Getting above 90 on Google Lighthouse isn't just about showing off green scores. It's about making your website faster, smoother, more trustworthy, and easier to find. In other words: it's about conversions. A high Lighthouse score means fewer people bounce, more people complete purchases, and your brand earns long-term trust.

We've all been there—waiting for a site to load, only to give up and hit the back button. That's exactly what your customers do when your site is slow, inaccessible, or throws up security warnings. Every second of delay or every small friction point is money lost. Lighthouse scores give us a clear way to measure and fix those problems before they hurt your business.

What Lighthouse Really Measures

Google Lighthouse is an auditing tool that grades your site across four key areas, from 0 to 100. A score in each area reflects how well you meet modern web standards:

• Performance – How fast your site loads and becomes usable (think Core Web Vitals, page speed, responsiveness).
• Accessibility – Whether people of all abilities can navigate and interact with your site (screen readers, contrast, keyboard navigation).
• Best Practices – The behind-the-scenes checks that signal trust and quality (HTTPS, secure scripts, optimized images, no broken code).
• SEO – The basics that make your site discoverable in search engines (mobile-friendliness, meta tags, structured content).

A site that's green in all four areas is fast, inclusive, secure, and easy to find. That's the kind of site users love—and the kind that converts.

Why Scores Above 90 Drive Conversions

1. Performance: speed is revenue

A site that loads in 1–2 seconds holds onto visitors. Stretch that to 5–6 seconds, and most of them are gone. Studies show conversions drop sharply with every second of delay. A fast site doesn't just avoid drop-offs—it encourages people to browse, trust the experience, and buy.

2. Accessibility: don't lock out customers

Over a billion people live with some form of disability. If your site isn't accessible, you're automatically excluding a huge audience. Missing alt text, low contrast, or broken keyboard navigation are all reasons shoppers leave. Fixing them not only opens your site to more people but also improves usability for everyone.

3. Best Practices: trust = completed checkouts

If your site throws up a "Not Secure" warning, visitors will never type in their credit card number. If a page feels broken or buggy, they won't risk completing a purchase. High Best Practices scores tell users your site is reliable and safe. That quiet confidence at checkout is what keeps carts from being abandoned.

4. SEO: more visibility, more chances to sell

Even the best site won't convert if nobody finds it. Lighthouse SEO checks make sure your site can be properly crawled, indexed, and displayed in search. Better rankings mean more qualified traffic—and more traffic means more conversions.

Putting It All Together

When your Lighthouse scores are low, it's like having holes in your sales funnel. Some users leave because of speed, some because they can't use the site, some because they don't trust it, and others because they never even find you in search.

When your scores are 90+, those leaks close. Visitors stick around, find what they're looking for, trust the site, and move smoothly through to checkout. It's not about chasing perfect numbers—it's about creating a seamless experience that turns visitors into customers.

If your site feels slow, inaccessible, or hard to find, you're not alone. Many businesses don't realize how much money they're losing to low Lighthouse scores until they see the numbers. The good news: fixing them is faster than you think.
