Why is website speed important for my Bournemouth business?

Website speed is crucial for user experience and SEO. Slow websites lead to higher bounce rates (visitors leaving), lower conversion rates, and poorer rankings on search engines like Google. A fast website keeps users engaged and improves your online visibility in Bournemouth and beyond.

What does website maintenance involve?

Website maintenance typically includes regular backups, security scans and updates (WordPress core, themes, plugins), performance checks, uptime monitoring, and minor content updates. It ensures your website remains secure, fast, and functional.

What is responsive web design and why do I need it?

Responsive web design ensures your website automatically adjusts its layout and content to fit any screen size, from desktops to smartphones. It's essential because many users browse on mobile devices. A responsive site provides a good user experience for everyone, improves SEO (Google prioritises mobile-friendliness), and increases conversions.

How can you make my existing website faster?

I improve website speed through various techniques including image optimisation (compression, modern formats like WebP), code minification (CSS, JS, HTML), implementing browser caching, setting up Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), and advising on server/hosting improvements.

Do I need ongoing maintenance after my website is built?

Yes, ongoing maintenance is highly recommended. Websites require regular updates to stay secure from evolving threats and compatible with new browser versions. Neglecting maintenance can lead to security breaches, slow performance, or broken features over time.

Can you make my non-responsive website mobile-friendly?

Yes, in most cases, I can adapt an existing website to be responsive. This might involve modifying the theme's code or, in some situations, recommending a theme update or redesign for the best results. Contact me to discuss your specific site.

Website Speed Optimisation in Bournemouth, Poole & Dorset

How I Improve Your Website Speed

I use advanced techniques to slash loading times, making your website faster and more efficient:

🖼️ Image Optimisation

Large images slow down your site. I use compression, lazy loading, and next-gen formats like WebP to improve speed without losing quality.

🚀 Caching & CDN Setup

Caching reduces load times by storing copies of your site. I also integrate Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to serve your website faster worldwide.

⚙️ Minifying & Optimising Code

Heavy code slows performance. I minify CSS, JavaScript & HTML, ensuring only essential scripts run for faster response times.

🖥️ Server & Hosting Optimisation

The right hosting and server settings significantly impact speed. I provide recommendations and optimisations tailored for performance.
