How sub-second websites will help e-commerce companies to sell more?

Speed means business today. It becomes even more imperative in 2020 for revenue-generating websites like eCommerce stores to acquire the right technology and tools to improve the latency and load time, which we call having ‘sub-second websites’.
Switching to a sub-second website is even more crucial for the average eCommerce website that relies on paid search traffic to attract new and return business. The site speed not only impacts SEO searches but have a profound effect on conversion rates as well. In fact, a study has found an average lift of 15-30% in conversion rates by having a sub-second website for your eCommerce. The truth is, most visitors are extremely unforgiving when it comes to websites that take more than 2 seconds to load. We also found that 79% of consumers would never want to return to make another purchase if the poor web performance continues. A recent State of the Online Retail Performance Report by Akamai states the benefits of having a sub-second website for your eCommerce. The report noted that the quicker your website pages load, the longer your site visitors will stay on your website (and thus the lower your site’s bounce rate will be). Let us examine some of the most important reasons why your eCommerce site speed is so crucial to your success as a website owner.
