Frequently asked questions
How fast should my site be?
Aim for Google's "good" Core Web Vitals thresholds, such as LCP within 2.5 seconds.
Will speed alone improve rankings?
It helps when speed is poor; content and relevance matter more.
Can you speed up WordPress sites?
Yes, usually through images, plugins, caching and hosting.
Limits and honest expectations
Search engines and AI assistants change their answers over time and no one controls them. Results vary by industry, city and competition, and we do not guarantee a position, a mention or a number of leads. We report what is measurable, plainly.
