Is your WordPress website loading slowly? Use our website speed measurement tool for free.

A slow-loading website = viewers leave immediately

If your website doesn't load quickly, the chances of viewers clicking away and turning to a competitor's site increase. Every second matters for both user experience and search engine ranking.

The good news is that WordPress.com has made the Site Speed Tool available for free. This speed testing tool helps analyze issues related to the Core Web Vitals of a website, such as loading speed, responsiveness to interactions, and page stability, along with easy-to-understand and immediately applicable improvement recommendations.

Why is "speed" important?

Statistical data speaks for everything:

• 70% of users admit that "website speed" affects their purchasing decisions.
• 47% expect the website to load within 2 seconds.
• If it takes longer than 3 seconds to load:
  • 22% will close the page
  • 14% will go to the competitor's website.
  • 40% will leave the website immediately.

Simply put, a faster website has a higher chance of converting visitors into customers, gaining a competitive advantage, and increasing long-term revenue.
