Is your Ruby on Rails site slow?

Slow sites cost you money!

It is now well understood that the quicker a website loads the more likely it is that a user will convert.

The site WPO stats has numerous studies demonstrating the importance of web performance.

This article on Cloudfare's site has some concrete numbers, claiming that "Walmart found that for every 1 second improvement in page load time, conversions increased by 2%"

There are a myriad of reasons why your ruby on rails site might be slower than it could be:

• Your images might be too large (unoptimised)
• Your pages might be loading resources from other slow sites (resources such as javscript, fonts etc)
• Your hosting might not be powerful enough.
• You might have some inefficient database queries slowing things down.
• and so on...
