Economic Drag

Financial quantification of latency and canvas loss backed by peer-reviewed empirical research.

Estimated Annual Drag$1.7B

Deloitte Digital Benchmark

+8.4% CVR Lift

A 0.1s (100ms) improvement in mobile site speed yielded an 8.4% conversion rate progression lift in retail and 10.1% in travel.
