# Why is your website slow — and how to speed it up for mobile visitors in Iraq

> Most slow sites suffer from uncompressed images, too many plugins and scripts, heavy fonts, and weak or distant hosting. Measure on mobile with PageSpeed Insights, focus on LCP (main content paint) and CLS (layout stability), then compress images, remove what isn’t needed and use a CDN.

## Why speed matters

Most visitors arrive on mobile over networks of varying quality. A page that takes seconds loses visitors before they see your offer, and Google uses speed signals among its ranking factors.

## A practical checklist

- WebP or AVIF images sized per screen
- Lazy-load below-the-fold images
- Remove unused plugins and scripts
- Few font weights with immediate text display
- Good hosting and a CDN
- Fixed image dimensions to prevent layout shift

## Frequently asked questions

### What LCP should I target?

Under 2.5 seconds on mobile is “good” by Google’s thresholds; lower is better.
