This isn&#8217;t the ONLY ranking factor but it is a very important one to consider as it not only has an influence on search engine rankings but also on user experiences (UX).<\/p>\n<p><strong>User Experience:\u00a0<\/strong>Also known as UX a better experience results in better performance of your website.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds obvious right? Yet many people fail to consider speed when looking at UX. If your website is slow or unresponsive though visitors will lose patience and use your competitors instead. Increase your speed to gain better UX and improve the conversion performance on your site (shopping checkout, email contact etc). As a bonus an improved speed should also attract more visitors through better rankings.<\/p>\n<h2>What could it be costing me?<\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s research out there suggesting a 1 second delay in page response can lead to a 7% reduction in conversions. <em><strong>So if you&#8217;re site takes \u00a31,000 per day it could cost you around \u00a325,000 per year!!<\/strong><\/em> Worth looking into getting the best response time possible.<\/p>\n<h2>What does Google think?<\/h2>\n<p>Visit:<a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/speed\/pagespeed\/insights\/\"> https:\/\/developers.google.com\/speed\/pagespeed\/insights\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>What if your site performs poorly?<\/strong><br \/>\nContact your web designer and see what improvements can be made to the site.
