Question 1

Why is my website so slow?

Accepted Answer

WRITE: 2-3 sentences. The real reasons: shared hosting throttling under load, WordPress loading plugins for every page request, unoptimised images, and render-blocking JavaScript. Plain language, no jargon. Not 'here's how to fix it' — just the diagnosis.

Question 2

Does website speed affect my Google ranking?

Accepted Answer

WRITE: 2 sentences. Yes — Google uses Core Web Vitals as a direct ranking signal since 2021. A slow site ranks lower and also converts worse. Both things are true simultaneously.

Question 3

How fast should my website load?

Accepted Answer

WRITE: 2 sentences. Under 3 seconds is the threshold where most users will wait. Under 1 second is what modern static sites achieve. Frame this as a contrast: what most sites do vs what's actually achievable.

Question 4

Can I fix my slow website without rebuilding it?

Accepted Answer

WRITE: 2-3 sentences. Honest answer: sometimes yes (image optimisation, removing unused plugins), often no (if the problem is the platform or the host). Lead to the free audit CTA — 'the fastest way to know is an audit.'
