Users hate slow websites
in Building a Website, Website Advice29 Jan 2009 | 0 Comments
Do not underestimate how a slow loading website can affect its success. Not everyone has broadband and those who do expect sites to get faster each year. Statistics suggest that if a website doesn't load within eight seconds, around one-third of visitors will leave.
The need for a fast website emphasises the importance of cutting straight to the point and avoiding large image or video files that may look nice, but adversely affect the performance of your website.
Speak to your website developer about techniques to make your website load within a reasonable timeframe. It can be attractive to go for cheap hosting overseas, often in the United States, however be aware that you may be sacrificing the speed of your website, and therefore its success, for a few dollars per month.
