Why Your Website’s Speed is Costing You Customers (And How to Fix It)
Did you know that 53% of visitors abandon a website if it takes longer than 3 seconds to load? In today’s fast-paced digital world, speed isn’t just a technical metric—it’s a critical factor in retaining customers, boosting conversions, and staying competitive. At White Raven, we specialize in turning sluggish websites into lightning-fast growth engines. Here’s what you need to know.
The High Cost of a Slow Website
1. Lost Revenue
Every second of delay can cost you 7% in conversions. For an e-commerce site making $100,000 daily, a 2-second delay could mean losing $2.5 million annually.
2. Poor SEO Rankings
Google prioritizes fast websites. Slow load times hurt your search rankings, making it harder for customers to find you.
3. Damaged Brand Reputation
Slow websites frustrate users. 79% of shoppers say they won’t return to a site with poor performance.
