Website speed and performance are at the forefront as many eCommerce brands try to secure conversions. Yet instantaneous and seamless site experiences can be compromised by unwanted traffic, data theft, and other security concerns. How can you integrate site speed, performance, and security to improve online shopping experiences and generate quality conversions?

According to web developer Ajay Kapur, unauthorized traffic and compromised data diminish site speed, resulting in a cumbersome user experience. CDN security removes unwarranted traffic and safeguards workflow data to free up your infrastructure. However, achieving instant website speed and above-average performance requires recreating retail shopping experiences and increasing available products by eliminating page load times. This optimized performance accelerates conversion rates and revenue per user.
