Pagespeed - the need for speed in a digital world

For online companies, a slow loading website can be disastrous. Poor page performance can cause significant issues affecting the overall customer experience.

The longer your page takes to load, the higher the chance that a customer will leave the site. As well as reputational damage, that poor user experience can result in fewer conversions and a loss of revenue.

Factors that affect performance constantly shift. This process is heuristic; changing based on the live data we obtain from companies we’re tracking. As such, we’re committed to updating and iterating our 35 criteria as we progress.
