Speed Solution Scenario
A thriving local pest control company was seeing page load speeds of up to 6 seconds a page. We provided an audit, determined where to focus and started optimizing. The client was thrilled to see page load speeds under 2 seconds. If you pages are taking over 2 seconds to load, we would be happy to provide an audit to show you what kind of improvement is possible.
