Why is website loading speed important?
1. Ease of use
The faster the site pages load, the more pleasant and convenient it is for users to interact with them.
2. Behavioral factors
Slow loading speed of web pages can cause users to leave the site, which is a negative behavioral factor in ranking sites in search engines.
3. Positions in search results
The loading speed of a web page directly affects its position in search results.
4. Visitors and sales
It has been experimentally proven that accelerating website loading speed leads to an increase in the number of pages viewed by users and an increase in sales for commercial websites.
How fast should website pages load?
This refers to the time from the moment a request is made to the site until the web page is fully displayed in the browser.
Up to 5 seconds
Comfortable download speed for most users.
From 5 to 10 seconds
Acceptable download speed, but not always and not for everyone.
More than 10 seconds
Most people won't wait for such a site to deign to load.
How to check website loading speed?
