Full (Website) Speed Ahead

Full (Website) Speed Ahead

(Warning: failure will be revealed!)

As a web and consulting professional, I take a lot of pride in creating the best possible solution for our clients.

Today, I'm going to talk about that pink elephant in my mental "room" - Website page load speed!

In the back of my mind, I knew there was an issue. But I kept telling myself - oh, I've added X or I've updated Y and those things will help.

Except... they didn't. The sites were slow. Some were very very slow.

In the first hour after migrating to a better, faster, more secure host, the sites are loading in less than 3 seconds. (I'd have to label my previous mindset as epic fail!) I don't want to admit how long it took them to load earlier. It was more than 5 seconds. Fine - a couple of them took 10 seconds! Eeek!

Did I mention that I'm thankful for our new web hosting company?

Do you need a website checkup? Are your customers bouncing from your website because it is too slow? I absolutely hate the idea that I'm wasting my website visitors' time with slow page loads!

I'm happy to report that our customers no longer have that issue thanks to a new partner relationship with Flywheel. Phew!

It is so important to check all points of contact with the client. One's website is a huge one. Thanks for sharing your process!

You remind us to view business and the customer experience from every angle to facilitate as many positive encounters as possible ... it's all in the smallest of details that we may not even consider. Great points, Kelly!
