Sub-1-second sites: the performance budget we ship against
Siddhant AryanLead Designer · AI AutomationSpeed is the feature users feel before any other. We treat performance as a budget set at the start of a project — not a clean-up task at the end when it's hardest to fix.
Set the budget first
Before design, we agree the limits: target load time, page weight, and Core Web Vitals thresholds. Every decision after that is measured against the budget, so nothing balloons unnoticed.
Images and fonts are where it's won or lost
Modern formats like WebP, right-sized responsive images, and disciplined font loading do most of the work. We've cut multi-second load times to under one by attacking these first.
Measure on a real phone, on real data
Lab scores flatter you. We test on mid-range devices and throttled connections, because that's where your customers actually are — and where slow sites lose the sale.
Key takeaways
- Set a performance budget before designing.
- Optimise images and fonts first.
- Test on real devices and real network conditions.
