Size Matter: How To Optimize Your WordPress Site
Let’s face it: we live in a world of instant gratification. People are so impatient; if they visit your website and the images do not load quickly, they will leave. It seems that those using a mobile device have even shorter attention spans. When your blog or site fails to load in five seconds, off they go.
