4 Slow Loading Pages Will Drive Users Away & Affect Rankings
Web users are notoriously impatient. People
who visit your site will expect it load quickly. If it
doesn’t, they’ll find another site, instead.
Since “quickly” is a relative word, let’s talk about
what it means. One study found that 47% of
web users expect a site to load in two seconds.
Of those, 40% will navigate away if the site takes
longer than that to load.
You can test your site’s speed with Google’s
Page Speed Insights tool. If it’s too slow to load,
you’ll need to address the situation. Some things
that may affect your loading speed are:
> Poorly optimized images
> No Content Delivery Network (CDN)
> No caching plugin (WP Rocket is an example)
Minimizing your site’s loading speed will ensure
that mobile users won’t navigate away from
your site out of frustration.
