Your speed test scores and the yearly hosting cost, at no charge.
Headless CMS
Headless performance: fast HTML in front of a slow API
Headless means two bills and two waits for the server to answer. The API can be fine while the frontend still ships a 7 second LCP. We store ready-made pages close to visitors, slim down the front end, and keep the content system you already pay for.
The Headless performance audit is free. Typical website hosting is $150 to $500 a year. That is their invoice. When the public site does not need that host, you save up to $500 a year.

Why speed is worth it
Not just a cheaper host. More of the traffic you already have.
A snappy CMS dashboard does not help if the shopper waits 7 seconds for the hero. Headless speed is conversion on the public URL.
trending_up
Better conversion rates
A few extra seconds on a phone is enough for a form, demo, or purchase to never happen. Faster loading of the main content (called LCP) and a page that does not jump around give your offer a chance to be read and clicked.
trending_down
Lower bounce rates
If the first screen takes 6 to 8 seconds, many phone visitors leave before they see anything, and you never get a chance to win them back. Cut that wait and you keep more of the traffic you already paid for.
touch_app
More engagement
Visitors tend to stay longer, scroll further, and open a second page when the site works in the first two seconds. People who can tap, tap.
ads_click
Ads you already buy work harder
Google Ads and Meta charge you for the click either way. A faster landing page means more of those clicks turn into leads, instead of going straight back to the search results or the feed.
search
Search keeps the ranking you paid for
Core Web Vitals (Google's speed and stability checks) are one of the signals Google uses to rank pages. A fast, steady page is easier for Google to read and less likely to lose the click after it ranks.
savings
Plus the yearly hosting cut
Typical website hosting is $150 to $500 a year. When the public site is pages plus a form, origin can go to $0. Save up to $500 a year on top of the conversion work.
Keep more of the clicks you buy
Paid visitors stop leaving while the page is still blank.
More forms and carts complete
Your offer is on screen while the visitor still wants it.
People stay long enough to read
Visitors scroll and open a second page instead of hitting the back button.
Proof you can screenshot
Test scores on the same pages, plus the bounce rate and conversions you already see in Google Analytics.
What slows Headless
The usual drag on Headless sites
speed
Pages that still wait on a slow content system every time someone visits.
image
A front end that loads its content in the visitor's browser instead of ahead of time.
javascript
Media from the CMS at original size.
cloud_off
Two regions: CMS in one, frontend in another, no cache in between.
How we help
Headless speed work we actually do
1
Pages built ahead of time, or stored on servers close to visitors, for your public pages.
2
The API serves the last saved copy while it refreshes in the background, so editors can still publish.
3
An image network (CDN) in front of your content system's media.
4
Hosting: typical public origin we see is $150 to $500 a year. We keep the CMS. We stop the frontend from being a second slow origin.
Headless specifics
Built for this platform, not a generic speed plugin
Frontend is the LCP
The CMS dashboard can be fast while shoppers wait 7 seconds. We put published content in the HTML.
Keep the CMS
Sanity, Contentful, Strapi, or WordPress as an API. Editors keep preview. We do not sell a new CMS to start.
ISR and cache
Publishing refreshes only the page that changed. Preview settings never turn off the fast copy that shoppers get.
Yearly hosting
Typical public origin we see is $150 to $500 a year. Save up to $500 a year when shopper HTML is cached or static and the CMS stays for editors.
How a job runs
Four steps. Faster pages, more of the clicks you already pay for.
01
Free audit
Send the URL. In about 48 hours you get lab scores, bounce risk on the URLs ads hit, what you pay the host, and what to cut. $0.
02
Fix in staging
Images, scripts, cache, and the cheap cuts first. You preview. Nothing is live until you say so.
03
Prove it
Mobile and desktop PageSpeed on the same URLs. Then you compare bounce and conversions in the analytics you already have.
04
Cut the yearly bill
If the public site is pages plus a form, live-site origin can go to $0. Save up to $500 a year. Mail stays until you cancel.

Headless performance FAQs
Is the headless audit free?expand_more
Yes. $0. Typical public origin we see is $150 to $500 a year.

Do we have to go static?expand_more

Will you replace our CMS?expand_more
Not unless you ask. We keep the CMS you trained editors on.
Does speed actually lift conversions and cut bounce?expand_more
Speed does not rewrite a weak offer. It stops the offer from dying in the first seconds. Faster loading of the main content (LCP) and less page freezing (TBT) usually mean fewer people leave and more forms, calls, or purchases from the same traffic. We show lab scores. You watch bounce and conversions in GA4. We do not invent a lift percentage.
