5 reasons why website speed matters

Visitors are impatient — if a page does not load within two to three seconds, many of them leave.

1. First impression

A slow site feels unprofessional, no matter how beautifully it is designed.

2. Google rankings

Speed and Core Web Vitals are part of the Google algorithm. A faster site has an advantage in search.

3. Conversions

Studies show that every extra second of loading time reduces inquiries and purchases.

4. Mobile users

On a mobile connection the difference between a fast and a slow site is even bigger.

5. Ad spend

If you run ads, a slow site means you pay for clicks from people who leave before they see your offer.

The fix: optimized images, quality hosting, caching and clean code without unnecessary plugins.
