If your website takes more than a few seconds to load, you’re already losing leads. Speed matters—especially on mobile. But most slow sites suffer from the same three avoidable issues.

1. Bloated Themes

Many popular WordPress themes are overloaded with features you’ll never use. All those scripts and animations slow down your load time, even if you’re not using them. A lightweight, well-coded theme is always better than one that “does it all.”

2. Unoptimized Images

Uploading 5MB hero images is a silent conversion killer. Every photo should be resized, compressed, and served in modern formats (like WebP). Small changes here can shave entire seconds off your page speed.

3. Weak Hosting

Cheap hosting often means crowded servers and no performance tuning. If your site shares resources with 1,000 others, don’t expect it to run fast—especially under traffic. Hosting matters more than most people think.

Good hosting, however isn’t expensive. Dreamhost is a great host and their entry level VPS (Virtual Private Server) is very affordable.

If your site’s slow, your leads are leaving. Let’s fix it before they bounce.
