Page speed refers to how quickly a website loads. Studies show that if users have to wait longer than three seconds, they’ll leave the site—especially on a smartphone. Google ranks fast pages higher in search results than slow ones. The most common causes of slow loading times are images that are too large, too many plugins, a lack of caching, and a slow hosting server. You can measure page speed for free using Google PageSpeed Insights.
