A survey of 1,500 consumers found that many experience slow retail sites in the weeks before Christmas. About 42% of respondents said they have abandoned their shopping carts on slow-running sites, and 34% said they are more likely to move to another site when they experience a slow one.
Site speed is one of the 104 best practice elements that make up the Yeoman Best Practices for Websites Scorecard. Learn more about our services, or read more about the survey.
