Google Says My Website Is Slow
You ran your website through Google PageSpeed Insights or received a warning in Google Search Console that your site is slow. Your performance score might be in the red (under 50) or orange (under 90), and Google is penalizing your site in search results because of it.
A slow website doesn't just hurt your Google ranking — it drives away visitors. Studies show that 53% of people leave a website if it takes more than 3 seconds to load. If your site takes 5-10 seconds, you're losing more than half your potential customers before they even see what you offer.
AI-built websites are often slow because the AI prioritized making things work over making things fast. It may have loaded huge libraries, uncompressed images, or unnecessary code that drags your site down.
Error Messages You Might See
PageSpeed Insights score: Poor (0-49)
Largest Contentful Paint too slow
Cumulative Layout Shift too high
First Input Delay too long
Core Web Vitals: Failed
Common Causes
- Huge uncompressed images — Photos straight from a camera can be 3-10MB each. A single page with several images can take forever to load
- Too many JavaScript libraries — The AI tool loaded dozens of large code libraries even though your app only uses a fraction of their features
- No caching set up — Every time someone visits your site, their browser downloads everything from scratch instead of remembering what it already loaded
- Heavy fonts loading — Custom fonts can add 500KB-1MB to your page load, especially if multiple weights and styles are loaded
- No lazy loading — All images and content load at once even if the user hasn't scrolled down to see them yet
- Slow hosting — Your hosting server responds slowly or is located far from your users
How to Fix It
- Compress your images — Use a free tool like tinypng.com or squoosh.app to shrink images by 60-80% without visible quality loss. Use WebP format if possible
- Check your PageSpeed score — Go to pagespeed.web.dev and enter your URL to see your score and specific recommendations
- Enable lazy loading for images — Add loading="lazy" to image tags so images below the fold only load when the user scrolls to them
- Reduce JavaScript bundle size — Have a developer audit which libraries are loaded and remove ones that aren't actually needed
- Set up caching headers — Configure your hosting to tell browsers to cache (remember) files so returning visitors load instantly
- Consider a CDN — A Content Delivery Network serves your site from locations closer to your users, speeding up load times worldwide

Alvin Voo
I’ve watched the tech landscape evolve over the last decade—from the structured days of Java Server Pages to the current "wild west" of Agentic-driven development. While AI can "vibe" a frontend into existence, I specialize in the architecture that keeps it from collapsing.
My expertise lies in the critical backend infrastructure: the parts that must be fast, secure, and scalable. I thrive on high-pressure environments, such as when I had only three weeks to architect and launch an Ethereum redemption system with minimal prior crypto knowledge, turning it into a major revenue stream.
What I bring to your project:
Forensic Debugging: I don't just "patch" bugs; I use tools like Datadog and Explain Analyzers to map out bottlenecks and resolve root causes—like significantly reducing memory usage by optimizing complex DB joins.
Full-Stack Context: Deep experience in Node.js and React, ensuring backends play perfectly with mobile and web teams.
Sanity in the Age of AI: I bridge the gap between "best practices" and modern speed, ensuring your project isn't just built fast, but built to last.

15+ years shipping production infrastructure for startups. Former CTO at qed.builders (acquired by The Sandbox).
Cursor ambassador and agentic tooling builder.
I've scaled systems, automated deployments, and built observability tools for AI coding workflows. I specialize in taking vibe-coded apps from broken prototype to production-ready: fixing Supabase auth/RLS, Stripe integrations, deployment pipelines, and cleaning up AI-generated spaghetti.
I build tools in this space (agentprobe, claudebin, micode) and understand both sides: how AI generates code and why it breaks.

Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
Does website speed really affect my Google ranking?
Yes. Google officially uses page speed as a ranking factor. Since 2021, Core Web Vitals (speed and user experience metrics) directly impact where your site appears in search results. Faster sites rank higher, get more visitors, and convert better.
What's a good PageSpeed score?
A score of 90-100 is excellent, 50-89 is okay but could improve, and below 50 needs immediate attention. Most AI-built sites score 30-60 without optimization. Even getting from 40 to 70 can noticeably improve your search rankings and user experience.
