Did you ever wonder how your website speed might affect your business? Well it does, now more than ever!
People love fast sites. The number one search engine business in the world – Google – well they are big fans of speed too.
In fact, Google likes blisteringly fast sites so much it is preparing to move to what it is calling a ‘mobile first‘ index throughout 2017.
“Website or Site Speed” is a major ranking factor in google’s famous algorithms for page indexing.
Now that Google is determined to focus on ranking sites based on their mobile experience, the time is upon businesses to REALLY focus on delivering the fastest DESKTOP and MOBILE friendly experience you can achieve, without compromising on site aesthetics or quality.
Because if you DO NOT, your competition will, and Google will rank those pages above your own, in time. It might not happen overnight, but trust us it will happen in the next few months!

Disappointed with your websites scores?! We guarantee you also put designaid.ie through the Google speed test! We hope you were suitably impressed with our scoring!!
Nearly half of web users expect a site to load in 3 seconds or less, and they tend to abandon a site that isn’t loaded within 4 seconds. Around 60% of web shoppers who have trouble with web site performance say they won’t return to the site to buy again and around 40% of them would tell a friend if they had a poor experience shopping online.
This means you’re not just losing conversions from visitors currently on your site, but that loss is magnified to their friends and colleagues as well. The end result – lots of potential sales down the drain because of a few seconds difference.
