Speed isn't a vanity number. It's revenue.
Most UK business owners run PageSpeed Insights, see a red score, and have no idea what it actually means for their business. Here's what the research says, in real numbers, not generic statistics.
53%
of mobile site visits are abandoned if a page takes over 3 seconds to load
Google research
2.5x
higher conversion rate on sites that load in 1 second vs 5 seconds
Portent analysis of 100M+ page views
21.6%
lift in lead-gen funnel progression from just a 0.1 second mobile speed improvement

47%

Marketing Tech News, UK survey
Five things you'll know by the end of next week.
Most free WordPress audits are 30-second auto-generated PageSpeed screenshots with a sales pitch attached. This isn't that. It's a written manual review by a senior developer, with specific findings tied to your real site code. Genuinely free, genuinely useful, no obligation.
What's actually slowing your site down
Not 'optimise images' as vague advice. Specifically which images are unoptimised, by how much, and how to fix them. Same for plugins, scripts, hosting, theme code.
Why it matters for your business
Real numbers tied to your real situation. If your mobile speed is costing you N% of visitors, the report tells you N. Not generic statistics, your specific gap.
Three to seven concrete actions, ranked by impact
Each one specific to your site. Some you can do yourself or hand to your existing developer. Some need specialist work. Either way, you know what to ask for.
Honest verdict: optimise or rebuild?
Sometimes a site can be fixed with optimisation. Sometimes the foundation is too far gone and a rebuild costs less than 18 months of patches. The audit tells you which one applies to you.
Real PageSpeed targets and how to measure them
Real numbers, agreed key pages, mobile-first. So if you decide to fix it (with me or anyone else), you have a benchmark to measure against.

If you're wondering why this is free.
Most 'free audit' offers are a setup for a high-pressure sales call. This isn't. Here's the honest commercial logic:
- I'm a senior UK developer. My best clients are people who need a rebuild, not people who buy £199 audits.
- Doing one audit takes me 1-2 hours. If even a small fraction of audit recipients turn into rebuild clients, the maths works.
- Auto-generated audits are useless and they've poisoned the well. By doing manual audits and writing real reports, I differentiate from the scammy operators.
- If your site needs optimisation rather than a rebuild, the audit might tell you to do that yourself or with another developer. That's fine. I'd rather you trust the audit than feel ambushed.
- No follow-up emails unless you ask for them. No automated nurture sequence. You get the report, you do what you want with it.
New Covent Garden Market: speed and accessibility, done properly.
A WordPress site for one of London's largest wholesale food markets, where speed matters because most users land on a mobile device looking for opening times or stallholder info. The work involved tracking down performance bottlenecks, optimising images and scripts, and bringing the site up to WCAG accessibility compliance at the same time. The methodology I use for the free audit is the same one I'd use on your site.
