If your site takes longer than 3 seconds to load, most users will leave and go to the next company. Sites that are unresponsive will take longer to load.

Options to Fix Your Website

• In-house web developer; talk to them about updating your website to be mobile-ready.
• If you don’t have a web developer, ask someone you know if they know a web developer that they trust.
• Look online for cheap developers. A popular option is UpWork.com which allows you to post a job description and have Freelancers “bid” for the job. You can save some money but be aware of the potential costs and communication issues.
