In fact, according to a series of studies, it\u00a0only takes 0.05 seconds to your website visitors to decide if they remain on it or leave. And be sure,\u00a0once a visitor has left, it\u2019s almost impossible to bring them back.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Well, people judge a source\u2019s credibility and their perceptions are largely influenced by the way in\u00a0which a web page presents itself. The simple explanation behind this sort of behavior is that regardless\u00a0of any given search query (unless it\u2019s rather odd and obscure) there will be numerous results that fit\u00a0their specific search terms. In this scenario, you can\u2019t afford to convince your potential website\u00a0visitors that you\u2019re a reliable and legitimate source.<\/p>\n<p>The Internet consumer today is ruthless and cuts deep when they make their decisions. So why risk it?\u00a0To convince website visitors that your website is worthy under 0.05 seconds, follow the advice below.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>Security<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s obvious from the beginning if your website is secure or not, thanks to HTTPS. If visitors don\u2019t see the\u00a0\u201cS\u201d termination, you might end up losing visitors in an instant.<\/p>\n<p>To make your visitors remain on your page, you must pay extra attention to website security. The\u00a0internet is still a wild place and since your website is connected to it, you have to improve that\u00a0coordinate as fast as possible. Unsecured websites are a threat to potential visitors. The can easily send\u00a0and receive unencrypted data, data that can be used for less orthodox purposes if it reaches the hands\u00a0of the wrong person or entity. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheapwebdesign.co.uk\/blog\/how-to-secure-your-website\/\">Secure your website<\/a> if you want to be perceived as a reliable online\u00a0entity. Still not convinced that your website needs higher web security standards? Read why such\u00a0features are mandatory, below.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, let your web visitors know that their data is safe when visiting your website;<\/li>\n<li>Protect your website from malware;<\/li>\n<li>Stop phishing attempts via your website \u2013 it damages consumer trust;<\/li>\n<li>Boost SEO ranking;<\/li>\n<li>Protect your business from hacking attempts and endangering sensitive data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One of the simplest ways to ensure that your website is secure and let your visitors know it from the\u00a0beginning is by using <a href=\"https:\/\/weblizar.com\/blog\/migrating-http-to-https-infographics\/\">HTTPS<\/a>. While this may be seen as the most rudimental way of offering website\u00a0security, it works in all its simplicity. HTTPS is the encrypted and more secure web navigation method\u00a0that deters hackers from sealing credit card details, login details,\u00a0and other sensitive data that your\u00a0visitors might use on your website.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>Fast-loading pages<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Slow page speed is very likely to cause potential visitors to exit your website before even seeing its\u2019\u00a0design and content. Let\u2019s face it: we live in an era of speed and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/improve-your-websites-user-experience\">Internet users are impatient<\/a>. If it takes\u00a010 seconds only for your website to load, you\u2019re in big trouble. When visitors have to wait too long for a\u00a0page to load, they make emotional decisions. Anger and frustration emerge and they exit the page in a\u00a0matter of milliseconds.<\/p>\n<p>They then click on another result that may have a faster loading response. And the offer is quite\u00a0generous on search engines. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/220893869_A_Study_on_Tolerable_Waiting_Time_How_Long_Are_Web_Users_Willing_to_Wait\">The maximum amount a user is willing to wait for a page to lead is 5\u00a0seconds<\/a> so, if yours takes longer, this should be the first issue to look into. And that is the data coming<br \/>\nfrom a Google research from 2012. In 2019, people might be even less patient when it comes to\u00a0webpage load speed.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, when your website load speed is too slow, people are unlikely to even reach your page <a href=\"https:\/\/moz.com\/learn\/seo\/page-speed\">since it\u00a0affects SEO performance<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>Improve website design<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Almost 95% of the negative website feedback received by website owners was design-related. Of\u00a0course, this calls for modern and clean web design.<\/p>\n<p>Does your website look like it belongs to 2002? Well, it might be the perfect time to change that and\u00a0make it look more contemporary and cleaner. Fonts have to be either modern, either timeless for the\u00a0expected results. Avoid fonts like<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/457100\/killing-comic-sans-5-alternative-fonts-that-protect-your-dignity.html\"> Comic Sans at all costs<\/a> since these may make your website look, well, like a joke. Same with font color. You want to make sure that it is contrasting to the background, but\u00a0keep it professional.<\/p>\n<p>All pictures should have a modern and clean look, the colors used should be as neutral as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Another modern design element that will convince your visitors to stay on the page in less than 0.05\u00a0seconds is the ratio of the height and width of the screen. Opt for modern 16:9 screen ratio to achieve a\u00a0modern<a href=\"https:\/\/weblizar.com\/blog\/web-design-look-more-professional\/\"> web design<\/a> of your page.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>Mobile-friendly websites<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Being able to see online content on <a href=\"https:\/\/weblizar.com\/factors-mobile-seo-ranking-2017\">mobile devices<\/a> with the same quality as the desktop version shows\u00a0is important for more than 85% of Internet users today. If your website visitors have to pinch and zoom\u00a0on mobile pages to see the information on your website, say goodbye to that visitor forever. Responsive\u00a0mobile pages are a new standard in the industry. And if you don\u2019t have such features, you will lose plenty\u00a0of visitors.<\/p>\n<p>Only think of the amount of information that people search for nowadays by using their mobile devices.\u00a0It\u2019s common sense that you should have responsive mobile-friendly website pages.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>Attractive content and layout<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Well, you should think a bit further than the 0.05 seconds that it takes a visitor to decide if they stay on\u00a0your page or not. After that decision is made, make sure to keep your visitor engaged by offering\u00a0attractive website layout and content.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, if your <a href=\"https:\/\/weblizar.com\/blog\/4-design-hacks-that-skyrocket-your-conversion-rates\/\">website\u2019s<\/a> dropdown menus lead to other dropdown menus and so on, you can say\u00a0goodbye to those leads. This is unattractive and complicated when it comes to webpage layout and you\u00a0should avoid this. It only brings frustration and anger to potential visitors. Plus, if the content on your\u00a0page is poorly-written, unengaging and irrelevant, whoops, you lost another visitor!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Visitors While we were all taught not to judge based on appearances, when it comes to web pages, people still\u00a0discern between those based on their very first interaction.
