The Critical Role of Website Performance
In today's digital-first world, your website's performance directly impacts your business success. Studies show that 53% of mobile users abandon sites that take longer than 3 seconds to load.
Key Performance Metrics
- Page Load Time: Aim for under 2 seconds
- Time to Interactive: Users should be able to interact within 3 seconds
- Core Web Vitals: Google's ranking factors for user experience
Impact on Business
A 1-second delay in page load time can result in a 7% reduction in conversions. For an e-commerce site making $100,000 per day, this translates to $2.5 million in lost sales annually.
