Website performance is the speed at which your website loads and responds to user input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the advent of artificial intelligence and instant gratification from social media, modern internet users aren\u2019t used to waiting. If they chance upon your site and encounter a delay in loading speed, they\u2019ll likely just leave and find another site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take Amazon as an example. In 2012, the e-commerce giant calculated that a one-second delay could cost them $1.6 billion in sales annually. Google did similar calculations and found that a delay of merely four-tenths of a second in their search results could make them lose 8 million searches daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
