PAGE SPEED OPTIMIZATION

There’s a Need for Speed – Page Load Speed

Page speed optimization is a thing. At this time and age, internet user doesn’t have the patience to wait for a page to finish loading. Almost half of these users (47 percent) actually expect a page to load within 2 seconds. After 3 seconds of waiting, 40 percent of these users will abandon the said page. A Google representative was even quoted saying that 2 seconds is the threshold of acceptable e-commerce page load speed. This isn’t just because Google says so. More than half of online shoppers consider an e-commerce site’s load speed as criteria for their continued patronage.

Your Page Load Speed May Be Slowing You Down

Customer dissatisfaction on slow page load speed isn’t actually limited to e-commerce. Travel sites also experience low sales conversion performance due to slow load speeds. Most of the time, customers may continue with their purchase and never return to the site; others would just abandon their cart and look somewhere else. This is bad news especially for highly competitive industries like e-commerce and travel.

The bad news doesn’t end there. The site’s load speed can also decrease the volume of website traffic, SERP ranking (page load speed is a Google ranking factor), increase the site’s bounce rate, and of course, decrease revenue. Overhead costs, especially for marketing can also increase since you’ll need to compensate for the decrease in sales conversion.
