Susan – Independent IT, Hosting and Broadband Provider

Susan provides the “Best” hosting known to humankind and wants to find her perfect clients across any industry but within 20 miles of her base in Denver.

Scanning a couple of hundred sites per day in various industries Susan uses the technology Bit to identify those websites on a Linux host that are using Apache as a web server or are on a PHP 5.6 version or lower.

Susan then uses the Page Speed Bit to check that the sites are not already loading in under the 3 second or less times she knows she can achieve on her platform.

Knowing that by moving them to her hosting platform they will see an immediate speed boost due to her use of Nginx and PHP 7.2 Susan provides a free trial of 1 month with a guaranteed 20% speed improvement.

Chad – Full Service agency

With a background in hosting sales Chad is most comfortable having Page Speed data to hand when calling potential clients.

Although his main targets are around new website sales and marketing Chad has a very simple sales process which starts with a call to the client to ask why the website is so slow to load. Knowing full well that this will likely push the potential clients buttons and drive dissatisfaction with their current provider.

Brad always runs a full scan with every bit to get as much data as possible but concentrates on websites he finds that have both slow load speeds and he also likes to get the SSL tests as a combination filter as he gets a bonus when he does an SSL upsell.
