With people’s attention spans becoming even shorter than before, can you really afford for your small business’s website to be slow? A slow website can have a bigger impact on your bottom line than any other issue, but how do you know if your website is running slow?
Here are 3 FREE ways to check your website speed, and make sure you are there for potential customers.

This free option is hosted by Google. Simply enter your website address and it will display all the information you may need to understand how quick or slow your website is loading. These statistics include: first contentful paint, speed index, largest contentful paint, time to interactive, total blocking time, and cumulative layout shift.
You might be thinking, “How is this helpful? I don’t know what any of this means.”
Each one of these statistics is valuable in understanding how your website is functioning. For an in depth explanation of each of these terms head over to theseasonedmarketer.com/speed for a free download that will help you understand each term.
If you are looking for a WordPress plugin to run constant checks on speed issues for your website, Query Monitor is your option. Once this plugin is installed onto your website, you will see at the top of your website dashboard a section that will tell you how fast your website is performing.
