“A piece of paper with your design mockup. A customer in a shop or bookstore. Their finger is their mouse, the paper their screen. Where would they click? Do they know what these labels mean? Do they see the major routes out of the page? Any barriers.Congratulations, you just got feedback on your design, before writing a single freaking line of code or asking your developers to keep changing stuff.”

Create a suck index = pageviews * load time.
Here I show you some examples of well known brands, some of whom should know better. The larger the size of the page, the longer it will take to download and render on the device, especially when you don’t have perfect data conditions. The numberof requests also makes a difference, as it’s inefficient on mobile to open lots of connections like this. In short, the smaller the pagesize and number of requests you can aim for, the better. I’m patient with bad data connections but do people have the tolerance for 10-15 seconds on mobile? No – it has to happen much faster.
These are the results of a live test on a site, where an artificial delay is introduced in the performance testing. I’ve done some testing like this myself on desktop and mobile sites and confirm this is true – you’re increasing bounce rate, decreasing conversion, site engagement…It doesn’t matter what metric you use, performance equals MONEY or if not measured, a HUGE LOSS.
Performance also harms the lifeblood of e-commerce and revenue generating websites – repeat visitors! The gap here in one second of delay is enormous over time. You’re basically sucking a huge portion of potential business out of your site, with every additional bit of waiting time you add.
Add unique phone numbers to all your mobile sites and apps. That’s for starters.Then configure your analytics to collect data when people Click or Tap to make a phone call.Make sure you add other events like ringbacks, email, chat – any web forms or lead gen activity too.
