The performance of websites has always been critical. A well-performing website improves the user experience a lot. This translates into your audience coming back, staying longer and converting a whole lot better. A better performing site usually also appears higher in the search results because the indexer is having less problems with it. Also, mobile and smart devices have become so significant today that a website cannot afford to work at snail\u2019s pace and without the proper optimizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We – as a bug tracking tool – have seen many issues on websites which not only killed the website performance, but also lead to unhappy users and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why it matters!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your customers will abandon your website in a blink of an eye as soon as they get the slightest feeling things are going slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To illustrate: In 2007, Amazon.com reported that for every 100 millisecond increase in loading time of their website their sales declined by a whole percentage point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doing an analysis of what typically happens, Strangeloop Networks (now Radware), found that 57% of your visitors will abandon a site after waiting 3 seconds for a page to load<\/strong>. Of these, 80% will not return and 40% will even spread the news and let everyone know how bad your website performs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes it obvious that no matter the size of your company, you\u2019d better not overlook website performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to start?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are a lot of factors that could impact a website\u2019s performance. It could range from simple things that have an easy fix like for example having a too small amount of server memory installed. Sometimes, it\u2019s out of your hands and the sheer amount of people visiting your website might be bringing your server to its knees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But then, there are smaller, seemingly insignificant things like the size of your images. Or even the way the website is designed. It happens pretty often that the inclusion of a simple app on the website ruins the entire experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, according to the \u201cend user\u201d, what\u2019s a good online experience then?<\/strong> Let\u2019s take a look:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
