Speed isn’t everything.
No one likes a delay, especially online. The longer a site or an image on a site takes to load the more likely it is the visitor will leave. The reasonable result of this is that speed-to-load has become the primary metric for digital experiences.
No one is saying speed isn’t important, but it’s important to remember there’s a lot more involved with customer experience. Today Steve Petersen explains why it’s essential to take a more holistic approach when evaluating your website. He says you need to be aware of both customer and stakeholder expectations and gives examples of when slower is OK.
