Page Speed Revenue Loss Calculator

Model how a difference in page speed could affect a revenue scenario. The calculator assumes a 7% conversion-rate change per second; it does not test your site or predict actual sales.

Page Speed Revenue Loss Calculator

Explore a scenario using an illustrative 7% reduction in conversion rate for each additional second. This fixed assumption does not measure your visitors or lost sales.

How to check your real load time

  • PageSpeed Insights, Google's own tool, shows Core Web Vitals.
  • WebPageTest, more detailed waterfall view.
  • Google Search Console → Core Web Vitals report, shows real-user data from your actual visitors.

Common causes of slow sites

  • Oversized images.
  • Too many plugins (WordPress especially).
  • Render-blocking JavaScript and CSS.
  • Heavy third-party scripts (chat widgets, analytics, retargeting tags).
  • Slow server response.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 7% assumption mean? +
This calculator uses a fixed illustrative assumption: each extra second reduces the conversion rate by 7%, compounded. It is not an industry average or a measurement of your website. Compare actual visitor and conversion data before deciding what a speed improvement is worth.
How should I check my actual performance? +
Use PageSpeed Insights and the Core Web Vitals report in Google Search Console to inspect real-user experience where data is available. A page-load estimate alone does not explain how your own visitors convert.
Where should I start improving speed? +
Inspect the page first. Oversized images, unused scripts, font loading, cache settings and server response can all matter. Prioritise the bottleneck shown by a performance trace and compare before and after under the same conditions.
Will a hosting upgrade fix it? +
It can help when server response is the bottleneck. Image weight, scripts and other front-end work may require separate changes. Measure the cause before choosing an upgrade.
