Speed as a growth lever

Slow marketing pages were costing us leads. Rebuilding them made them five times faster.

My role
Led the rebuild
Stack
React and Gatsby
Speed
5x faster pages
Cost
Lower cost per lead

The problem

Slow marketing pages were costing us leads.

What I did

  • Rebuilt on a modern stack. Led the rebuild of our paid-search landing pages in React and Gatsby.
  • Optimized speed and layout. Page-speed and layout optimizations on the paid-search landing pages.

What changed

  • Pages loaded 5x faster.
  • Conversion rose sharply, and the cost per lead dropped.

In my words

Speed is a feature.
