No one wants to visit a slow loading website. It’s annoying, it’s frustrating, and it’s so easy to just click away and go somewhere else. On top of that Google actually rewards websites that load fast. This means that how fast your website loads is a factor in ranking your website in Google search results. So optimizing your website for speed is actually part of search engine optimization (SEO).

Its adds costs to new website development and people are always looking to keep costs down. Once the website is up and running, addressing things like speed optimization and search engine optimization to further improve the site often happens during a next phase of development.
Over time, existing websites can get bloated as development is done piecemeal, technologies become outdated, servers need upgraded… A website is always a work in progress! Ongoing website maintenance should be a priority for every website owner.
