Page speed is a measurement of how fast the content on your page loads.
Page speed is often confused with "site speed," which is actually the page speed for a sample of page views on a site. Page speed can be described in either "page load time" (the time it takes to fully display the content on a specific page) or "time to first byte" (how long it takes for your browser to receive the first byte of information from the web server).

5 major reasons why page speed is important:

1. Search engines are businesses.
2. User experience matters.
3. Engagement metrics make a difference.
4. In ecommerce, especially, time is money.
5. Slow page speed affects crawl budget.
