When it comes to creating a good WordPress website for your business, there are plenty of aspects to factor in, like the overall design, search engine optimization, content, and a range of other elements. But most importantly, you\u2019ll need to consider your site\u2019s performance.  Performance issues vary \u2013 at best, they cause delays that are only slightly annoying<\/strong> to your visitors; at worst, they make your website completely inaccessible and unresponsive<\/strong> to user input. It\u2019s important to note that any performance issue, big or small, can cost you a fortune<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Research shows that the attention span of human beings is at eight seconds<\/strong>, which is even lower than the ill-focused goldfish whose attention span sits at nine seconds. And as it turns out, consumers will only wait for about three seconds for a site to load<\/strong>, after which they\u2019ll abandon the site to the next best option. Dynatrace<\/a> research revealed that just a half-second difference in the load times of a page could make a 10% difference in sales<\/strong> for an online vendor. But still, sites around the globe have been getting slower over the past year, not faster, despite the increase in connectivity speeds.<\/p>\n

What This Means<\/b><\/h2>\n

In today\u2019s fast-paced world, consumers expect nothing but fast and reliable online user experiences from all sites. They are not about to waste a single second on a page that seems to take forever to load. With so many options available in the palm of their arms, and constant distractions online, they won\u2019t think twice about bouncing to your competitor.<\/p>\n

The shortening attention spans are not just making consumers check their phones like a hundred times each day; they\u2019re also making them impatient when it comes to waiting for a site to load. According to a report by KiSSmetrics<\/a>, 47% of consumers expect a page to load in two or fewer seconds<\/strong>, and 40% leave a site that takes more than three seconds to load. Not to mention, 40% of online buyers say they will never go back to a slow website \u2013 and you know what that means for your business.<\/p>\n
