Why Your Landing Page Is Killing Conversions - Even If Your Creative Is Good
One extra second of load time can cost you more conversions than a weak creative.
It's simple: someone clicks your ad and waits.
If your landing page takes too long to load, they're gone.
You've already paid for the click, but the user never even sees your offer.

It's simple: someone clicks your ad and waits.
If your landing page takes too long to load, they're gone.
You've already paid for the click, but the user never even sees your offer.
According to Google, when page load time increases from 1 to 3 seconds, the chance of a bounce goes up by 32%.
What you should check first:
• First screen load time - under 2 seconds
• Server response time (TTFB) - under 800 ms
• Page size - under 1 MB
• LCP - under 2.5 seconds
What usually slows down a landing page:
• Heavy images
• Too many scripts and tracking pixels
• Video above the fold
• Multiple redirects
• Slow hosting
• No CDN
How to fix it:
✓ Convert images to WebP or AVIF
✓ Enable lazy loading
✓ Use a CDN
✓ Minify CSS and JavaScript
✓ Load third-party scripts with async and defer
✓ Remove anything your landing page doesn't really need
And one more thing: don't test page speed on your laptop over Wi-Fi.
Test your landing page on a mobile device, using mobile data, and from your target GEO.
Sometimes the best way to improve your CR isn't launching a new test - it's making what already works load faster.
