Checklist: is your site speed hurting conversions?
Use this checklist to identify if your site speed is affecting conversions and learn how to improve performance strategically.
Checklist
01
Verify page load performance
Confirm that key pages load quickly on both desktop and mobile devices without noticeable delays.
02
Test interactive elements
Check that buttons, menus, images, forms, and other interactive components load correctly and respond immediately.
03
Review the mobile experience
Validate that navigation, readability, and responsiveness remain consistent across different mobile devices and screen sizes.
04
Inspect resource-heavy pages
Identify pages containing large images, excessive scripts, or other resources that may negatively impact loading performance.
05
Validate lead generation flows
Test forms and other conversion points to ensure submissions complete successfully without delays or failures.
06
Monitor performance continuously
Track loading speed, stability, and user behavior after updates to identify new issues and maintain consistent website performance.
You drive traffic, invest in content, and maintain an online presence—but conversions remain low. Often, the issue is not your offer. It is the experience. A slow website interrupts the user journey before it even begins.
This checklist helps you identify whether performance issues are already affecting your results and what to do next.

- Does your site take too long to load?
