Speed Optimization – Make Your Website Faster
A website’s speed is crucial to getting visitors to convert. So the big question is: Do you have your website’s speed under control?
Why is your website's speed important?
You've probably experienced this yourself: you click on a page, it loads slowly, you get impatient, and you end up clicking on the next suggestion in your Google search.
What if the scenario described above actually happens on your website without you even knowing it?
Even though it might not sound like much, a few seconds can be far too long for a website to load. If it takes more than 3 seconds, you can be sure that your potential customer has already moved on to a competitor. If you run anonline store, as many as 53% of visitors will abandon their purchase if the site is too slow—and they rarely return.
Speed optimization can provide you with:
- higher rankings
- more conversions
- higher CTR score
- longer visits to the site.

How fast should a page load?
If you have a standard website, it shouldn’t take more than 2 seconds at most to load. That might not sound like much, but in reality, it’s the absolute limit of what Google will “accept.” That’s why it’s extremely important to pay attention to how fast your website is, since slow loading times can prevent your site from achieving high rankings.
Speed optimization is, in fact, also one of Google's ranking factors.

What is speed optimization?
Speed optimization means that we step in and optimize the parameters that are slowing down your website. Most often, it’s a combination of several factors, so it’s necessary to thoroughly scrutinize the site to find the gaps in the system.
4 Key Factors That Affect Your Website's Speed
There are several factors that affect your website's speed. However, you can read more about the four most important ones below:
Images are important on a website. But it’s even more important that the image files don’t take up too much space. That’s why it’s incredibly important that the files are compressed to take up as little space as possible—without, of course, compromising quality. Today, however, there are tools that can easily compress images without reducing their resolution.
If you didn't already know, speed optimization is part of the area of SEO known as technical SEO.
Lazy loading can be described as something we all do from time to time: putting things off. Lazy loading means that images are loaded as the user scrolls through the page.
This way, the images are loaded only when the user actually needs to see them. This means your page will load faster, since not everything has to load at the same time.
One of the easiest things you can do yourself to optimize your site's speed is to use browser caching. If you don't use browser caching, your site will be downloaded again every time someone visits it.
For first-time visitors, this won't make any difference, but if the same person visits the page several times in a row, the page will reload much faster the second time, the third time, and so on.
The same applies if a user has your page open in multiple browsers—the pages load faster. At Amplify, we offer hosting on powerful servers with NGINX server caching, which ensures faster load times.
If you have a WordPress website, you probably also have a lot of essential plugins installed—which is great!
However, too many plugins can slow down your website, since much more data has to be processed every time the page loads. It is therefore important to consider whether some plugins are unnecessary and whether certain tasks should actually be done manually.
