Website Speed Optimisation for architecture practices

Speed optimisation finds what makes pages slow for real visitors and fixes it, measured against Core Web Vitals. For architecture practices, that means getting project galleries, design process and project types right, because homeowners, developers and commercial clients want to make a project enquiry without hunting for information.

What your customers are trying to do

Homeowners, developers and commercial clients want to make a project enquiry.

A architecture practice website usually has to handle project galleries with the brief and outcome, project enquiries with site and brief details, sharing drawings with clients and design and process guides.

Project galleries with the brief and outcome: clients choose architects largely on past work.

Project enquiries with site and brief details: early details show whether the project is a fit.

Sharing drawings with clients: large files and revisions are easier to manage in a shared space.

Design and process guides: explaining stages and costs early builds trust.

Frequently asked questions

What does Website Speed Optimisation involve for a architecture practice?

Speed optimisation finds what makes pages slow for real visitors and fixes it, measured against Core Web Vitals. For a architecture practice, the work centres on project galleries, design process and project types.

What are Core Web Vitals?

They are measures of loading (LCP), responsiveness (INP) and visual stability (CLS). web.dev publishes the thresholds for a good experience.[1]

Why does our site score well in tests but feel slow?

Lab tests use one device and connection. Field data from real visitors can differ, and low-traffic sites may not have field data at all.[2]
