Why does speed matter?

Search engines like Google, measure and factor in the speed of websites in their ranking algorithm. When they recommend a site they want to make sure users find what they’re looking for quickly. So in effect you and Google should have the same objective.

Speed is among the most significant success factors websites face. In fact, your site’s speed directly affects your income (revenue) — it’s a fact.

Speed it’s a game changer in visibility, and some consequences of poor performance are:

  • Lower perceived credibility and quality

That should work! Otherwise, go to the new added module “Setting” and try a reset.
