How do I know if my website has a performance problem?

Run your site through Google PageSpeed Insights — it's free and takes 10 seconds. If your score is below 70, you have a problem. If it's below 50, it's urgent. Most e-commerce sites average around a 4.2-second load time on mobile, and only 43% of mobile sites pass Google's Core Web Vitals.

What's the difference between this and just running Lighthouse myself?

Lighthouse tells you what's slow. We tell you why it's slow, what's causing it, and exactly what to do about it — in priority order. Automated tools flag symptoms. We diagnose root causes and deliver a remediation plan your team can actually execute.

How long does the audit take?

Most audits are completed within two weeks of kickoff. The timeline depends on the size and complexity of your site. We'll scope it precisely during our discovery call.

Can you actually improve our score by 50+ points?

We consistently deliver 50+ point improvements for sites with significant performance debt. We took one client from 35 to 95 on Google PageSpeed. During our discovery call, we'll give you an honest assessment of what's achievable for your specific situation.

We Took a Client's PageSpeed Score from 35 to 95 in 3 Weeks

Your site is losing 12% of conversions for every second of load time. Most "performance fixes" don't work because they treat symptoms, not root causes. We fix the actual code. Trusted by Red Curtain Addict and The Wetlands Institute.

Why Your Developer's Performance Fixes Didn't Work

Most teams try: caching plugins, image compression, CDN. These fix symptoms. Not root causes. The real performance killers are render-blocking scripts loading before content, server response times adding 2–3 seconds before first pixel, JavaScript bundles blocking interactivity, and layout shifts from elements with no reserved space. We fix these in the codebase. That's why our scores jump 60 points, not 6.

Red Curtain Addict Case Study

Problem: PageSpeed score of 35, 6+ second mobile load times. Root causes identified: bloated third-party scripts loading synchronously, unoptimized server response times (TTFB >2s), render-blocking CSS and JavaScript, oversized hero image loading above fold, poor Core Web Vitals across all three metrics. Technical fixes: async/defer script loading strategy, server-side optimization and caching layer, critical CSS inlining, image optimization and modern format conversion, layout shift elimination through reserved space. Results: PageSpeed score went from 35 to 95 (171% improvement), LCP improved from 6.2 seconds to 1.8 seconds, 40% decrease in bounce rate, completed in 3 weeks.

Why JAM Creative

Proven results: we took Red Curtain Addict's PageSpeed score from 35 to 95 — a measured result delivered in three weeks. 15+ years building platforms that can't afford to be slow: our founder led digital product development for Six Flags (30M+ users, $1B+ in transactions), Samsung.com (global e-commerce rebuild), and Albertsons Pharmacies (1,720+ locations). We fix code, not just configurations: caching plugins and CDNs are table stakes. We dig into the actual codebase — render-blocking scripts, JavaScript bundle optimization, server response times, asset pipelines, critical rendering paths.

Every Day You Wait Costs You Money

53% of mobile visitors leave if a site takes more than 3 seconds to load. Conversion rates drop 4.42% for every additional second of load time in the first 5 seconds. A 0.1-second improvement increases retail conversion rates by 8% (Deloitte). Sites with good Core Web Vitals rank an average of 5–10 positions higher. Only 43.4% of mobile sites pass Google's Core Web Vitals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't I just run PageSpeed Insights myself? Yes. But PageSpeed shows you symptoms, not solutions. Our analysis tells you the 3 specific changes that will move your score 40+ points.

My developer already tried fixing this. Why would this be different? Surface fixes rarely work because they don't address structural issues. We diagnose at the codebase level — render-blocking scripts, bundle optimization, server response times. That's why our clients see 60-point improvements, not 6-point improvements.

How long does this take? Free analysis: 48 hours. Full implementation: 2–4 weeks depending on site complexity.

Do you work with WordPress / Shopify / custom platforms? Yes. We've optimized WordPress, Shopify, custom React/Next.js applications, and everything in between.

What happens after the audit? You get a detailed analysis with prioritized fixes. You can implement them yourself, have your team do it, or hire us. No obligation either way.
