Why Page Speed Optimization Should Be Your Next SEO Project

Nov 4 Blog Header-01

SEO is essential to successfully using your website to drive online lead generation and sales, and one of the key technical elements impacting search results is the speed with which your website pages load.

In fact, optimizing load speed was the top-rated SEO tactic cited by more than 3,400 marketers in a recent survey by HubSpot about SEO and other marketing topics. (Download the State of Marketing 2020 – SEO Strategy mini-report for more insights from your peers.)

In addition to being a ranking factor for search engines, page load speed also plays a huge role in UX. How long are you willing to wait for a page to load? Survey says … “one thousand one, one thousand two … Time’s up!” Nearly half of all internet users expect pages to load in 2 seconds or less. Four out of 10 abandon your site if it takes more than 3 seconds.
