Test Your Website Loading Speed

by | Nov 13, 2018

If you are serious about growing your business, you need to make sure that your company shows up in browser searches when individuals are seeking the products or services you offer.  Just building a website just isn’t enough to make that happen. Your website needs to be optimized for search, meaning it has to follow a series of best practices that create positive user experiences. One of those best practices is the time it takes for your website to load. Long load times are SEO killers and the result is declining ranking in search engines. I’ve listed a few FREE online resources for testing your website speed. Each of them will let you know whether your load time is acceptable or not.  If it is, congrats!  If not, you need to get it fixed, and fast!   Call your website developer, do some research on ways to correct the issues that were highlighted, or give our VP Brian Rugg a call at 877.799.4256 or email him at brian@tbgl.net for some expert assistance!
