Website speed is by far the most important component of your website.
Website visitors care about site/page loading speed more than any other aspect of your website, as I’ve stated previously. It is infinitely more important than design, features, branding, or anything else
Unfortunately, the average site speed across the internet is escalating quickly. The average site loads in a whopping 7+ seconds according to popular speed testing tool GTmetrix. This is despite the fact that site speed is an increasingly more important consideration for search engine rankings.
