## The speed brief

- **Who arrives** — Someone who just decided to change something
- **What they want** — Class times, prices, and the join button
- **How long you get** — The length of one burst of motivation

## When speed decides the outcome

1. **The decision** — Motivation is a short window and it closes on its own.
2. **The timetable** — They want to know a 6am class exists before they commit.
3. **The signup** — January triples your traffic. That is the worst week to be slow.

## The story

Layla’s climbing gym lives and dies by two pages: the class schedule and the free-trial form. Members check the schedule daily on their phones; prospects hit the trial page from Instagram ads that cost real money per click.

Every January the resolution wave arrived and the site slowed to a crawl exactly when it mattered most. The schedule plugin queried the database on every view, for every member, for the same timetable.

Cached, the timetable serves from static HTML and rebuilds when classes change. The trial page — the one ads pay for — is prewarmed and paints instantly. January is now a revenue spike instead of a hosting incident.

## What a site like this needs

- **The schedule, instantly, daily** — The same timetable is viewed thousands of times between edits — the definition of cacheable.
- **Ad landing pages that convert** — Paid clicks land on the trial page; its speed is the campaign’s real quality score.
- **Survive the January wave** — Ten times the traffic on the same server — only static delivery absorbs that.

## The xSpeed features doing the work

- **Page cache + auto-purge** — The schedule serves cached and rebuilds the moment classes are edited. Guide: https://xspeedcache.com/docs/how-to-enable-page-cache
- **Cache prewarming** — The trial page and schedule stay permanently hot — paid traffic never takes a cold hit. Guide: https://xspeedcache.com/docs/scheduled-cache-prewarming
- **Delay third-party scripts** — Pixels and analytics load after the page — the ad click sees content, not a spinner. Guide: https://xspeedcache.com/docs/deferring-and-delaying-javascript

## The exact AI prompt

Connect via xSpeed MCP (https://xspeedcache.com/docs/mcp-server-setup) or xSpeed Hub, then paste:

```
Using xSpeed, get my gym’s site ready for peak season: cache everything, keep the class schedule auto-purging when edited, prewarm the schedule and free-trial pages so they are always instant, and delay ad pixels until interaction. Benchmark the trial page before and after — that’s where my ad spend lands.
```

What happens: The trial page paints before the ad platform finishes charging you for the click.

## FAQ

### Our schedule changes weekly. Will members see an old timetable?

No — the schedule page’s cache is purged and rebuilt automatically when it is edited. Members see the current timetable, served in milliseconds.

### Do we need this if January is our only busy month?

The January spike is when caching saves the site, but the fast trial page earns its keep every day you run ads — page speed directly affects how much of each paid click converts.
