Optimizing Your Site Speed - Page 8

It’s been awhile since I’ve written a post about the importance of page load speed. Instead of just telling you about how important page load speed is, you probably care more about how page load speed impacts your bottom line. Kissmetrics, an Analytics solution provider, has done extensive research regarding how page speed can impact your success. This report mentions:

We are excited to announce the launch of our Turbo Servers. With up to 20X faster page loads compared to standard hosting, Turbo servers mark our fastest hosting service to date.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise WordPress users really care about page load speed and website security. After all, page load speed impacts everything from your bounce rates, conversion rates, page views and Google rankings. On the security side, over 10 million websites are hacked each year and the total cost to fix those hacks are rapidly escalating.

One of the questions we’ve been commonly asked over the past few months by our European customers was whether they would experience the largest speed boost by hosting their site closer to their visitors in our European data center or on our US-based solid state drives. There’s no need to wonder any longer! That’s because we’ve launched SSD Hosting in our European data center. Now our European Web Hosting customers can experience the speed benefits of both our SSDs as well as hosting their content closer to their visitors.

With many websites there will come a point where optimizing PHP code, adding memory to a server and tweaking configuration files can’t provide enough optimization to keep the site running smoothly. Even though server technologies are improving rapidly, all of the code processing, compiling and database queries that happen when serving up web content can take their toll on the available resources of the server. Eventually with a growing audience and without the proper solutions in place, the speed at which the server is able to deliver content begins to slow down.

Whenever a salesperson calls me these days or I set up a conference call, I can’t help but watch the seconds tick away. Do you have the same problem? We’re all so busy these days, that we just want the executive summary. Just cut to the chase already! What’s your product all about, how can it help me and is it worth the money?
