Page Speed

How quickly a web page loads and becomes interactive.

Page speed refers to how quickly a web page loads, renders, and becomes interactive for a user. It is measured by Google PageSpeed Insights using a 0–100 scoring system. Scores above 90 are considered "Good". Page speed affects user experience, conversion rate (each second of delay reduces conversions by ~7%), and SEO rankings. Key factors affecting page speed include image optimisation, JavaScript execution, server response time, and code efficiency.
