  4. Performance is pretty important… ‘Why Fast Matters’ by @csswizardry –

    https://bit.ly/2kiVDAz

  5. Traffic x Conversion Rate x AOV =

  6. Performance = Traffic

  7. “The result of rebuilding our pages for performance led to

    [...] a 15 percent increase in SEO traffic” – Pinterest Source – https://bit.ly/2ICPv4Z

  8. “[…] starting in July 2018, page speed will be a

    ranking factor for mobile searches.” – Google Source – https://bit.ly/2Dt5Plz

  9. Performance = Conversion

  10. “For every 100ms decrease in homepage load speed, Mobify's customer

    base saw a 1.11% lift in session based conversion, amounting to an average annual revenue increase of $376,789” – Mobify Source – https://bit.ly/2s0FDHS

  11. “Similarly, for every 100ms decrease in checkout page load speed,

    Mobify's customers saw a 1.55% lift in session based conversion, amounting to an average annual revenue increase of $526,147” – Mobify Source – https://bit.ly/2s0FDHS

  12. Performance = AOV

  21. “But the carousel!”

    and work to support more instant-loading content not based on AMP technology in areas of Google Search designed for this, like the Top Stories carousel” – AMP Project @ Google Source – https://bit.ly/2JakbtC

  24. Why don’t we just build fast sites in the first

    place?
