How to Prevent your Website from Poor Loading?

Are you trying to improve your website loading speed?

Wondering how to connect more users to your website?

In this blog you will find how to improve your digital web presence through Content Delivery Network and benefits of fast loading websites.

Your website represents you, your business, and everything your brand stands for. In business today, maintaining an impressive digital presence can be a real strong suit or a major pit fall. Internet users and visitors to your site want instant gratification and seem to all-together lack both patience and forgiveness. If your site is slow to load, users quickly close out the page. If your site seems dated or simply unappealing, users just lose interest and disengage.

If you’re looking to improve your business’s digital presence, profitability, and reputation it’s essential that your site provide fast, high-quality, and secure online user participation and transactions. With high performance websites your customers’ experiences are consistently enhanced with content loading and impressive page responsiveness. The quickest way to an impressive digital presence is through a Content Delivery Network and with solutions from almost every top provider in the industry there’s an ideal solution for your business.

Content Delivery Networks go beyond simply making sure your data gets where it needs to; they ensure that your data is delivered in the most efficient way to a wide range of connected devices.

Benefits of a Quick Site:

• A Lasting Impression : When your website surpasses expectations and provides a favorable user experience, visitors are not only more likely to come back, but also more likely to spread the word to business associates, partners, family, and friends all building credibility for your brand.
• Efficient Transactions : Slow loading sites not only disengage users but slow down and reduce transactions. Reduced and slower transactions directly lose you business and potential customers.
• Security : Secure sites create better experiences for both your business and users. Customers and site users are more likely to come back and feel safe while navigating through your site.
• Planning ahead : Establish a well-run, well-managed site prepares your business for the future as maintaining a digital presence is only going to become more important.

Limelight Content Storage

As a business owner you are constantly working at the back end of your business. You are behind the scenes developing your product or your service – not to mention managing your team. But, we all know that your product or service is worth nothing without customers and clients. For this reason, it is crucial that you take the time to put yourself in your customer’s shoes. You need to be sure that you are providing them with a seamless and efficient experience. Without this, no one will be purchasing your product offerings. In the past, effective customer interactions were driven by a good customer service team and a thoughtfully designed storefront. However, as you know times are changing and the new ‘face’ of your company is often your website. In many ways this is great news for business owners. Running a business today requires less staff and perhaps even less real estate. Many businesses function primarily (and some even exclusively) from websites. Hopefully your business has been able to embrace this change. In this article we would like to introduce you to a tool that can enhance your web presence and ultimately increase customer satisfaction and revenue.

Limelight Content Storage is a tool that is employed to speed the delivery of your rich content to the end user. For example, you may be in the clothing manufacturing business. You want to create a visually appealing website to sell your clothes, with 360 degree views of the models and maybe even a video or an interactive dressing room – all additions to enhance the site and entice customers. This is great. Customers today are drawn to media rich websites but these same customers also have very high expectations of websites and do not have the patience to wait for slow video buffering or error messages. How do you avoid this? At first you may think that it is best to simplify your site, but you don’t have to. Limelight Content Storage takes all of your website’s rich content and hosts it in the Cloud – as close as possible to the end user.

If you use Limelight Content Storage your data will have a shorter distance to travel to reach your potential customer. Even though these few seconds and milliseconds seem insignificant, with the expectations of end-users a few milliseconds could be the difference between a sale and a missed opportunity. Consider your own experiences as a consumer on the Internet; when you navigate to site that does not seem to be loading properly or stalls a bit do you find yourself quickly navigating away? With so much business competition out there you need to ensure that your delivery is not detracting clients. Limelight Content Storage gives you that leg up on the competition and helps get you in the door so that customers have an opportunity to see your product.

Please contact us today for more information on Limelight Content Storage services.

Level 3 Content Delivery Network

As a business owner you know that customer service is key when trying to sell a product or advertise a service. It is easy to get consumed with the daily operations of running your business – you have employees to manage, vendors to work with, pitches to make, emails to return, the list goes on and on. But, really your customers are the most essential element of your business. You need to appeal to, service and satisfy your customers to earn revenue. In this article I would like to discuss the importance of providing your online customers with the highest quality customer service possible. We will go on to discuss the unique ways that you can enhance your customer’s experience in today’s web driven marketplace by using the Level3 Content Delivery Network.

When establishing a web presence for your business it is important to prioritize. First of all, you want to establish a clear identity for your business and a functioning site to support consumers whether they are researching your service or purchasing your product directly from the site. Then, of course, you want to enhance the appeal of your site. This is often done with streaming content – perhaps engaging videos or interactive programming. And, this is often where the problems arise for business websites. If we enhance our website with rich high-quality content then we need to remember to enhance our delivery at the same time. If we don’t provide fast and flawless content delivery then consumers will be on to the next site before they even have a chance to engage with our site’s great content (We all know that consumers are incredibly impatient when it comes to watching download progress bars). Level3’s Content Delivery Network offers a two-pronged solution to this. Level3 brings together Edge Distribution and Website Acceleration technologies to deliver advanced content to your end users quickly and effectively.

Level3 Edge Distribution

Level3 has established a network of Content distribution servers on top of their fiber backbone and across five continents. The Level3 caching platform is able to accelerate content delivery as much as 70 percent. Also it is important to note that even with the use of these content distribution servers your content is secure. Level3 offers DDoS mitigation services and also uses SSL encryption mechanisms.

Level3 Website Acceleration

Level3 uses website acceleration technologies to render your site instantly. This is crucial, as a quick page load keeps customers engaged. These technologies also aid in the quick and complete delivery of your web page to mobile devices.

Level3 has been perfecting their content distribution network for the past 17 years and they continue to evolve with the ingenuity and innovation of modern technology. If you are interested in bringing Level3’s advanced technology to your business please contact us today at Fastblue.
