If a site takes more than a few seconds to load, the visitor is likely to leave and go elsewhere. WordPress sites are prone to this flaw, especially if they are using a lot of plugins. Keep it simple, keep it fast. Thanks also for reminding me about Christmas! You make a very good point in this article, download speed for a website is of the utmost importance to visitors.

WordPress sites are prone to this flaw, especially if they are using a lot of plugins. Keep it simple, keep it fast.

Thanks also for reminding me about Christmas!

Site speed has been on my mind for a while especially the importance Google place on it - when they made it a Google Quality Score factor that was a clear message that site speed is assessed by them and is important. When I design a site I try to optimize things like images but obviously there's a lot more that can be done to make a site faster. Interesting article.
