Web Performance Test http://www.cohesivewebdesigns.com
Why should you conduct a web performance test?
At Cohesive, we want to make sure that our clients have cohesive websites that load as fast as possible. There are a few reasons why you need to test your website speed and make sure that your site is loading fast:
How A Web Performance Test Can Affect Visitor Retention or Conversion Rates
Your website visitors (who are mostly potential clients) will not stay around waiting for a website to load. There are plenty of other fast-loading website out there the serve up the same information, products and services. To make sure that your competition doesn't capture your customers, make sure you don't give them a reason to leave your website.
Google Loves A Fast-Loading Website - Use This Web Performance Test To Your Advantage
Search engine optimization isn't just about optimize everything on a page such as meta tags and image alt tags. You should also pay attention to the off-site elements such as site load time. Google does. Google actually factors in site speed in the ranking equation and, all things equal, if your competitors site loads faster...they will probably rank higher than you in the search engines.
How A Web Performance Test Can Generate More Revenue
If you are selling products online, the difference in a sale on your website could simply be 0.5 seconds in load time. A while back, Marissa Mayer of Google shared some very compelling research results at a Web 2.0 conference. In essence, she stated that an additional delay of 0.5 seconds to page-load time caused a 20% drop in traffic. Think about 20% less customers and 20% less sales. It makes a difference.
What is the best tool to test my website's performance?
