What’s an Acceptable Load Time?
According to Google, the ideal load time is under 3 seconds. Any slower, and bounce rates start to climb dramatically. For mobile users, that expectation is even higher.
Why Speed Matters
- User experience: Visitors leave slow sites quickly — often before they even see your content.
- SEO: Google uses page speed as a ranking factor in search results.
- Conversions: Faster sites lead to higher engagement, leads, and sales.
What Slows Down a Website?
- Large, unoptimized images
- Too many third-party scripts (like trackers or embeds)
- Outdated CMS extensions or themes
- Slow hosting or lack of caching
How to Improve Website Speed
- Compress images and serve next-gen formats like WebP
- Minimize code (HTML, CSS, JS)
- Enable caching and lazy loading
- Use a fast, reliable CMS setup — like Joomla + YOOtheme Pro
- Choose high-performance hosting
