If your website isn’t delivering leads, sales, or search rankings like it should, it might be time to take a step back and give it a hard, honest look. A slow, confusing, or outdated website can quietly sabotage your business—even if your product or service is top-notch.
Let’s break down the biggest performance killers and how to fix them.
1. Speed Is Everything
You’ve got maybe 3–5 seconds before your visitor bounces. If your website takes too long to load, they won’t stick around to find out what you do.
✅ Optimize images
✅ Use fast, reliable hosting
✅ Leverage caching and a CDN
✅ Fix bloated themes or plugins
Website speed isn’t just about user experience—it’s also a major Google ranking factor.
2. Can Visitors Tell What You Do—Immediately?
When someone lands on your homepage, they should know within seconds:
- What your business is about
- What problem you solve
- How to take action
Your headline and visuals need to answer the visitor’s biggest question:
“What’s in it for me?”
3. Is Your Design Helping or Hurting You?
Looks matter. If your website still feels like it was built in 2010, it can send the wrong message—especially if your competitors are rocking sleek, modern designs.
- Does your site feel current and credible?
- Is it mobile-optimized and responsive?
- Do your pages look professional, or do they look DIY?
Your website is your storefront. Make it count.
4. How’s Your Navigation?
Confused visitors don’t convert. A clear, simple menu and breadcrumb structure helps users find what they need—and keeps them engaged longer.
A few key tips:
- Limit top-level navigation to 5–7 items
- Highlight your CTA in the menu
- Make it obvious where the user is at all times
Great navigation isn’t just good UX—it also supports your SEO.
5. Are You Speaking Your Visitor’s Language?
Your content should focus on them, not you. Rewrite anything that starts with “We” into “You.”
For example:
- ❌ We offer high-quality plumbing services.
- ✅ You get reliable, same-day plumbing without the hassle.
And every page should end with a clear call to action: What should the visitor do next—call, buy, book, or get a quote?
