How fast does your website open? The speed with which your home page loads creates a good impression with website visitors. Everyone loves a snappy website.
At some point or another we have all experienced visiting a website which seems to take forever to load. You have to literally wait for several minutes before the text appears and you get any information. Slow loading websites can be very frustrating for a website visitor. Many of your website visitors will leave your home page before it even loads. This is known as a bounce rate. Slow loading websites have a very high bounce rate. This is not good for your website ranking.
The speed with which a website opens is important for many reasons. Websites that take a long time to load are backlisted by search engines.
A slow loading website could be due to several factors.
- The design of your website and each individual webs page
- The graphics are very high resolution
- Imbedded graphics and videos
- The background and general design of your website
To prevent potential customers from leaving your website you need to improve your website speed. As soon as someone clicks on your website link it should open up immediately. An attractive home page makes a visitor want to see more of your website.
