IntroductionJump to section: introduction 🔗

In the fast-paced world of the internet, the success of your website depends not just on its looks but on its performance. You may have hired a web developer to create a stunning website, but do you know how well it performs? Are you maximizing its potential to attract visitors and rank high on Google? These are questions every business owner should ask their developer. Here’s why.

Technology Moves Fast – Does Your Website Keep Up?Jump to section: technology-moves-fast-does-your-website-keep-up 🔗

The digital landscape is evolving rapidly. Trends in web design and development come and go, and what was cutting-edge last year could now be outdated. Modern websites need to meet the latest technical requirements to ensure they perform well on search engines and provide an excellent user experience. Factors like mobile responsiveness, speed optimization, and accessibility are no longer optional—they are essentials.

But here’s the catch: even if your developer delivered a great website initially, it might not be performing at its best today. Technology’s rapid evolution means continuous evaluation and optimization are necessary to stay ahead.

What Should Your Website Deliver?Jump to section: what-should-your-website-deliver 🔗

When evaluating your website’s performance, consider these key areas:

SpeedJump to section: speed 🔗

Google has repeatedly emphasized the importance of fast-loading websites. Studies show that a delay of even one second can lead to a 7% drop in conversions. Use tools like Google PageSpeed Insights to test your website’s speed. Ideally, your scores should be above 90 for both mobile and desktop.
