What role does website speed play?

[Sven]

May I know the importance of website speed.

[Aiden]

Your website should load in under three seconds, or two seconds if it's an eCommerce site.

The short answer is that page speed does have an impact on SEO. Page speed is a direct ranking component, as Google's Algorithm Speed Update has made clear.

What causes a website to load slowly?

[Elliott]

Network congestion, bandwidth throttling and limits, data discrimination and filtering, and content filtering can all cause slow site performance.

[Ivy Afton]

You can conduct a traceroute between your computer and your website to examine the connection if you detect poor speeds when visiting your site.

May I know the average amount of traffic that a website receives?

[Aiden]

The results of a HubSpot poll of over 400 online traffic analysts are mixed. Only 16.7% of B2B websites receive between 40,001 and 100,001 unique monthly visits, compared to 22.5 per cent of B2C sites. However, only 14.7 percent of B2C sites receive over 100K unique monthly visits, whereas 16.7% of B2B sites do.
