If your website takes forever to load, chances are visitors are bouncing before they even see what you have to offer. That’s where page speed comes in. At Logic Web Media, we help businesses like yours not just get found online, but make sure your site delivers a fast, smooth experience that keeps visitors engaged—and converts them into clients.
Let’s break down what page speed is, why it matters, and how we can help you improve it.
What is Page Speed?
Page speed is essentially how quickly a webpage loads and displays all its content to a user. It’s measured in seconds, but not all “seconds” are created equal. Faster websites make happier users and happier users are more likely to convert.
Performance Markers
When we talk about page speed, we’re looking at several markers, including:
- Time to First Byte (TTFB): How long it takes for the browser to receive the first piece of information from the server.
- First Contentful Paint (FCP): How long it takes for the first visual element (like text or an image) to appear on the screen.
- Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): How long it takes for the main content of the page to load.
- Total Blocking Time (TBT): How long the page is unresponsive while loading scripts.
- Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): Measures visual stability—like when content jumps around as it loads.
Common Performance Issues
Some common things that slow down websites include:
- Large image files that aren’t compressed
- Too many plugins or scripts running at once
- Unoptimized code (like JavaScript, CSS, or HTML)
- Slow server response times
- Excessive redirects that make users wait
At Logic Web Media, we identify these issues and streamline your site so visitors get what they need—fast.
Page Speed vs. Site Speed: What’s the Difference?
A lot of people use “page speed” and “site speed” interchangeably, but there’s a subtle difference. Page speed measures how quickly a single page loads, while site speed refers to the average speed of all pages across your entire website. Both matter because slow pages can drag down the overall experience, frustrate visitors, and even impact your search engine rankings.
Think of it like this: page speed is like checking how fast one car drives on a road, while site speed is the average speed of the entire fleet. A single fast car is great, but if the rest are slow, the overall experience suffers. In the same way, having one optimized page won’t fully protect your site’s performance or SEO if other pages lag behind.

How to Check Your Page Speed
What is Google PageSpeed Insights?
Google PageSpeed Insights is a free tool that evaluates how quickly your pages load on both desktop and mobile devices. But it doesn’t just stop at measuring speed—it provides a detailed breakdown of several key metrics that give a comprehensive view of your website’s overall health and performance.
Here’s what PageSpeed Insights measures:
- Performance: This is the core score that measures how fast your page loads and becomes interactive for users. It looks at metrics like Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Contentful Paint (FCP), Total Blocking Time (TBT), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS). A higher performance score means your pages are loading quickly and providing a smooth experience.
- Accessibility: This score evaluates how easily all users, including those with disabilities, can access your content. It checks elements like color contrast, text size, and proper use of ARIA labels to make your site more inclusive.
- Best Practices: This category ensures that your website is following modern web standards and security practices. It looks for issues like outdated libraries, proper HTTPS usage, and avoiding harmful requests that could slow down or compromise your site.
- SEO: PageSpeed Insights also checks if your site follows essential SEO best practices. This includes proper meta tags, mobile-friendliness, structured data, and other factors that can influence how well your pages rank in search engines.
By analyzing these metrics, PageSpeed Insights doesn’t just tell you that your site is slow—it tells you exactly what areas need improvement. At Logic Web Media, we use this tool as part of our SEO and technical optimization strategy to make actionable improvements that increase speed, usability, and search performance.

What is a Good PageSpeed Insights Score?
Scores range from 0–100. Here’s a general guideline:
- 90–100: Excellent
- 50–89: Needs improvement
- 0–49: Poor
While a perfect score isn’t always necessary, higher scores usually mean faster, more optimized websites—which users and Google love.
Why is Page Speed Important for SEO?
Fast-loading pages directly affect your search engine rankings. Google’s algorithms prioritize sites that deliver content quickly and efficiently, especially on mobile. Slow websites risk losing visibility, clicks, and conversions.
How Do PageSpeed Insights Scores Affect SEO?
Scores from PageSpeed Insights give a clear picture of your technical SEO health. Pages with low scores may rank lower in search results because Google sees them as less user-friendly. By improving your score, you improve the chances that your site will perform better in SERPs, increase organic traffic, and enhance user experience.
Why Do You Need Technical SEO?
Technical SEO is all about optimizing your website’s infrastructure so that search engines can crawl, index, and rank your pages effectively. Speed is a big part of this. Without a technically sound website, even the best content might not reach its audience. Logic Web Media specializes in the technical side of SEO, from page speed to structured data, ensuring your site not only looks good but performs like a pro.

About
the Photo
Title: NACA Photographer Films a Ramjet Test
Date Created: 10/1/1946
Location: Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory
NASA ID: GRC-1946-C-16086
Image Description (as written on the NASA website):
A National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) photographer films the test of a ramjet engine at the Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory. The laboratory had an arsenal of facilities to test the engines and their components, and immersed itself in the study of turbojet and ramjet engines during the mid-1940s. Combustion, fuel injection, flameouts, and performance at high altitudes were of particular interest to researchers. They devised elaborate schemes to instrument the engines in order to record temperature, pressure, and other data. Many of the tests were also filmed so Lewis researchers could visually review the combustion performance along with the data.
The photographer in this image was using high-speed film to document a thrust augmentation study at Lewis’ Jet Static Propulsion Laboratory. The ramjet in this photograph was equipped with a special afterburner as part of a general effort to improve engine performance.
