There is a rumor that the choice of hosting can affect the loading speed of a site’s pages .
It’s true.
Apparently, when you share a server with other websites and some of them start to have more load, page load times may be affected.
It is absolutely true and we also tell you why it matters a lot.
In a world where people are used to finding what they need quickly without waiting long, a website that takes longer than necessary to load, makes you lose your temper and therefore will not be consulted, visited, will not generate traffic and hence profit to its owner.
Why do people shop online? Surely to avoid having to face the inconvenience of leaving the house, getting in the car, facing queues, queues, crowds, but also because with a few clicks they can compare, choose, get information on different products and if for each product the user has to wait longer of 10 seconds, as they say, the game is not worth the candle. He gets annoyed and leaves your ecommerce.
Therefore, having a fast loading of web pages increases the possibility of converting visits into purchases and a better “user engagement”.
Google rewards sites with higher loading speeds in indexing.
This is a big deal for SEO and should be a big deal for businesses.
You’ve taken the first step, choosing hosting, creating a business site, and sharing content, but now you need to focus on making the site a great user experience, otherwise it will all be done in vain.
Why does hosting affect the loading speed of the site?
There are several factors that can affect the speed.
Starting with the hosting solution, you need to make sure that the package you choose includes a fast hard drive for more performance, even better if you opt for a VPS or a dedicated server.
Even better if the solution you choose has more memory and processing power.
Then you have to work on the optimization of the website ! By modifying the content and part of the code that makes up the individual pages and checking that there are no images that are too heavy.
Keep in mind that it is normal in the hosting world to change solutions , start with small shared plans and then move to higher performance servers. Your site is dynamic, subject to changes and modifications and the same must be true for the server service it relies on.
