Fast Simon Boosts eCommerce Storefront Speed to Improve Shopper Experience and SEO
25 Abril 2024 - 8:00AM
Fast Simon, the leader in AI-powered shopping optimization, today
announced the general availability of Smart Rendering, which
improves page load speed for better shopper experience and search
engine optimization (SEO).
In a saturated eCommerce environment, merchants can’t afford to
meet the average page load speed. A study of more than 100 million
page views found eCommerce sites that load in one second had a
conversion rate two and a half times higher than sites that load in
five seconds. Slower websites may even be penalized by Google when
shoppers abandon carts and purchase from a faster site.
Fast Simon Smart Rendering combines several
performance-enhancing technologies for collections and site search,
including server-side rendering (SSR). This lets shoppers
experience visibly faster page loading and switch between pages
quickly. This faster user experience improves the store’s core
vitals which in turn impacts SEO. Historically, deploying SSR has
required extensive internal development and financial resources.
Now, Fast Simon customers can leverage this technology without any
development via the platform’s No-Code Editor.
“We’ve seen significant improvements in site performance, user
engagement and SEO ranking for sites that have adopted Fast Simon
Smart Rendering,” said Zohar Gilad, co-founder and CEO of Fast
Simon. “The platform's efficient smart rendering is game-changing
for shopper satisfaction and business metrics.”
“We pride ourselves on exceptional
customer service and plant care information. Our shoppers want a
convenient, personal and highly informative shopping experience
that’s in stark contrast to the big-box store experience,” said
Chris Link, co-owner of Plant Addicts. “Fast Simon was simple to
deploy, and online site performance increased 50 percent —
delivering the very best experience for shoppers looking for the
perfect plant.”
Benefits of Fast Simon Smart Rendering:
- Significantly improves collection and search page load time on
desktop and mobile.
- Improves SEO through faster real user experience as measured by
Core Vitals.
- Accelerates time to market and reduces development costs with
Fast Simon’s No-Code Editor.
“Typically, we see the highest conversion, AOV and engagement
coming from the organic channel,” said Ben Oren, CEO of Pinetree
Marketing, which specializes in SEO for eCommerce. “Making
eCommerce sites faster will definitely improve it even more on top
of other traffic channels."
