Page speed monitoring for small business websites

Learn when your website becomes slower, so speed issues do not quietly frustrate visitors, reduce enquiries or damage confidence.

Why slow websites quietly cost businesses customers

A slow website can still look live, but any delay can make visitors doubt your business.

Slow pages lose visitors very quickly

People rarely wait around for a sluggish page. If your site takes too long to load, people leave.

Speed issues can creep in slowly

Images, scripts, hosting changes, and third-party tools can all slow a site down gradually
