Why your landing page could be costing you a fortune

When you've invested time and budget into creating high-performing ads, dialled-in targeting, and an irresistible product or service – it's natural to assume the customers will flow. But here's the catch: if your landing page isn't built for mobile audiences, you're losing valuable conversions (and money) every single day.

The mobile-first reality

More than 80% of landing page traffic in 2025 comes from mobile devices, overtaking desktop for most consumer journeys. Yet many businesses still push their ads to slow, clunky and unoptimised pages. The consequences?

·      Long load times: Even a 1-second delay can drastically reduce conversions.

·      Clunky experiences: Pinching and zooming to find key information frustrates visitors.

·      High bounce rates: People simply leave if it isn’t simple and streamlined.

In short: without a fast, mobile-friendly landing page, every penny you spend on ads is working harder than it should – and struggling to deliver returns.

The critical role of page speed for conversions

The average landing page conversion rate across all industries in 2025 is 4.3%, but faster-loading pages - with load times under 3.5 seconds - can triple conversion rates compared to slower pages.

Other key facts reveal why this matters:

·      Nearly half of users expect landing pages to load within 2 seconds on mobile.

·      Pages with sub-4 second load times can see conversion rates as high as 12.9% in ecommerce.

·      Businesses with slow mobile pages risk losing up to 22% of conversions just due to poor performance.

Even the smartest ad targeting and strongest offers cannot make up for a poor landing page experience. Speed is money.

How Funnels and Quizzes Boost Engagement and Conversions

Beyond speed, engaging and personalised experiences are critical for turning leads into customers. Interactive funnels and quizzes offer:

• Guided journeys that make decision-making easier.

• Increased engagement with interactive questions that hold attention longer.

• Personalised recommendations that match products or services to users’ needs in real time.

Recent research shows quiz funnels convert between 30–50% of users who start, far outperforming traditional static lead forms which convert typically at 3–10%. A leading skincare brand more than doubled conversions with a quiz funnel, generating 16% of online revenue.

Key Traits of High-Converting Landing Pages

Top landing pages share:

• Simple, concise forms with ideally four fields/questions.

• Prominent and clear calls-to-action (CTAs).

• Mobile-optimised, fast-loading layouts.

• Personalisation elements like videos and testimonials that improve conversions by 86%.

Together with smart funnels or quizzes, these features enable better lead capture and segmentation, resulting in more qualified prospects and higher sales conversion.

Why great ads and products aren't enough

No matter how strong ad targeting or product quality, poor landing page experience undermines your success. Paid campaigns often convert at only 2–3% if landing pages lack optimisation. By contrast, email traffic with optimised landing pages can convert at nearly 20%. Speed, clarity and relevance are non-negotiable to hold attention and close the sale.
