And now for something a bit light-hearted for your Friday… Love them or hate, cats are everywhere in our online world. How much of the Internet is cat-related? What about cats versus dogs on the Internet? Would the world stop turning if cats no longer appeared online? ;)

We have been receiving messages such as “What’s the point exactly of what you do?”, “Aren’t there already lots of similar tools on the market?” and “Who the heck are you anyway?!” Let’s try to answer these and other questions now. :)

It’s a competitive world in both the real and virtual arena. We know all it. There are a huge number of websites on the World Wide Web. That number is never going to get smaller. It’s important to stay ahead. Competitors push you to achieve more. How do you know how well they are doing? It would be nice to know, wouldn’t it? It would be nice to know if your own performance is measurable too, of course. Getting a free independent measurement of your website’s performance isn’t just useful, it’s crucial.

News is very important to us all. It has always been important for us humans to learn about what is happening in the world around us. News in print form had many disadvantages such as the real-time nature of news compared with the slowness of print media. Delivery of the news has always been a crucial factor in keeping people informed. Online news has changed forever the way we receive the news.

It’s important to set goals in our everyday lives. Goals for our personal lives and goals for our work lives. With regard to work life, we often use Key Performance Indicators. Of course, not all goals are achieved, but the intention of setting any goal is to do our level best to achieve them.

In the fast-paced Information Age it’s important to know if the speed of your website is enough to keep your visitors happy. It’s no secret that people leave a site if it’s too slow, which means a loss of business. In the race to stay ahead of your competitors’ products, services and resources, is your site measuring up? The first step in optimizing your website performance is to carry out a website speed test. There are a range of free places where you can do a speed test online. Let’s review the top 10 where you can test for errors, problems with website performance and do some general website performance monitoring and website performance comparison with your competitors.

Of course as with any software tool, whether it’s locally installed or running online, the backend is the car’s engine and the frontend is the steering and the dashboard. The complex data processing that goes on at the backend isn’t worth very much if the frontend isn’t easy to use and useful. At the end of the day people want the car to be a pleasure to drive and they, for the most part, aren’t too interested in what’s under the hood as long as the engine performs. The user interface should be something that engages and informs the user and is intuitive to use. It’s the Information Age. We are bombarded with information. Finding ways to present the data is of paramount importance.

As the adage goes, “Sex is like pizza. Even when it’s bad it’s still good.” The same cannot be said for the amount of ‘secs’ people have to wait for a webpage to load. If a webpage takes too many seconds to load, people will leave… it doesn’t even matter if the website is to order a pizza from. Your visitor will take their custom to another pizza delivery place, clothing shop, gift shop, insurance company, lighting store, jewelry shop, massage parlour, restaurant, grocery store...

It’s a useful and helpful thing to look upon your website as you would look upon your car. You want it to perform well in all conditions. You especially want it to not breakdown in heavy traffic. Your car is your method of conveyance. You probably also want it to be attractive. It doesn’t need to be a BMW X5, but you don’t want a broken down Trabant either. It should be ready when you need it the most. It would probably be nice also if it wasn’t the slowest car when compared to your neighbors’ cars.
