GetSpeed Field Note: Mobile Friction and Lead Loss

Mobile friction is a silent lead killer

Commercial buyers often check contractors between meetings, from job sites, or from phones after a referral. If the page is slow, hard to scan, or the CTA is buried, the buyer may never become a tracked lead.

• Pages need to load fast enough to keep intent alive.
• Phone and form CTAs should be obvious on mobile.
• Proof needs to be scannable, not buried.
• Technical issues create trust issues.

Common mobile problems

• Large images and scripts delay the first useful view.
• Navigation takes over the screen and hides the CTA.
• Forms are too long or awkward on phones.
• Important proof, locations, and service details appear too far down the page.

What GetSpeed should inspect

• Core Web Vitals and page weight.
• Mobile CTA visibility and tap targets.
• Above-the-fold clarity for service, market, proof, and next step.
• Tracking for calls, forms, CTA clicks, and source pages.

Mobile lead-loss audit

• Can a buyer understand the page before scrolling?
• Is the call/request path visible immediately?
• Do images support trust without slowing the page down?
• Can you measure mobile CTA clicks and form starts?
