mobile usage & Website Speed

In the digital era, speed is not just a luxury - it's a necessity for modern websites and applications. A staggering 56% of online users, as of September 2023, are accessing websites through their mobile devices.¹ This evolution of digital habits isn't just a passing trend, but an indication of where the future is heading and where business need to be moving towards. Now, more than ever, if your website doesn't load fast and perform exceptionally on mobile devices, you risk losing out on more than half of your potential customers and exposing yourself to conversion rates two to three times lower than if your customers were interacting with a fast site.

Research indicates that Google, the world's leading search engine, is increasingly prioritizing speed in its ranking algorithms. The search giant aims for a page load time of less than three seconds. Yet, the reality for many websites is far from this ideal. The average load time on mobile devices hovers around a staggering 15.3 seconds.² This discrepancy leaves a vast chasm between user expectations and their actual online experiences, resulting in countless lost conversion opportunities.

To further put this into perspective, consider this: 47% of customers expect a web page to load in two seconds or less.³ The impact on conversion rates is even more profound. The conversion rate can plummet to less than 0.6% if the load time reaches or exceeds 5.6 seconds. That's an alarming statistic that could potentially translate to thousands, if not tens of thousands, of dollars in lost revenue.⁴

Crunching the Numbers

Let's delve into a practical example to illustrate the significance of site speed based on initial paint (load) time per research conducted this year. Picture two websites, Site A and Site B, both attracting 1,000 viewers last month with a product/service that profits $50 when sold/booked. However, Site A loaded in a swift 1 second with an average conversion rate of 3%, while Site B lagged behind at 4.5 seconds with a conversion rate of 0.6% like in our example above with our competitor's site. The result? Site A managed to convert 30 customers, while Site B mustered only 6 conversions. Site A is nearly 5 times more likely to convert and allowed that company to generate $1,200 more in revenue as a result of using our website due to the load time being significantly faster.⁴

Unclaimed Revenue: The Cost of Slower Websites

In the race for digital dominance, speed is the one attribute that can make or break your success. The chilling reality is that many businesses are unknowingly leaving substantial amounts of revenue on the table by companies making slower, cookie-cutter websites built using conventional platforms like WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace. While these may seem user-friendly and easily reproducible, they fail to leverage advanced technologies that are essential for superior speed and performance. Every second your website takes to load is a tick on the clock that sends your potential customers elsewhere, allowing your competitors to swoop in. The formula is simple: slower websites are outperformed in ranking, user experience, and conversions - every single time. It's not merely about losing out on a single sale; it's about jeopardizing the sustainability and growth of your business in an increasingly digital world.

Your website speed is a critical factor that directly influences your bottom line. It's time to stop leaving money on the table and start capitalizing on the benefits of a fast, efficient website built with Next.js by Cascade Web Solutions.
