If your site takes more than 3 seconds to load, more than half your visitors are already gone.
That’s not a guess. *53% of mobile users abandon a site that takes longer than three seconds to load. And the ones who stay? The same research found a 0.1-second improvement in load time increases e-commerce conversions by 8.4%.
Your site’s speed isn’t a technical detail. It’s a revenue number.

I have worked with Paul since he first started the company, and have never looked back. For some people, there may be cheaper alternatives in India; there may be specialists out there for narrow areas of expertise; but you really can't beat Murmur8 for bespoke responsive-based designs to back-end systems development and integration... Pretty much the full package at a very reasonable rate.

Knowledgeable and fast
Paul is our 'go-to' code man. Totally under estimating the complexity of building a website even with templates. Paul stepped in 'understood our needs', advised and got things running more efficiently and smoothly in no time. We are very happy and are looking forward to working with Paul for the foreseeable future on our current and future projects.

Great work - I would recommend without hesitation
Not only did Paul deliver a great site at the front end, but he can also organise the back end that provides the lead information etc. Great communication and quick work even when I kept asking for changes.

A slow website is usually the result of decisions made during the build. Common causes include bloated themes, unused plugins, unoptimized images, JavaScript frameworks loaded unnecessarily, and inefficient database queries. Every unnecessary kilobyte costs time.
According to a Google-commissioned Deloitte study, 53% of mobile users abandon a site that takes longer than three seconds to load. The same research found a 0.1-second improvement in load time increases e-commerce conversions by 8.4%.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. If the slowness is caused by inefficient code, unoptimized queries, or heavy images, we can fix those without rebuilding. If the site is built on a bloated framework or theme that was never designed for performance, a rebuild done properly from the ground up may be the only lasting fix. We’ll tell you honestly which situation you’re in.
Common causes include: bloated WordPress themes, unused plugins, unoptimized images, render-blocking JavaScript, inefficient database queries, lack of caching, slow hosting, too many HTTP requests, and third-party scripts. Most slow sites aren’t slow because of the connection - they’re slow because of how they were built.
