Hi,
I have my eCommerce website with just 60 product pages. But the website is a little bit slow and, the page speed is also low. Just wondering, does page speed is a big deal for the ranking in Google? If yes, then how to improve this?
Page speed is important for all users, as well as SEO. Because the faster pages are more efficient and provide a better on-page user experience. If a page takes longer than 3 seconds to load, over a quarter of users will click away and choose a different search result.
To improve and boost the speed of an e-commerce site, you can use the following ways.
- Use a Content Delivery Network
- Avoid Redirects
- Limit the page size
- Reduce HTTP requests
- Investigate poor performance
- Specify Image Dimensions
- Compress Data
- Use Fast Hosting Servers
