More Conversions

Fast websites convert up to 3× better. Every second less load time measurably increases revenue.

Better Google Ranking

Google has used Core Web Vitals as a ranking factor since 2021. Slow websites get penalized.

Lower Bounce Rate

40% of users abandon a website that takes longer than 3 seconds to load. Your competitors are happy about that.

Why is Next.js so much faster?

No magic — modern technology that Google loves.

01

Pages are pre-generated

Your website is fully rendered at build time — not when someone visits. The server delivers ready-made HTML instantly.

02

Images are automatically optimized

Every image is automatically converted to the best format, scaled to the right size, and only loaded when it becomes visible.

03

Only what's needed is loaded

Instead of loading all the website's code at once, only the code for the current page is loaded. This saves data and time.

04

Servers near your visitors

Your website is delivered through a global network — from servers closest to your visitors.

Frequently Asked Questions About PageSpeed

Why is my WordPress website so slow?
WordPress processes PHP code, database queries, and often 20+ plugins on every page load. Combined with uncompressed images and external scripts, load times reach 3–8 seconds. Modern frameworks like Next.js pre-generate pages and serve ready HTML — in under 1 second.
What are Core Web Vitals and why do they matter?
Core Web Vitals are Google's metrics for user experience: LCP (loading time of the largest element), INP (response time to clicks), and CLS (visual stability). Since 2021, they directly influence Google rankings. Poor scores = lower rankings.
How do I measure my website's PageSpeed?
Use Google PageSpeed Insights (pagespeed.web.dev) — enter your URL and get instant results for mobile and desktop. A score below 50 is critical, 50–89 needs improvement, 90–100 is good.
Can I make my existing website faster?
Yes, but it depends on the foundation. WordPress optimizations are limited: caching plugins, image compression, and CDN help, but the underlying architecture remains slow. For PageSpeed 90+, we recommend migrating to Next.js.
