Google says that as your site load speed increases from 1 to 7 seconds, your bounce rate increases 113%. Missed opportunities; bounced prospects means missed sales.<\/p>\n

I tested my own website against a number of other sites on the Google Test My Site<\/a> tool and here\u2019s what I found.<\/p>\n

My site www.mccordweb.com \u2013 3 second load, excellent rating, low loss of visitors. My site is a responsive design in PHP and only uses WordPress for the blog.<\/p>\n

Industrial\u00a0company legacy HTML website that is over 8 years old, but the owner is not ready to do an update yet. 7 second load time, fair rating, 26% estimated visitor loss.<\/p>\n

Service\u00a0industry\u00a0company legacy PHP website that is over 10 years old, but the owner is not ready to do a site update yet. 6 second load time. fair rating, 24% estimated visitor loss.<\/p>\n

Doctor’s practice \u00a0redone responsive WordPress website, but the owner was not speed-focused.\u00a07 second load time. fair rating, 26% estimated visitor loss.<\/p>\n

Technology business newly redone responsive WordPress website with a very glitzy look, but the\u00a0designer was not speed-focused.\u00a010 second load time.\u00a0poor rating, 29% estimated visitor loss.<\/p>\n

What I have found is that the WordPress sites with the slide show on the home page are not testing well for speed. The PHP based websites that do not have a slide show cover and are more text focused and utilize created AMP pages are testing as speedy.<\/p>\n
