If you’ve ever clicked on a link, waited…and waited…only to give up and close the tab-you understand why speed matters.

Yet page speed is still one of the most overlooked parts of user experience. For many business owners and creators working with AI, no-code tools, or building out their digital presence, it’s easy to assume speed is a technical issue. Something to optimize “later.”

The truth is: site speed has a direct impact on how people experience your product, how trustworthy your brand seems, and how much revenue you bring in.

⚡ Fast pages retain attention. Slow ones lose it.

From my years in web and mobile development, here’s what I’ve seen:

• A 1-second delay can reduce conversions by up to 20%
• Google considers speed in your SEO rankings
• The faster the page, the lower the bounce rate, and the more engagement you generate

What’s more, you don’t need to be a technical pro to make speed-focused improvements.

Here are 4 simple things any site or app owner can do:

• Compress your images. Free tools like TinyPNG or Squoosh can shrink large image files without visible quality loss.
• Use “lazy loading” for media. This means loading content only when a user scrolls to it-increasing speed without cutting content.
• Minimize bloated add-ons. Many no-code tools rely on plugins and embeds. Audit which ones are really essential.
• Use built-in page speed tools. Google’s PageSpeed Insights gives a free score and step-by-step recommendations. Many no-code platforms like Webflow or Bubble also have their own.

The bottom line? Faster doesn’t just mean better tech. It means happier users, better brand perception, and clearer business results.
