Page Test (Full Page Load Monitoring)
Are you losing visitors and customers on your site because they don’t like what you are selling or because they don’t like how long they have to wait on your site for pages to load?
Now with Monitis’ Full Page Test Tool, you can see how long it takes to load a complete HTML page in real browsers. By tracking the load times of each individual image, CSS, JavaScripts, RSS, Flash and frames/iframes, the tool measures your web visitors user experience and satisfaction level.
Monitis’ Full Page Test Tool is useful for understanding and analyzing things like:
- which elements take the longest to load
- how internal and external links are affected during loading
- how long it takes to connect
- the start and finish time of the load for each item on the page.
Why it is important?
- Slow page load times negatively impact a site’s Google ranking.
- Slow page load times turn away visitors. Research has proven that slow page loads (4 secs or more) increase users’ frustration and dissatisfaction with a site.
- Slow page load times result in lost sales. Research has shown that an 8 second load time (4 seconds above the optimal load time of 4 seconds) can result in a visitor loss of up to 75.75%.
Google found that moving from a 10-result page loading in 0.4 seconds to a 30-result page loading in 0.9 seconds decreased traffic and ad revenues by 20%.
When the page of Google Maps was reduced from 100KB to 70-80KB, traffic went up 10% in the first week, and an additional 25% in the following three weeks.
In Amazon’s tests they found that for every 100 ms increase in the page load time of Amazon.com, sales decreased by 1%.
Microsoft’s own experiments on Live Search showed that when search results pages were slowed by 1 second:
- queries per user declined by 1.0%, and
- ad clicks per user declined by 1.5%
After slowing the search results page by 2 seconds:
- queries per user declined by 2.5%, and
- ad clicks per user declined by 4.4%
