sandgate.online loads faster with WebSpeed
Measured PageSpeed before and after WebSpeed optimization — no plugins, no migration.
Speed-up in Speed Index, taken from the weakest of the last checks of this page. A single check typically differs from the next by around 30%, so we quote the floor rather than the best or the average — and claim no speed-up at all if any of those checks did not show one.
From the measured LCP gain: −15.1 s on mobile.
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: −15.1 s on mobile.
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: −15.1 s on mobile.
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: ≈ 1.7 → 1.5 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.
Lighthouse recording of the original page under real mobile throttling. The right panel replays the same frames at the measured Speed Index ratio (4.6× faster).

Each number comes from one lab run. A script that ran after the run ended shows 0 ms.

PageSpeed scores are measured by Google PageSpeed Insights and are not guaranteed: they vary run to run and depend on network, device and third-party code. How to read this report
PageSpeed 53 → 68 on mobile, the screen fills at least 3.7× sooner on mobile and the main content appears in 5.0 s instead of 20.0 s on mobile.
Still on the site itself: the main image is not marked high priority, images are not in modern formats or sized to the screen, CSS or JS holds back the first paint, and 2 more — listed under “Already on this site” in Speed metrics.
