December 2, 2020

That’s right! It’s now THREE TIMES FASTER than before.  Let’s dig into why this is important and what it means for your store!

Site Speed Matters

Research shows that 70% of customers base part of their decision to hit that BUY button on how fast the pages load. Just one second longer than they expect, and that sale could be gone. Many companies have done studies to see exactly how much site speed affects their conversion rates. 

• • • Walmart’s study – Conversions increased by 2% for every 1 second improvement in load time
    • COOK’s study – When page load time reduced by 0.85 seconds, conversions increased by 7%
    • Mobify’s study – For every 100ms of improved load time, conversions increased by 1.11%

When your website takes too long to load, you lose customers. That’s why our engineers have been hard at work to improve your site speeds. Here are a few other benefits you’ll find with your speedier sites!

• • • Lower bounce rates
    • An increase in purchases
    • Better conversion rates
    • SEO benefits
    • Improved user experience
    • Improved load time on images
    • Better customer retention
