Ecommerce Vendors Challenge

This month, we elected to look at eCommerce vendors, and also compare not only desktop page speed load times, but mobile as well.*  As a benchmark, rather than just using our own website, we decided to run with Google's "Think with Google" website, which we've reported on in the past.  As Google is the one "beating the drum" as it were for fast loading mobile experiences, it seems appropriate.

*Page speed load performance is carried out using gtmetrix.com page speed testing software.

DESKTOP

An effort has been made since June's report, we're now recording 7.5s, a nearly 50% improvement. It's a Grade E and still has plenty of work to do.

DESKTOP

Yikes! 13.5s leaves BC in big lag times. BigCommerce  ends up in last place if you review the results of both desktop and mobile.

MOBILE
A reversal in luck for mobile, recorded at 28.8s compared to 20.1s in June. Grade F, there's no big promises for mobile commerce here.

JUNE 2018

MOBILE
Ouch! 20.1s for mobile and 13.5s for desktop makes BigCommerce a Big "NO" from us. We tested a few of their customer websites last month and shared the report on social media  - the customer websites proved to be slow as well.

AMP’d WordPress Hosting

When it comes to finding the right web host for your WordPress or Woocommerce website, it’s important that your hosting company is an expert in their chosen profession.

We’re WordPress website designers, web developers and our network admins are extremely talented with WordPress too.

We’ve configured our web servers specifically for this leading content management system.

cPanel Controls

In our opinion, cPanel for customer access to administer their website, domain and email as well as other tasks is the best.

Not only are they headquartered out of Houston, we’ve retained staff that have worked with this leading provider in the past.

It’s a super easy way for you to manage your hosting account and you can login directly from your account at Browserweb.

 

 

We’ve Backed You Up

One daily backup, one weekly backup and one monthly backup, should disaster happen and you haven’t backed up your website, we’ve got your back.

Accidents do happen, even though you have several methods of backup available on your own, from cPanel to using a cloud provider or a WordPress backup plugin to focus just on the website content and database itself.

We’ve seen it happen and rescued many websites that did not have any backup or the backup they had was infected or damaged. Rest assured, we have regular backups to enable roll back and restoration of your website if necessary.
