Understanding Website Performance Metrics

1. Website Speed

When you think about "What must be an ideal speed for a website?", most of the time the thing you might only consider is how fast a page loads. But there’s much more to it than that meets the eye. In today's era, people have shorter attention spans than ever and it’s crucial to know how your site performs in different speed-related aspects:

Time to Title :

This is the time taken by a website when a visitor request's your website and the time it takes to load the site’s title on the browser tab. If the site's title appears quickly, then this gives the users a sense of trust and reassures visitors that this site is a legitimate and trustworthy website.

Time to Start Render:

After searching a website The worst experience you could provide to your user is when the website buffers a lot and you can not even see a single bit of content. This measures how long it takes for any content to appear on the screen after a user requests your site. Nobody likes to wait and if your website provides the users what they are searching for within a fraction of seconds then they are more likely to stay.

Time to Interact:

 This is the time from when a visitor first requests your site to when they can actually start interacting with it (like clicking on links or scrolling). The quicker they can engage, the more likely they are to stick around.

To start improving your site speed, focus on these three metrics. You can check them using free web page speed test tools.

Key Metrics For Website Speed

2. Number of Assets

“Assets” are the building blocks of your webpage, including text, images, videos, and more. Each of these elements adds to your page’s load time. The more assets you have, the slower your page might load. Tools are available to help you analyze the size of these assets, and if they’re dragging down your load speed, consider hosting them externally.

3. Error Rate

This metric measures the ratio of error produced by your site against normal requests received by your site. If you see a rise in errors, then that could indicate a potential problem that could bring your site down if not addressed. When you keep a check on your error rate, error prevention and correction is done before it escalates into any disruptive events.

4. Bounce Rate

The bounce rate represents the percentage of individuals that visit your website and leave after a very short time span, more precisely – in the first session. A very high bounce rate could be a threat, not only for your conversion rates but also to your SEO as it portrays your site is not offering what the visitors are looking for. The percentage of the visitors that exit after viewing the first page of the site, is known as the bounce rate and this can be discovered with the help of Google Analytics, the steps are quite simple – Open google analytics, under Behavior > Site Content > Landing Pages – Here you can see the entire report of your website. Now, you just have to scroll down inorder to see the bounce rates of individual pages. 

How To Check Bounce Rate

5. Unique Visitors

Unique visitors denote the daily, weekly or monthly total number of unique people that access the website from different browsers. This metric is the key to measure the growth of our website. While, there is no doubt that repeated visitors are of major importance too, but an increasing amount of unique visitors indicates that you’re bringing in fresh audiences to your website.

6. Traffic Source

Traffic Sources indicate the medium through which users have come to your website. In this context, the amount of traffic to a website and its origin is important, and knowing where the visitors are coming from is as critical as knowing how much traffic one gets. This also makes it possible to determine whether your visitors are coming from organic searches, via social media, or referrals. Ideally, your traffic should come from different sources – If the traffic is weighted heavily towards any one of the sources, then some form of content strategy revision might be called for to focus on the sources which are bringing maximum traffic to the website. 

Fun fact : You can monitor all this in Google Analytics under Acquisition > All Traffic > Channels.

7. Conversion rate

This is also termed as a conversion rate which is defined as how well the site’s visitors are converted into customers or leads generated. In the case of getting huge traffic and low conversion rates, this probably indicates that the conversion strategies of the site could have better yield than they presently achieve. For Google Analytics then, this data can be accessed under Conversions > Overview.

8. Top Pages

Page performance is also important so the pages that are performing better must be taken extra care. These could be pages that have either the highest percentage of conversions, or the highest/latest volume of visitors. Knowing which pages are doing well and why? helps you to make those existing pages of your site to do well based on the research you have of the existing high performing pages. Top pages can be monitored in Google Analytics through Landing Pages and Exit Pages under Behavior > Site Content.

Landing Pages:

These are the pages that users first enter on your website. These pages are frequently labeled as ‘First Impression Pages’ and as such they cannot be taken for granted even for an instance and must be in great shape.

Exit Pages:

These pages are the last pages which a visitor views immediately before leaving the website. As these pages are detrimental to the retention time of visitors, it’s necessary to acknowledge them and improve.

9. Keyword Ranking

Keyword ranking indicates the effectiveness of a particular website for a particular query to the search engines. While a drop in ranking can be scary, as long as the keywords are routinely monitored and updated, you can rest assured that your efforts to improve SEO are not in vain. Also, there are various tools used for monitoring keyword rankings.

Improve Keyword Ranking Fast

10. Average Session Duration

This refers to the average time spent by the visitors on your website during a single session. Longer sessions suggest greater willingness of users to buy your product or use your service. While analyzing this metric, businesses must understand the type of their website – For instance, the duration of a news website might have a shorter average session compared to an e-commerce website, because the readers might quickly go through the articles and move on

shoutout to everyone complaining and saying "well *i* can't see the changes to the code of the website, so TNT must be lying"

it is so painful to be a computer scientist in this community because you can immediately tell who doesn't know a damn thing

[galacticglitterglue]

it’s so fucking annoying getting recommended blogs and I’m like “oh sweet! a new fun blog to follow that posts ST things and other cool stuff!!” and then I’m immediately hit with the “I hate Billy Hargrove and if you stan him get the fuck off my blog and stop defending him and stop shipping him and stop trying to change canon and if you post anything about him or ship him get the fuck off my blog and LEAVE!!!” bullshit

girl… if a fictional character causes you that much fucking damage I suggest perhaps maybe filtering his name or blacklisting the tags, you don’t gotta straight up throw a fucking fit about it ???

theres plenty of fandoms or ships or characters I don’t like or don’t give a fuck about, and you know what I do? I just filter that shit out and go about my life. do I ever in my life wanna see content about Hamilton or SuperWhoLock or whatever? No!! do I rage about it and tell people to fuck off?? No!! I just block the tags and let people vibe with whatever the fuck they want to. Even in the ST fandom there’s characters and ships I don’t care for, but do I give a single fuck if people post about them? Hell no!! I just block the tags or filter posts that are focused on things I don’t care for.

The features are free and easy to use, AND you don’t have to be a dick about it either!! Like did we forget this is a fictional universe full of fictional characters that is a tv show and not real life??? Did we forget that these characters have no actual impact on basically anything besides the way you choose to let your ideas of them affect you??

I know this is literally just me screaming into the void, and it really means nothing, but all I can think about when I see people get super fucking pissed off and ANTI (insert whatever here) is this:

ironically i love thrifting but ive never thought about using ebay, do you have any tips or keywords you use on it to find deals and shifty stuff/wording to look out for?

honestly I don't find ebay to be shifty for buying stuff! people are scared about using it sometimes and I think it's a little funny lol I guess the tip would be that if you search for an item with vague enough terms, you'll get some SHEIN-esque mass produced clothes muddying the results. and you know it when you see it, because those listings look like shit btw. this type of thing:

like, these are real listings and everything, and you'd get the product, but they are obviously not what you're looking for. you can ignore these, but if you want to filter them out, you can just narrow the search to SPECIFICALLY pre-owned items.

There isn't really any wording to look out for-- the only other thing would just be to make sure the stuff you get can be returned, bc sellers can specify whether or not they'll take the items back!
