Our Client’s Challenge

The client’s site struggled with speed and discoverability, which significantly reduced online visibility and organic traffic. Slow load times and poor SEO visibility led to:

  • Google Core Web Vitals score of 34/100

  • Site failing to appear on page 1 for key product search terms

  • 53% of mobile visitors abandon after 3 seconds

  • Limited conversions and declining organic traffic


The Problem’s Business Impact

This poor performance had real business consequences:

  • Lost revenue from slow site speed and high bounce rates

  • Limited visibility in search results

  • Competitive disadvantage in a saturated DTC market

  • Exposure to potential accessibility-related legal risks
