How Website Speed Affects Your Sales (And How to Fix It)
Website speed isn't just a technical metric — it directly impacts your revenue. Research shows a 1-second delay reduces conversions by 7% and increases bounce rate by 11%.
Why Speed Matters for Indian Businesses
Many Indian customers are on mobile connections (4G, sometimes 3G). A slow website means lost customers before they even see your products.
How to Check Your Speed
Use Google PageSpeed Insights (free). Enter your website URL and you'll get a score from 0–100. Aim for 90+ on mobile.
Quick Wins
1. Compress Your Images
Images are usually the biggest culprit. Use WebP format and compress before uploading. Tools: TinyPNG, Squoosh.
2. Use a CDN
A Content Delivery Network serves your website from servers closest to the user. Cloudflare has a free plan.
3. Enable Caching
Browser caching stores static files locally so repeat visitors load your site instantly.
4. Remove Unused Plugins
Every plugin adds weight. Audit and remove anything you don't actively use.
5. Choose Good Hosting
Cheap shared hosting is the #1 speed killer. Use cloud hosting (Vercel, Netlify for frontend; DigitalOcean for backend).
