Nothing makes visitors jump away from your web site quicker than slow web page loading. This can be caused by a number of factors from poor coding to over sized graphics (or way too many graphics). Whatever the cause, getting your load time down to between 10 seconds to no more than 30 seconds is vital to retaining visitors.
