We have encountered a number of e-commerce sites which have been hosted on poorly configured servers or overseas servers which has resulted in a high bounce rate of customer checking out orders. Google also penalises extremely slow sites.
Therefore it is important to use a good quality server - for most of our clients we prefer to host on quality servers, not only for the speed but the responsiveness of support.
Slow site? - contact NZJoomla to see how we can help.
