Customers Experienced 50 Percent Increase in Performance and Core Vitals With Fast Simon Smart Rendering
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.
