Page Speed is Meaningful. Yeah, We All Know That.
This is an installment of the ongoing “Metrics Series.”
A bunch of weeks ago, we made some infrastructure changes that really sped up our site. Our pages were pretty slow before that. The immediate change was that the percentage of “quality visits” (a metric we use to look at the number of people who find value on Boxxet) went up 10%.Â
But a more qualitative metric of our slow page speed can be seen as a loss of a ”star” in a review. The week we made the page speed improvement, a review of Boxxet on LAPTOP Magazine came out. It was a very positive review, but one of the criticisms was “the service is in its infancy, so it is not up to speed yet-literally. Performance was sluggish last time we visited…“ Yeah, they were right.Â
