For online companies, a slow loading website can be disastrous. Poor page performance can cause significant issues affecting the overall customer experience.
The longer your page takes to load, the higher the chance that a customer will leave the site. As well as reputational damage, that poor user experience can result in fewer conversions and a loss of revenue.
We actively look at the world's largest companies' websites to test how pagespeed varies. We analyse a number of data points and metrics to calculate the score including:
There is a strong focus on performance within the organisation, users will benefit from good page load times and SEO will be high.
Evidence of some best practice being applied but still many areas for improvement.
Some basic performance techniques being missed and a significant impact on user experience.
We base our pagespeed index on 35 unique data points. These criteria are used to weigh, score and rank website performance across the world.
Factors that affect performance constantly shift. This process is heuristic; changing based on the live data we obtain from companies we’re tracking. As such, we’re committed to updating and iterating our 35 criteria as we progress.
