How Much Will A Slow Website Cost You?
Consider this: Most visitors expect a website to load within three seconds. Studies show more than half of web users will leave and never return to a site that loads slower than that! According to Mashable,a one-second delay in loading time would cost Amazon $1.6 billion annually! On average, sites with a ONE SECOND LAG receive: 16% lower customer satisfaction, 11% fewer page views, and 7% loss in conversions.
