How does this affect me?

Studies show that users leave a site if it hasn't loaded in 4 seconds; keep
your users happy and engaged by providing a fast performing website.

What do these grades mean?

As if you didn't need more incentive, Google has announced that they
are using page speed in their ranking algorithm.

This report is an analysis of your site with Google and

Yahoo!'s metrics for how to best develop a site for optimized
speed. The grades you see represent how well the
scanned URL adheres to those rules.

About GTmetrix

Lower grades (C or lower) mean that the page can stand to

be faster using better practices and optimizing your settings.

We can help you develop a faster, more efficient, and all-around

improved website experience for your users. We use Google PageSpeed
and Yahoo! YSlow to grade your site's performance and provide
actionable recommendations to fix these issues.
