In 2025, your website is more than just a digital business card; it’s your 24/7 sales representative and often your first impression with customers. If your site is slow, outdated, or difficult to update, it could be costing you clients without you even realising it.

Here are 5 signs, and how MCG Computers Australia can help improve performance, UX, and security.

1. Your Website Takes More Than 3 Seconds to Load

Google recommends a page load time of 2.5 seconds or faster. Sites that take longer than three seconds lose more than half of their visitors before they even see the content. Slow websites impact not only user experience but also search engine rankings.

Optimising images, reducing scripts, and using caching can dramatically improve load times. You can check your site’s speed and get improvement suggestions with Google PageSpeed Insights (it’s free and takes less than a minute).

2. Poor Mobile Experience

Mobile now accounts for over 65% of global web traffic. If your site isn’t mobile-responsive, or buttons are too small to tap, you’re likely losing potential customers. Implement a mobile-first design that adapts seamlessly to different screen sizes.

3. Your Design Feels Outdated

This year’s trend emphasises minimal layouts, dark mode options, and micro-interactions. If your site hasn’t been updated in three or more years, visitors may perceive your business as behind the times.

4. Updating Content is Difficult

A website that requires a developer to update every image or text is slowing down your marketing efforts. A modern content management system (CMS) allows your team to make updates quickly, improving agility and engagement.

5. Security Warnings or Outdated Technology

Seeing “Not Secure” warnings or using outdated software can damage credibility and SEO. Hackers increasingly target old CMS versions, expired SSL certificates, and unpatched software.

Regularly update your website platform, install SSL certificates, and monitor for vulnerabilities. Learn more about web accessibility and security at WCAG Guidelines.

A website should evolve with your business, not hold it back. Regular updates improve performance, security, and customer experience.
