Has your website outgrown your hosting company? Maybe you have found a better hosting option. *cough SURPASS cough* Whatever the case may be, there’s no reason to experience downtime when switching to a new host. Here’s a few quick, easy steps to ensure a smooth transition.

One of our biggest first world problems is a slow loading page. Not even 10 years ago, we would wait 20 to 30 seconds for a website to load, and that’s if you had a good dial up connection. Nowadays, 40 percent of people will abandon a site if it takes longer than 3 seconds to load. Each delayed second causes a 7% decrease in your conversion rate, so money is being lost literally by the second.

Your first contact with your future customer is site arrival. Sure you might have top-notch content and a beautiful page, but it means nothing if the site doesn’t load properly or on time. Speed is not just important, it’s essential. Here’s some helpful tips, plug-ins and websites you must be aware of to have a lightning fast Wordpress page.
