The service
You spend money on Google Ads. The clicks come in. They land on a 7-second-loading homepage and 60% bounce before they even see your offer. That’s not a marketing problem — that’s a speed problem.
We focus exclusively on the speed metrics Google and your customers actually feel: Largest Contentful Paint, Cumulative Layout Shift and Interaction to Next Paint. Plus the basics — image weight, server response, render-blocking resources.
We test on real SA mobile networks throttled to LTE speeds, not on a developer’s gigabit fibre. The numbers we promise are the numbers your customers will actually see.

Who this is for
Sites bogged down by Elementor, Divi or too many plugins.
Rankings stuck because Core Web Vitals are failing.
Sites where 70%+ of traffic is mobile and bounce rates are climbing.
Where every 0.5s of load time directly costs you ad budget.
Photographers, e-commerce, restaurants — anyone with lots of visuals.
Sites flagged by SEO audits or marketing managers as ‘too slow’.
How we work
We’ve stripped out the agency theatre. You’ll always know what’s happening, what’s next, and what we need from you.
Run PageSpeed, GTMetrix and Lighthouse on key pages. Identify your top 5 bottlenecks.
Convert, compress, lazy-load and properly size every image — usually 40–60% of the win.
Move to better SA hosting if needed. Set up page cache, object cache and CDN.
Defer JS, inline critical CSS, optimise fonts, remove unused code from plugins/themes.
Targeted fixes for LCP, CLS and INP — the hardest 10% that wins the rankings.
Re-test, document the wins, and set up monitoring so the speed doesn't regress over time.

Two reasons: SA mobile networks aren't as fast or stable as Europe or the US, so a slow site loses customers fast. And Google uses Core Web Vitals (speed metrics) as a direct ranking signal — slow sites rank lower, get less traffic, and convert worse.
Aim for 90+ on Google PageSpeed Insights mobile, with LCP under 2.5s, CLS under 0.1, and INP under 200ms. We typically get sites to those numbers within 1–2 weeks of focused work.
Most SA sites we audit are loading in 6–10 seconds on mobile. We routinely get them to 1.5–2.5s — a 3–5x improvement. Bigger gains are possible on really bloated sites.
No — we work on staging first, test every page and form, and only push live once everything's verified. We also keep a backup so we can roll back instantly if anything misbehaves.
Usually 3 culprits in SA: huge unoptimised images, too many plugins (especially page builders), and bad hosting. We fix all three in every engagement, plus deeper work on caching, code splitting, fonts and third-party scripts.
Yes — measurably. Every 100ms of load time delay drops mobile conversion by ~7% (Google's own data). Most SA sites we speed up see conversion lifts of 20–60% just from the speed work alone.
