CASE STUDIES
Faster load speed improves conversions and SEO but there's no exact formula, so based on public case studies we set the algorithm on the Calculator to a 2% increase in conversions for every 1 second of speed change.
The range in these studies was generally 1% - 7% increase in conversions for every 1 second decrease in load speed.
*We make Shopify sites faster because studies show that performance gains improve key metrics. We guarantee a faster site but can't guarantee actual revenue results.
By the way if you have a case study you want to share let us know. It would also be cool to see any that show a decrease, for scientific completeness 🤓
Walmart saw up to a 2% increase in conversions for every 1 second of page speed decreased.
Through A/B testing, Zalando found that a 100ms improvement in load time led to a 0.7% increase in revenue per session.
A 1 second delay in page response can result in a 7% decrease in conversions
