Many years ago, I read a report from Amazon that said if your page cannot load within 3 seconds people will leave the page and not go ahead with the purchase even when they wanted to buy the product. Website loading speed has a great impact on your sales for online businesses.

I mostly sell through e-commerce marketplaces, therefore, my online stores load very fast. I also sell from my own website and my website also seems to have decent speed. What about you?

Online store loading speed could affect the sales until or unless you have some kind of unique product which might not be available elsewhere. Maybe using a better plugin could help a business load the website faster. This might be quite important in case if you are suffering from this issue.
 
I am the kind of person that is very impatient when it comes to making use of an online website to purchase whatever I want. The moment I tried to access your website and it is not loading very quickly, I will stop using it and look for another good website to make use of. I believe that this is the way customers quit making use of any business pages that they want to purchase from.

I think that there are many plugins that could be used in order to enhance the website speed. However, I think that it may come with a cost. Not all the contents of the page may get displayed or loaded. So, companies should focus on this aspect. Maybe removing irrelevant details on a web page may increase its speed.

It is always going to be in the best interest of anyone who is making use of a website to host his business for selling products online to make sure that everything about the website is always going to be well optimised to give their uses a very good experience, otherwise they will end up losing those who come to the website to check whatever they can be able to purchase because the website is not giving them what they want.

Online store's loading time could have a big effect on your sales. However, we must also notice here that a website may load quite quickly on certain devices. However, it may have a harder time loading on some devices. This is a kind of factor many people usually do not consider.

When the speed of a particular website is very okay but it is not loading very fast on a particular device, this is not the problem of the website but the problem of the person who is using the device that it is not loading very fast. This might be as a result of their internet service provider. In this kind of situation, there is nothing you can ask the website owner to do so that the website will be loading fast on that particular device.

This report from Amazon that said if your page cannot load within 3 seconds people will leave the page and not purchase the product even when they wanted to buy the product is true. If I use myself as a case study, the same thing is what I would do. If you're serious about your website for business where you sell on, it will never load slow.
 
These days people have a lot of choices, therefore, they wouldn't take any chances. They will leave the site if it takes a long time to load. If you do not want to lose your traffic, if you do not want to lose your chances of sales and generating revenue, your site should load really fast.
 
Exactly! The moment those who are making use of your website are finding it very difficult to access the website because it is loading very slow, you will be losing lots of traffic that are going to drive sales to your business. This is something that kills a lot of businesses without them knowing that it is a challenge that they need to fix as quickly as possible.
 
It's pretty simple, if your store page is a chore to get through due to loading times, or whatever, then you will lose possible customers during the whole process. If your site for your shop is slow, then people might skip out on using it. It doesn't need to be super fast by any means, just move fast enough for most people not to get annoyed.

Well, a website could load slowly on a computer and there could be many different reasons for that. for example, if your RAM is not in a good condition, then this could lead your browser to work very slowly. Apart from this, if your computer's hard drive is also faulty, then this could also have a negative effect on the speed of browser as well.

Any problem that is coming from the device that we are making use of to access a website which makes it to be very slow in connecting is not something the business owner have to attend to. It is your personal problem and you are the only one that can fix it.

As long as the business owner have made sure that his website loads very fast, whatever challenge you're having with your device is personalised.

Honestly speaking, there are many things that could affect the website speed. In fact, even your computer's motherboard may also have some kind of negative or positive effect, depending on your motherboard. This is exactly why so many websites load quite quickly on modern computers.
 
Yes, a slow loading time for a site increases bounce rates and decreases conversions. To get more sales, your page should load in three seconds or less. Anything longer than that will make your visitors lose interest in your site, and they will go to your competitor's site to make a purchase. Also, slow website speed results in cart abandonment.

Until or unless if a product is really needed by the customer, then there are chances that the customer may stop surfing your online store if your website lags. This is because in case if the website lags, then this may also annoy the customer as well.
