Is your website fast enough?

Does your website load in three seconds or less on desktop, tablet AND mobile? 
In today's day and age, speed is king.  Your website is no different.  It’s gotta be speedy. According to information from Kissmetrics, 47 percent of consumers expect a web page to load in two seconds or less, and 40 percent of people abandon a website that takes more than three seconds to load.

What are the culprits that cause a slow website?
Site speed killers include...

• Excessively large images (don't be fooled, check file sizes not dimensions)
• Inefficient coding
• Too many external calls to applications and scripts not located on your server (talking to you, Wordpress)
• Slow loading website platforms
• Insufficient bandwidth 

Many times it's the combination of these culprits that bring your website to a screeching halt for your visitors.  Website design and development is an art form full of tradeoffs in function, visuals, and performance.  It is your web designer's responsibility to guide you through this process and help you understand the pros and cons of each component of your site. 

Your website is the lifeblood of your online presence.  It is your digital storefront either screaming at people to come in or run for the hills!  Don't leave this to chance and send potential customers next door to your faster and sleeker competition.
