Description
Do you know how website speed optimization impact conversion rate?
Back in 2006, Amazon presented one of the first website speed optimization studies. The studies linking clear causation between page load time and online customer revenue. This summarized in Greg Linden’s presentation Make Data Useful.
Through A/B testing Greg showed surprising results. The result shows, every 100-millisecond delay in page rendering time resulted in sales loss. For every 100 ms 1% loss of sales for Amazon.
In more recent research, Intuit presented findings at Velocity 2013. From their recent effort to reduce page load time from 15 seconds to 2 seconds. During that effort, they observed a dramatic increase in conversions. For every second shaved off their page load time in a step that decreased with increasing speed.
Particularly
- +3% conversions for every second reduced from 15 seconds to 7 seconds
- +2% conversions for every second reduced from seconds 7 to 5
- +1% conversions for every second reduced from seconds 4 to 2
So, in other words, there was tremendous value in the initial website speed optimization. And diminishing value as they got faster.
Kyle Rush from the 2011 Obama for America campaign site showed speed optimization’s impact. Through A/B testing that a 3-second page time reduction improved onsite donations by 14%. Resulting in an increase of over $34 million in election contributions.
