If your website hasn’t had a proper update in a few years, chances are it’s quietly sabotaging your growth. Today’s customers are ruthless with slow, clunky, outdated sites. In just 3 seconds, you’ve either earned their trust — or lost them for good.

Here’s the harsh truth

  • Google found that 53% of mobile users leave if a site takes more than 3 seconds to load
  • A 2023 Portent study showed that 80% expect it in 2 seconds or less
  • In 2024, Contentsquare reported that bounce rates increase by up to 30% per extra second
  • A Clutch survey ranked slow loading as a top trust-breaker
  • Google’s Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) are ranking factors — because speed = trust
  • AI-driven competitors are pulling ahead with smarter, faster websites

Sound familiar? It’s time for a rethink.

At Codeguys, we don’t just build beautiful websites — we build conversion machines. Every click, scroll, and tap is designed to guide your customer towards action. Don't let a slow website drive away potential clients. Modern users expect lightning-fast experiences; even a second's delay can drastically increase bounce rates and plummet conversions.

5 Signs Your Website Needs Help

  • It’s not mobile-first (but 70%+ of traffic is)
  • It looks the same as it did in 2019
  • You’re not ranking on Google — even locally
  • It’s unclear what you actually offer
  • You have no idea how many visitors convert

If any of these made you wince — you're not alone. Businesses across Chester, Liverpool and Manchester are rapidly modernising, and we’re helping lead the charge.
