Web page loading speed has become a crucial part of a website’s usability in today’s online environment. With users’ online buying behavior becoming increasingly complex and non-linear there is ever more sensitivity to web performance. Slow loading pages directly lead to poor user experiences, fewer visits and fewer conversions which in turn impacts a company’s bottom line.
That being said, this message hasn't been heeded in certain industries. In our latest Mobile Web Report for Q1 2017 for example, we found that many of the largest newspaper sites are losing readers due to slow load times on mobile. With device fragmentation on the rise, the key challenge for businesses is to ensure their websites load quickly on all devices which will go a long way to improving conversion rates and ROI.
ROI Calculator: Your Web Performance Payback
With this in mind, DeviceAtlas has launched an ROI tool that will calculate your company's potential uplift by improving your load times using server-side device detection. You can find out your potential return in just 2 steps. First, you need to select the monthly traffic your website gets. Then you need to select your average sales price on your website.
Our ROI tool then immediately outputs your potential revenue uplift based on an estimated conversion rate of 3%. To calculate this, the industry average load speed for mobile sites over 3G connections (19 seconds according to Google) is taken as the benchmark and the load time improvement (less than 3 seconds) is an estimated result of implementing mobile optimization based on DeviceAtlas server-side detection.
