How Fast is Your Website?

Speed matters! Why? The faster the page load, the better the visitor experience. Page speed is important to users and visitors because let’s face it…we are all impatient. If your pages load slow, customers are moving onto your competitor, especially when it comes to mobile.

There are many factors that determine website load speeds, such as:

The browser being used, i.e. Chrome, Firefox or the antiquated Microsoft Edge aka I.E. (sorry Microsoft)
The device being used, i.e. smart phone, tablet or desktop
The available Internet speed, i.e. 3G, 4G or 5G

All these factors affect the download speed of your website pages. However, it all boils down to this…

Speed matters in getting you top positioning on Google, and increases conversion rates of visitors.

Alert: Google Website Security Requirements

Is your small business website being flagged as “Not Secure” when visitors try to access it? If you don’t have an SSL Certificate, the answer is (or will be) YES.

Unfortunately, if your website does not have an SSL Certificate, Google and browsers will red flag it as “Not Secure.” This means that you will definitely lose visitors and potential customers every second of every day. And, if you don’t see the “Not Secure” yet, you most likely will by the end of this year.

Google and browsers will red flag websites without SSL Certificates as “NOT SECURE” and unsafe!
