Is your website fast enough? Are you losing customers?

Is your website fast enough?

When you’re doing business on the web, every second counts. More than ever, your website’s performance matters.

The average online shopper expects your pages to load in two seconds or less, down from four seconds in 2006; after three seconds, up to 40% will abandon your site. And performance pressure just keeps growing.

To drive more sales and boost brand image, today’s websites are increasingly dependent on sophisticated technologies such as shopping tools, interactive games, and videos that attract attention, hold interest or move visitors toward your virtual shopping cart. But if the technology behind the marketing vision creates delays or fails to work properly, watch out — your visitors may quickly abandon your site and run to the competition.

Read this white paper, Is Your Site Driving Customers Away?,  from our friends at GOMEZ to learn more about industry research identifying the business impact of Web performance and learn how you can leverage. You will need to register before downloading the report.
