Does Your Website Page Load Slowly?

 

Having a slow page will negatively affect your SEO as site speed is a critical Google ranking factor.

 

A slow site load could be the result of several issues including bad hosting, too many items to load eg, photos etc, large sized items to load, JavaScript issues and unclean code.

 

If your page doesn’t load in the time a user expects it to, it will negatively impact their user experience and they may even abandon your site altogether.
