Accessing your website on the go

A fast, easy-to-use, elegant website will help your chiropractic business to stand apart from your competitors, and build trust in you and your services. In addition to being a better experience for your customers, a faster website can improve where you appear in search.

The truth is that site speed affects many key areas of your website:
- How many pages your visitors look at.
- How long they spend on your website.
- How likely they are to leave after they’ve clicked on a page.
- And, most importantly, how likely they are to contact you to arrange for an appointment.
It’s in your best interests to have a site that’s optimized for speed and makes it easy for your potential clients to find and use your chiropractic business. In fact, there’s evidence that a 1 second delay in page load times could result in a 7% decrease in the number of people that contact you through your website.
