Make sure you don’t miss her talk „Having a slow site? Let’s find out why!“:

I choose to speak about site speed because this is a very important topic for all site owners. I do think that this topic might help people in investigating and working on fixing the cause of slowness as well as teach on some of the good practices on how to prevent it. There are many reasons why a site can be slow – outdated piece of software, badly written code, server issues, large media files and more.

No matter if we are talking about a running business or an individual’s portfolio site, it is very important that we think about the speed and optimization of that site. Not only due to the user experience and the fact that a user will most likely click away from your site if it’s too slow, but also Google will negatively rank your site. Since 2018th Google officially mentioned this negative ranking, mentioning that this will affect the slow sites, so if your site is slow not only that you might have a hard time maintaining your site’s visitors, but also affect your SEO.
