Is Your Website Slow?

If your web pages are taking a long time to load, you could be negatively impacting your business in several ways. To maximize on your traffic and sales potential, you’ll have to pay attention to page speed and performance. Understanding how it applies to important aspects of your website design will play a key role in maximizing your outcome. Here are a few important areas regarding your website design and page speed :

  1. User Experience –
    If users have to wait, they’ll leave. Simple as that.
  2. SEO (search results) –
    Google is now factoring in page speed in their search results (“algorithm”). Content needs to be clear, relevant, informative, and fast!
  3. Optimization –
    If your website is not optimized for page speed or your hosting configuration is sub-standard, there are some improvements to be made!
