performance-watch
Just ask yourself how many times you’ve abandoned a website because it took too long to load. If your own website is poorly performant then it might not even get a chance to shine; the user will simply give up when it fails to respond in an appropriate time frame. Not only does this mean less traffic to your own business, but it could be driving traffic to your competitors business. Lets take a look at some performance statistics:
79% of online shoppers say they won’t use a website again if it loads too slow
44% of your website users will tell their friends about a bad online shopping experience
40% of potential customers will leave your site if it takes longer than 3 seconds to load: if your store has 50,000 visitors per month and takes 4 seconds or longer to load, that’s a loss of 20,000 potential customers, every month

A good example of why website performance is important is a study Amazon performed that showed they would lose $1.6 billion every year if they slowed down by just a second. This is poor website performance in a nutshell – put succinctly, poor website performance can seriously damage your online business. Lastly, website speed and performance is now used as part of the Google page ranking algorithm. Having a poorly performant site will negatively effect where you sit in the Google page rankings.
First impressions count for a great deal - make sure you get the edge and never lose traffic with a super-fast website
