digiday.com loads faster with WebSpeed
Measured PageSpeed before and after WebSpeed optimization — no plugins, no migration.
Speed Index from a single check. Repeat checks of the same page typically differ by around 30%, so read the two times as a direction, not a precise multiplier.
From the measured LCP gain: −0.9 s on desktop.
Core Web Vitals are a Google ranking signal, but work as a “tiebreaker” — they matter most when two pages are roughly equal in relevance and content. The biggest SEO benefit comes from moving out of the Poor zone (score < 50).
From the measured LCP gain: −0.9 s on desktop.
Google / Deloitte (2019): 0.1 s improvement → +8% conversions in retail. Portent: each extra second of load time reduces conversion rate ~4%.
From the measured LCP gain: −0.9 s on desktop.
Based on Google data: pages loading in 3 s vs 1 s show ~32% higher bounce rate. Estimate scales proportionally to LCP improvement and is site-specific.
From the measured page weight: ≈ 1.9 → 1.6 g per visit.
Transferred bytes × ≈0.5 g of CO₂ per MB, a common average for networks and devices. The real figure depends on the hosting and the visitor’s connection.
Forecasts, not measurements: measured gains × published studies — tap any underlined label for the source.
PageSpeed’s own recording of the original page under desktop throttling. The right panel replays the same frames at the measured Speed Index ratio (1.5× faster).
