These days, visitors expect the page to “appear” within three seconds and the faster your website, the more engaged the visitor will be. Plus, speed is now something that Google tracks in its ranking algorithms, therefore a slow or poorly performing website will have a detrimental effect on your search engine rankings.
Taking this on board we’ve become obsessed. Aiming for perfection each time, here are few of our latest speedy sites we are looking after:
