A sluggish site can frustrate users and cost you money. Lower conversions, lost leads, and a damaged brand reputation are just the beginning. Find out why speed matters more than ever and the ways you can fix it before it damages your business.
Website load time refers to the time it takes for all the elements on a webpage (images, scripts, CSS, and other components) to be downloaded from the server and fully displayed in the user’s browser.
Every second counts.
Every delay costs you money.
Why Speed Matters?
Visitors are impatient, and they have options. Let’s talk statistics:
A 1-second delay in page response can lead to a 7% reduction in conversions.
Around 53% of users will leave a website if it takes more than 3 seconds to load.
Even a 100-ms delay in page speed can cost 1% of the sales.
Slow websites seem unprofessional and outdated, as users judge your brand in under 2 seconds.
Common Speed Killers are:
Large images or media
Bad hosting
Too many ads
Unoptimized code
High number of HTTP requests
No browser caching
Too many plugins
Missing CDN
How to Optimize Load Time?
