Why Mobile Website Speed Matters for Local Enquiries
Most local searches happen on a phone, often while someone is out and about in Redhill or Reigate. If your website is slow, they will leave before they ever contact you.
Why speed affects enquiries
Mobile users are impatient. A delay of more than a few seconds feels like an age. Slow sites create frustration, lower trust and reduce the chance that someone fills in a form or makes a call.
Google and mobile speed
Google uses mobile page speed as a ranking factor. Faster sites tend to rank better, especially on mobile searches. That means speed is not just a user issue — it directly affects how many Redhill customers find you.
How to speed up your site
Compress and resize images, use clean code, choose fast hosting and avoid unnecessary plugins or heavy animations. A simple site built with care will usually be much faster than a bloated one.
How to test your speed
Use Google’s PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix to see how your site performs. These tools also give specific suggestions. Aim for a mobile load time under three seconds for the best results.
If your site is slow, a redesign may be the fastest way to fix it.
