Acceleration by 1 second increases the conversion rate by 20%.

Acceleration by 2 seconds increases conversion by 30%.

Improve position in the TOP by accelerating MODx

Moreover, there is an additional advantage. Speed of MODx is directly related to behavioral factors that adversely affect the ranking of a website in search results.

Image optimization is the most simple and effective method to speed up MODx

By optimizing the images it is possible to significantly reduce the total amount of data (in bytes) that is loaded on the page. For example, total page size is reduced to 2 MB from 20 MB. Page capacity of 2 MB will load much faster than the previous version of the page with a volume of 20 MB. This is exactly how MODx download is accelerated.
