Performance statement.

Performance is an important part of the user experience, and it affects business metrics. At Reliqio, we believe that it plays a significant role in the success of any online venture, as high-performing sites engage and retain users better than poorly performing ones.

It's tempting to think that if you have a good team you'll end up with a performant site, but the truth is that good performance is rarely a side effect.

This statement rounds up some of the research that has been done on the relationship between performance and business success, and why speed is one of the defining factors in how successful online ventures can be.

Performance plays a vital role in the success of any digital venture. Web apps that load quickly and respond to user input in a timely fashion engage and retain users better than apps that are slow to load, and feel sluggish.

At Reliqio, we spend considerable time and effort utilizing a set of user-centric performance metrics known as Core Web Vitals. While there are many Core Web Vitals case studies highlighting the connection between performance and business outcomes, here are a couple for you to consider:

Studies have also shown the negative impact that poor performance can have on business outcomes. As an example, the BBC found they lost an additional 10% of users for every additional second their site took to load. If you care about retaining users, then you should be focusing on performance!

While retaining users is crucial to improving conversions, performance can also have a material effect on whether your app's users follow through. Slow apps and sites have a negative impact on revenue, and fast sites are shown to increase conversion rates and improve business outcomes, as these select case studies can attest to:

The relationship between performance and business outcomes is clear: if you have an online business, performance is something you should be prioritizing if you're not already—it's likely that your competitors are!

Performance isn't just about business outcomes. When it comes to the user experience, speed matters. A consumer study showed that the stress response to delays in web page speed is similar to that of watching a horror movie or solving a mathematical problem, and greater than waiting in a checkout line at a retail store.

As a web page begins to load, there's a period of time where users wait for content to appear. Until this happens, there's no user experience to speak of. This lack of an experience is fleeting on fast connections. On slower connections, however, users are forced to wait. Users may experience more challenges as page resources slowly trickle in.

Performance is a foundational aspect of good user experiences. When sites ship lots of code, browsers must use megabytes of the user's data plan to download it. Mobile devices in particular have limited CPU power and memory. This can create poor performance conditions, and—knowing human behavior—people can only tolerate adverse conditions on a website for so long before abandoning it.
