5 Signs Your Website Is Hurting Your Business

Your website is your 24/7 salesperson. If it's slow, confusing, or outdated — it's turning away customers while you sleep. Here are the five warning signs we see most often.

1. It Takes More Than 3 Seconds to Load

53% of mobile users abandon a site that takes longer than 3 seconds. Check your site on PageSpeed Insights. A score below 70 is a problem. The most common culprits: unoptimized images, too many plugins, and no caching.

2. It Doesn't Look Good on Mobile

Over 60% of web traffic is mobile. If your site requires pinching, zooming, or horizontal scrolling on a phone — you're losing the majority of your visitors. Test it right now on your own phone.

3. Your Contact Form Sends to Nowhere

You'd be surprised how many contact forms are either broken or sending to an email nobody checks. If you haven't tested your form in the last 30 days, do it now.

4. You Can't Find Yourself on Google

Search your own business name + city or service. If you don't appear in the top 3 results, there's an SEO problem. This usually comes down to missing meta tags, no Google Business Profile, or thin content.

5. Visitors Leave in Under 10 Seconds

Check your Google Analytics bounce rate. If most people are leaving immediately, your homepage isn't answering the question: "Why should I care?" The hero section needs to communicate your value in under 5 seconds.
