Why Website Speed Matters
Users expect websites to load quickly, and studies show that even a 1-second delay can significantly reduce user engagement and conversions. Not only does a fast website provide a better user experience, but it also plays a vital role in SEO. Search engines like Google prioritize fast-loading websites, making speed optimization crucial for ranking higher in search results.
