PageSpeed Insights
PageSpeed Insights is a service offered by Google that generates a free, and pretty detailed insight report, with regards to how fast your site loads. All you have to do is navigate to the PageSpeed Insights page and put your site’s URL in the search bar.
PageSpeed Insights will generate a report of all of the issues that are slowing your page load down, for both your mobile and desktop iterations.
Your analysis will be broken up into meaningful categories so that you can focus on one issue at a time. Within those categories, each specific issue will be listed, along with a potential solution. It may take some work to implement all of those solutions, but the information you need to get your page load time optimized is all right at your fingertips, for free.
Common Issues
One of the most common issues with page load time is image sizing/format. Take a look at the images you are using on your pages, especially your home page, and see if they can be compressed without losing any clarity.
Conclusion
The load time for your website can have a huge effect on SEO and user experience. It is, quite frankly, the first thing anyone notices about your site. Make sure your site is fast enough that people, well, don’t notice!
