According to Google's Best Practices, your website should load within 3 seconds or less. Consequently, lengthy website load times can result in increased bounce rate. For example, one study found that a 9-second increase in page load time increases mobile bounce rate by 123%. On top of that, speeding up your website can improve the user's experience, improve your search rankings, and increase your overall conversion rates.
Now more than ever, it's important to make your website better. The key to doing so lies within finding the right host. Here's how you can do so:
- Decide what type of hosting services you need.
- Make a list of every feature your website needs.
- Compare pricing & features offered by competing hosting providers.
- Take advantage of website hosts offering free trials.
- Choose a host and start building your website.
After you've picked the right website host and configured your plugins and theme, it's time to begin a series of performance tests. When doing so, make sure you have installed and configured optimization plugins. Furthermore, consider using AMP for mobile experience, and use a CDN (Content Delivery Network) to load images faster.
