Running a website can be a stressful ordeal, fraught with difficulties that must be overcome and metrics that must be measured and tweaked. For a small business, understanding how to improve website conversions or reduce bounce rates could be the difference between success and failure. Site speed has always been an extremely important factor in increasing conversions, because let\u2019s be honest – who wants to wait for a shopping cart to load?
