How do I know how my website is performing in the first place?
There are a few general categories that your website should be tested for that will give you an overall idea of its current performance, and how successful it is at generating business.
Website speed
The speed of your website is important in many factors that you might not even know. For example, web speed has a massive impact on the number of users that will return to your website, and it even affects your rankings on Google. Establishing your page load speed will help you to understand whether you’re reaching visitors as well as you could, and whether those visitors are going to stick to your business or not.
Page visits
Discovering which pages of your website are visited and in which proportions is crucial in understanding how well your website is performing. You should be able to see a good flow of visitors through your most important conversion pages, such as your contact page, your checkout page, or your sign-up pages.

Learning about your website’s traffic will help you to understand how well focused your content is, and how likely you are to get more business from these visitors. With certain tools, you’re able to see details about your visitors such as where they’re from, how they arrived at your website, whether they stay on your website, and how many of them return to your website to understand more about your business.
SEO
Is your website ranking for search terms that are relevant? Learning more about your SEO rankings will really help you to see how many people are finding your business, how they’re doing so, and how focused the visitors are. With poor website SEO, it suggests that on-page optimisations need improving, and poorly targeted traffic that’s unlikely to convert on your website.
