People doesn’t like to wait to browse your online catalog, so performance is the very first element that will make a difference. You have a nice site but it takes too long? forget it, the worse but faster will finally get the trasnaction

So let’s visit gomez.com and try the free performance test (it will be sent to you in 24 hs.)

Don’t forget to visit their retail benchmarks (are interesting)

But performance is not all, what happen if your site is hitted by 5000 unique visitors? try it with loadimpact.com. The free test is very good! look at the zappos.com test I made today.

When there try also the Page Analyzer it’s also great (look at zappos.com page analysis I made)
