Why a Slow Website Loses You Customers

Why a Slow Website Loses You Customers
Research shows: if a website takes more than 3 seconds to load, 53% of mobile users leave. That means half of your potential customers never see your offer.
The Main Causes of Slowness
- Unoptimised images — the biggest problem in 80% of cases. WebP format and lazy loading can cut load time in half.
- Too many scripts — every third-party plugin adds 50–300ms. Evaluate what's truly necessary.
- No CDN — if your server is in one location but clients browse globally, that adds 100–200ms of extra latency. A CDN solves this.
- No caching — caching static content can reduce load time for returning visitors by 80%.
What We Do for Our Clients
Every Velinx-built website includes by default:
- Automatic image optimisation — WebP conversion, correct sizing
- Core Web Vitals optimisation — LCP, FID, CLS targets
- Global CDN via Vercel Edge Network — worldwide delivery at no extra cost
- Next.js static rendering — pages are pre-generated, not rebuilt on every request
