The Need for Speed: Why Website Performance Matters

Did you know that 47% of users expect a website to load in two seconds or less? And if your site takes three seconds or more, you could lose 40% of your visitors before they even see your content.

But it’s not just users who care about speed—Google does too. Page speed is a key ranking factor, meaning slower websites are more likely to get pushed down in search results, reducing visibility and potential traffic.

Is Your Website Fast Enough?

Test your site’s speed right now using this free tool: Pingdom Website Speed Test

👉 Run two tests: One on your homepage and another on an inner page.

What’s a Good Speed Target?

• Media-heavy pages (lots of images or video): Aim for 2 seconds or less
• Text-heavy pages (blogs, articles, landing pages): Aim for 1 second or less

If your site isn’t hitting these benchmarks, speed optimization is crucial—not just for rankings, but for user experience and conversions.
