How to Track Page Load Time for Wedding Planners
Your wedding website showcases beautiful events. Couples planning their special day expect an elegant, fast experience. A slow website creates a bad first impression during one of the most important decisions of their lives.
Page load time measures how quickly your website displays fully. For wedding planners, this impacts inquiry rates and venue partnerships.
Why Page Load Time Matters for Wedding Planners
-
Expectations are high: Couples invest heavily in weddings. They expect your website to reflect that same attention to quality and detail.
-
Portfolio showcase: Your wedding galleries must load instantly. Couples want to see your work immediately, not wait for images to appear.
-
Vendor connections: Venue pages and vendor partnerships should load fast. Slow pages frustrate couples researching options.
-
Mobile planning: Most couples research vendors on phones. A slow mobile site loses inquiries quickly.
How to Check in GA4
- Open GA4 and go to Reports > Engagement > Web Vitals
- Find Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) in the metrics
- Filter by wedding portfolio and vendor pages
