Some devices will not work when certain programs are installed on your web page. A few customers will then look at your site on a PC, but over 40 percent of them will never try to load your website again. By some estimates, the Dallas Metroplex contains over eight million shoppers with over 7,200,000 of them using a mobile device to look for information on a business or for a product that they want. If your website is not working correctly, you may miss 288,000 sales from people who will never return to your website.
- Test #2 How Fast Will Your Page Load? Mobile users are impatient and refuse to wait for web pages to load. According to the Google study, only 16 percent of mobile users will wait longer than five seconds for a web page to load. In fact, 40 percent of shoppers will leave a site that does not load in the first three seconds. Yet, many search engine marketing firms in Dallas still include items on mobile web pages like images and scripts that will slow down a web page.
