Though the fact might not be of much importance to a
blogger or a web owner, it is a matter of grave concern for a commercial
website, or a website which earns by selling stuff. If your visitor
abandons your website before even seeing how it looks or feels, how can you
justify your measures to improve your website's CSS or your spending time
trying to create catchy new banners. All your toils around the day will go to
waste, if your visitors do not see it and let it affect their choices.
Let us take an example of mobile users; these users are
usually skeptic about buying things online through mobile devices. Also, the
patience of such users is thinner than a thread. So, when they find a website,
taking time to load, they would press back key and go find another website
which loads faster. Now as a result of such a routine, the user tends to
remember the faster loading website, deeming it better than the others.
The reason of selecting SEO websites is that, these
websites plan and advise on how to make websites look good on Google’s books,
leading to a better page rank. But do they really follow the one most important
thing required for any website to score?
