I'm this is definitely a problem. For a web shop, this is really a conversion killer, because it's taking way too long. It's actually quite a nice website it's about motor stickers - of course - and you can sell all kind of rim striping and all kind of things you need for your bicycle. Great. And let's press on contact, let's see how long this takes. Right that's really getting slow. So we're going to try to optimize the speed of this thing. What we need are third party tools that can measure the speed for us, and let us know if we are on the right track with optimizing it. To do this we go to Google and we type in "Page Speed Insights" over there. This is the website we're going to use. Click on it. We're going to open up another tab and we're going to type in GT Metrix, also over there click on it. And we're going to use another website, the last one is Pingdom tools, search for it and click on the Pingdom Website Speed Test Pingdom Tools. Here we go. So the first one is Page Speed Insight. I'll fill in your own website in over here and press on 'Analyze; . Then we're going to do the same with GT Metrix, just put your website in over there and press on 'Test your site'. Here we go. Also with Pingdom, go over there fill in your website, choose a location that's nearest to you - in our case it's Germany. We're going to press 'Start Test'. Here we go. Now let's go to Page Speed Insights and see if things have changed a little bit. All right, I have not seen a website this bad. This is really bad. On mobile an 11 and on desktop a 38 now, if you click on mobile, and you scroll down just a little bit, you can see what's the biggest problem. The first Contentful Paint, how long it takes for an image to appear, and the Largest Contentful Paint. So when this loads in, everything changes on your display, and this is not good for user experience. That's what Page Speed says. Let's go to GT Metrix. This is not very good. And why? Again largest contentful paint - they're not happy with it and the performance is just 25%, because it takes way too long. If you scroll down on your own website, you will see that it these are the seconds. One 2 3 4 5 6, and then at 8 seconds it's actually ready for 'Time to interactive'. That means after 8 seconds you can actually use the site. And that's way too long. Let's go to Pingdom. Pingdom is also not impressed, it has a C. With a page size and a.....
