Is your site secured with an SSL? It better be! Here’s why
I’ve been saying this over and over for at least 2 years. SECURITY SECURITY SECURITY This is your business right? You wouldn’t leave the front
I’ve been saying this for years!!!!
Almost all websites I test score less than 70% out of 100% usually are in the 50% or less. I offer a 85% guarantee or better with most of my packages.
YES, site speed matters a ton! Not only does Google reward you for a faster site, so do your visitors by coming back.
Living in a world of instant gratification, users don’t want to wait and Google doesn’t want to show a slow site. You will lose out on sales and traffic.
To help show you what I mean, I have gathered info from numerous sources including Neil Patel that are the authority in this area. And these guys know the business.
“Google will reduce the amount of crawlers it sends to your site if your server is slower than two seconds.”
You don’t want that AT ALL… And who doesn’t want a site that loads quickly? I sure certainly don’t wait around..
Don’t take my word on it. Let the data do the talking.
According to 2018 research by Google, 53% of mobile users leave a site that takes longer than three seconds to load.
The same research says the average mobile site takes more than 15 seconds to load. Don’t be THAT guy!
More and more people are realizing this so now is the time to beat them all out and be the ahead of the curve. Because we know, that every second you are slower is more customers and conversions lost. Time really is money.
Google rolled out a new page speed update to their algorithm in July 2018. Making speed a critical factor for higher SERP.
There are many things you can do.

Cache is essentially memory. Instead of making the round trip back to the server to get the info, it stores it for quicker response.
I don’t recommend using the shared hosting companies like Bluehost, Hostgator or goDdaddy. Their shared hosting is extremely bloated and there’s a reason it’s so cheap. Utilize a great hosting solution. I see an average of 1 second drop off just by switching a client to our hosting solution. 1 SECOND!!!!!

Reduce the file size as much as possible. Why try and move large files. It takes longer to load and it also creates more bandwidth on your server slowing you down further.
