The loading time of our website is important, especially if it is slow, it will make many visitors, especially those with a slow Internet connection, leave our website before it is even loaded, losing so the subsequent visit and worse, going down in the positions of Google and other search engines doing so in turn, in addition to losing the visits that come to us, we end up getting fewer visits.
There are studies that show that visitors are lost by tenths of seconds in loading time. It is also true that optimization precision is not available to everyone.
How to measure the loading time of our website
The load time of our website can be measured with different free tools, the best known being Google PageSpeed. And is that Google will tell us how long it takes to load our website, but that data is not reliable, nor is it reliable the data given by many other online tools, because it is not enough to do an instant test, what counts and matters is the average load time and the only way to know this for free is to have visitors and then yes, use Google PageSpeed, which will give us an average load time of our website. In the case of YourWPweb does not have enough visits to make an average as if I could do with other of my websites.
Here you can see as an example a capture of Google PageSpeed evaluating my web.
With a score of 85 out of 100 for visits from computers and a low score of 55 out of 100 for mobile devices. Why do not I care? My traffic comes from computers and not mobile, so being very optimized for computers I’m not interested in optimizing something that is not going to be used. Anyway in the future I will integrate cache plugins among other tools to further improve the loading speed.
And that is precisely why it is important to know the loading speed and web optimization of our site, in order to improve it. That’s why this article was necessary, because in anothers I’ll talk about how to optimize our website, both for smartphones and computers and tablets. Whether using AMP, cache plugins and other tools.
