The importance of fast load times- and how to check yours.
Your website’s speed isn’t just a nice-to-have — it directly affects your visitors’ experience and your business success.
Why speed matters:
User Experience – Slow sites frustrate visitors. If a page takes more than a few seconds to load, many people leave before seeing your content.
Conversions – A faster site means more inquiries, sign-ups, or sales. Every second counts.
SEO – Google favors websites that load quickly, so a slow site can hurt your search rankings.
How to check your site speed:
Google PageSpeed Insights (pagespeed.web.dev) – Type in your URL to see scores and improvement suggestions.
GTmetrix (gtmetrix.com) – Gives detailed performance reports and recommendations.
Pingdom Website Speed Test (tools.pingdom.com) – Quick, visual results of load time and performance grade.
Bottom line: A fast website keeps visitors happy, improves conversions, and helps your SEO. Checking your speed is quick and easy — and small tweaks can make a big difference.
