We rebuilt Hargreaves Electrical on the View St strip from a 6.1-second crawl to a 1.2-second load — and watched their quote requests climb. Run the race below and see the gap for yourself.
This is the real measured difference between the old Hargreaves Electrical site and the version we shipped. Hit the button and time it yourself.
⏱️ The fast lane finishes ~4.9 seconds sooner. On mobile, that's the difference between a quote request and a back-tap.
Lighthouse is the exact audit Google runs against your site. Scroll the gauges into view and watch them climb from "failing" to "fast".
Green is 90+. Google uses these scores as a live ranking signal — a fast site outranks a slow neighbour for the same Bendigo search.
Speed isn't vanity — it's revenue. Drag the sliders to your numbers and see what a slow load quietly costs every month.
Based on Google/Deloitte data: bounce probability rises ~32% from 1s→3s and ~90% from 1s→5s. We assume a 3% enquiry-to-job rate. Illustrative, not a guarantee.
A typical slow Bendigo trade site, broken down:
Edge-cached static pages, auto-compressed AVIF images, zero plugin bloat, critical CSS inlined. Result: 1.2s on the same phone.
Left: the cluttered, pop-up-riddled old site that takes 6 seconds. Right: the clean LLS rebuild your customer actually sticks around for. Drag the handle.
The fast version is also the simpler one. Clean beats clever — for both your customer and Google.
"Our old site took forever and people just bounced. The new one snaps open instantly — we're getting quote calls off the website for the first time ever."
"I didn't realise how much slow loading was costing us until LLS showed the bounce numbers. New site loads before you can blink. Worth every cent."
"Went from page two of Google to the top three for 'electrician Bendigo'. The speed fix did what two years of the old web guy couldn't."
