What?

Optimizing load times requires more than standard analytics tools

A fast load time is essential for a strong user experience and higher conversions. Google Analytics offers only limited insights in this area, as it reports average load times without considering real user experiences. Advanced performance monitoring, with metrics like First Contentful Paint (FCP) and Time to Interactive (TTI), provides a more accurate picture of when a page is truly usable. By smartly utilizing this data, you improve load times, increase customer satisfaction, and maximize conversion results.
