While a fast-loading site on desktop is important, mobile devices are now the most common way to access the web. Mobile networks are slower, and phones are less powerful than desktops – so a site that’s fast on a desktop machine can crawl on a phone.

This can impact your bottom line: when page load time increases from 1 second to 5 seconds, the probability of a user abandoning your page rises by 90% (Google). People are impatient and unwilling to wait for a slow web page: latency costs you money.

The Acorn Web Hosting CDN reduces latency through its edge caching and optimises your website content for snappy, responsive page loads.

Google’s messaging about site speed couldn’t be more clear: fast sites rank higher, and slow sites may receive a penalty. Site speed has become increasingly important to ranking on all search engines’ results pages.

A search engine wants to be popular. It can only achieve that by giving users results that satisfy them. If you click a link that doesn’t load quickly, you’re more likely to return to the search results and try an alternative. That alternative might be a competitor, and the search engine could rank that competitor higher next time. So you could lose ranking, as well as a sale.

Our CDN and website optimisation tools will help shave off those all-important seconds from load time – improving its SEO performance wherever your customers are in the world.

Some of us are lucky enough to live in locations where the cost of data is low. But it’s not the same everywhere. If your market is global you should consider this. In some places, a smartphone is the only portal to the internet for most people and data can be expensive.

Understandably, mobile users are reluctant to stay on sluggish, data-hungry websites. Our optimisations will help to make your site load quickly on slow networks and low-spec devices, keeping users engaged.

Data also has a cost to the environment: larger downloads and long-distance data transfers consume more energy and produce CO2. Reducing the payload of your website lessens its overall carbon footprint. So by using the Acorn Web Hosting CDN you can limit harm to the planet too.
