Is there anything worse than trying to load a website and seeing the ‘spinning wheel of death’? Chances are your customers hate it too! In fact, 40% of users will straight up abandon a website if it takes longer than 3 seconds to load.
Join Corey Wolf, founder of Digital Marketing Meetup Adelaide, as he shares his top tips for turning your 20 second load time into a 2 second load time, enhancing the user experience and giving you an advantage over your competitors.
He’ll cover a range of web development best practices, from hosting and content delivery networks to image optimisation and plugins. Whether you’re a beginner who knows nothing about site speed or a pro looking to fine tune your skills, this meetup has something for everyone – no coding experience necessary.
