How important is site speed?

How fast your site loads can affect you in multiple ways, ranging from your users impatiently clicking away while waiting for your site to load to search engines penalizing your site for slow speeds.

Testament to this is the fact that your hosting company will charge you more depending on number of visitors, site size, and the amount of bandwidth (speed) you want to make available to your readers.

Site speed is impacted by many factors and one of them is content delivery. Using what is referred to as a content delivery network (or CDN) helps by:

  • Delivering your content from high-speed and dedicated data centers.
  • More files can be downloaded simultaneously by the browser.
  • Distributed data centers (ie in different geographic locations) improve download speeds and provide redundancy.
  • By distributing load and save bandwidth you reduce your existing hosting costs (or keep them in check).

Jetpack comes with a free CDN called Photon. What’s not to like?
