performance matters most, not generic speed scores. That might be product discovery, add-to-cart interactions, checkout flow or peak trading periods.
Issues are prioritised based on impact, not effort alone. Improvements are designed to be sustainable, avoiding short-term fixes that introduce risk or technical debt.

What this delivers
in practice

Clients gain a clearer understanding of how site performance affects their business and what can be done to improve it.
Depending on the engagement, this may include:

Identified performance issues and priorities

Clear recommendations for improvement

Implementation support where required

Measurable improvements to speed and stability

The focus is on outcomes, not technical complexity.

When performance improvements
unlock growth

Site Speed & Performance Improvements is often the right focus when:

Conversion performance is under pressure

Sites struggle during traffic spikes or promotions

Pages feel slow or inconsistent across devices

Performance limits the impact of other optimisation work

It is particularly valuable for established eCommerce stores where incremental gains can have significant commercial impact.
