Page Speed

Definition

How quickly a web page loads fully for a visitor. Measured in seconds or Core Web Vitals scores.

Why it matters

A 1-second delay in page load reduces conversions by 7%. Google uses page speed as a ranking factor. Slow sites lose sales and SEO ground simultaneously.

Example

Your product page loads in 4.8 seconds on mobile. Using compressed images and a CDN, you reduce it to 1.6 seconds. Your mobile conversion rate improves by 12%.
