Fix the largest bottlenecks first
Performance work should focus on the resources that block rendering or dominate transfer size. A measured audit prevents teams from spending time on changes that barely affect the user experience.

The decision
Website speed optimization is the process of reducing the time and work required to display useful content. The biggest gains usually come from image delivery, JavaScript reduction, font loading, caching, layout stability and better rendering choices rather than from one plugin.
Structure first. Visual polish with a reason.
Speed and visual quality can coexist
Responsive images, efficient formats, controlled video loading and careful font choices can preserve a premium design while reducing the amount of data a browser must process.
Scope signals
What the work needs to protect.
These requirements become review criteria, not decorative claims added after the design is complete.
Build only after the structure can survive production.
Before this becomes a scope.
01How does SiteGuys approach website speed optimization?+
We start with the business goal, search intent, proof requirements and conversion path, then design the page structure and development approach around those needs. The visual system stays consistent while the information architecture changes for the project.
02Will the website be mobile-friendly and search-ready?+
Yes. Responsive behaviour, semantic HTML, crawlable navigation, metadata, internal linking, sitemap output and performance-minded implementation are part of the website foundation.
03Can SiteGuys work with an existing website?+
Yes. We can redesign, migrate or improve an existing website when preserving useful content, URLs or search equity is more valuable than starting completely from scratch.
04Is the website review and quote free?+
Yes. A SiteGuys specialist reviews your needs and provides a free, no-obligation recommendation and quote. No deposit is required to request a review.
05How much does a website cost?+
A focused one-page website starts at $499 CAD. A typical five-page business website is approximately $1,499–$2,500 CAD. Larger projects are priced after we agree on the pages, content and features. Your written quote confirms the final price before work begins. Applicable taxes are additional. SiteGuys serves businesses in Canada and the USA. More pages, custom design, special features or moving an existing site can increase the price. Hosting, paid software and optional ongoing care are listed separately.
06Will I have a dedicated Project Manager?+
Yes. Every customer has a dedicated human Project Manager to coordinate planning, content, feedback, development, launch and handover. Optional ongoing support can be arranged separately.
07How do payments work?+
Under our standard payment option, after the written scope is agreed, 50% is paid in advance to begin. It is refundable if the agreed work has not begun and non-refundable once work begins, subject to applicable statutory rights. The final 50% is due after completion of the agreed scope and before launch, handover or release of agreed files and access. Easy monthly payment options are available. Ask us about a payment schedule for your project. For an agreed monthly plan, payment dates, launch and handover arrangements are set out in your written proposal.
08Do I own my website?+
The written proposal identifies ownership and transfer of the website, agreed source files, domain and accounts. Third-party software and licensed assets remain subject to their own licences. Optional care is not automatically required; any required service dependency is disclosed before approval.
