This document discusses how small design factors can influence conversion rates on websites. It provides examples of how websites like Walmart, Staples, and Intuit improved their conversion rates by 1-14% by reducing load times by 1-2 seconds. The document also discusses an experiment by Fanatics where reducing median page load times by 2 seconds nearly doubled mobile conversions. It identifies issues like inefficient images, blocking page loads, and unoptimized CSS/JavaScript that can impact performance. The key takeaways are that user expectations change, performance issues are unpredictable, you need to measure factors, optimizations can create new problems, and small improvements can make a big difference.

If your site were one second slower, how many of your visitors would bounce? If your site were one second faster, how many additional orders would you receive? Bottom line: Do you know what one second of latency is worth to your business? Traditional approaches to performance monitoring are fatally flawed. They measure performance only in a silo, telling you how long key actions took but not putting that information into a context you can use to improve the one metric that ultimately matters: revenue. Bridging this gap requires the collection of performance and business data together, and then analyzing this data using the proper analytic methods. Using modern Real User Monitoring (RUM) techniques, Buddy Brewer will show you how to quantify the impact even one second of latency has on key business metrics like bounce and conversion rate.

This document discusses how slow page load times can hurt a website's bottom line. It notes that a 2% increase in conversions is seen for every 1 second improvement in load times.

The document outlines two main causes of slow performance: pages being too big in size and pages being too complex. It provides tips on how to address these issues, such as compressing assets, lazy loading images, consolidating resources, and optimizing third-party scripts.
