Did you know that a mere 1-second delay in load time could cost you 11%<\/a> in lost visitors? And worse yet, for each second delay, you lose another 11%.<\/p>\n

If your medical website takes 5 seconds to load, you’ve lost over 50% of your traffic. Ouch!<\/p>\n

You can only do so much to speed up your site. But a website speed optimization service can help take speed to the next level by optimizing everything.<\/p>\n

Let’s explore 5 signs you need to optimize your speed.<\/p>\n

1) You’ve Got a High Bounce Rate<\/h2>\n

The traffic’s pouring in. You can see it in Google Analytics. But nothing much is happening after that. People just leave.<\/p>\n

They don’t read any of your nice blogs, watch your videos or schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n

They’re bouncing. A high bounce rate<\/a> can indicate that your pages are partially loading or loading slowly.<\/p>\n

Site speed<\/a> is the biggest example of “first impressions matter.”<\/p>\n

If your site is slow, a potential customer might wonder, then what else is wrong with it?<\/p>\n

A website speed optimization service can help send the right first impression every time to delight customers and improve your rankings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2) You’re Getting Attention on Social But Little Traffic<\/h2>\n

People love your social content. They’re sharing your videos and even your blogs. But little of this interaction is turning into click-throughs.<\/p>\n

They may actually be clicking through. But because load time is so slow, they leave before analytics even realizes you had a visitor.<\/p>\n

These are lost opportunities that a website speed optimization service could help you reclaim.<\/p>\n

3) Your Patients are Complaining<\/h2>\n

Ask the front desk. They probably get all the complaints. But they never tell the people who can fix it unless you ask them. They may not realize what a big deal this is.<\/p>\n

Ask the questions. Survey patients about pain points with the site. And work to do it better.<\/p>\n

4) You’ve Got a Lot of Duplication in Your Code<\/h2>\n

It’s the eternal plight in the coding world. Code gets put on top of code. You end up with duplications. These snippets seem harmless enough.<\/p>\n

But they’re not. During loading, this code must still be read. It can cause delays.<\/p>\n

Additionally, having certain sections load before others could improve the UX of your site. Patients today want a great user experience like they get on the Atlanta Face and Body facelifts<\/a> website.<\/p>\n

A website speed optimization service will help you clear the clutter and prioritize what loads first to improve user experience on the site.<\/p>\n

5) You Think It’s Okay to Be Slow on Mobile if You’re Fast on Desktops<\/h2>\n

It’s not okay to be slow on mobile in this day and age. According to Wired, 47% of people<\/a> expect a site to load in 2 seconds regardless of what device they’re on. Nearly 60% of searches<\/a> now take place on mobile.<\/p>\n

It matters.<\/p>\n

Website Speed Optimization Service<\/h2>\n

If you’re struggling to speed up your website on your own don’t delay, it could be costing your medical website a lot. A speed optimization service can help you regain these lost visits and lost patients.<\/p>\n
