Rant Alert ** Are page load times on Unbounce killing your conversion rates?

Amir, Have your conversions suddenly stopped just today? That’s happening on my Adwords campaign too. Zero conversions today vs the last 30 days. Although why do you think your load times are worse after you relaunched vs before?

Rant Alert ** Are page load times on Unbounce killing your conversion rates?

Makes me wonder how reliable the FF/IE tests are, there shouldn’t be such a huge difference.I still get 8-10 seconds when using the FF or IE options - after multiple tests on different days and different times.

Phillip, You’re absolutely right. I tested and retested multiple times after my original post above and it appears that  using the Firefox or IE options on these websites, the results are far worse for me. Chrome seems much better. Though even on Chrome I get about 1.7 to 1.9 seconds which seems really high for a page that is < 100 KB (not including Unbounce auto-added scripts). I’d love to get that down to sub 1 second on mobile.

Roy, If you don’t mind, can you test your Unbounce page on webpagetest.org using “cable 5/1 mbps” and Gtmetrix.com using throttling at “cable 5/1 mbps” and let me know what results you get?

Upload Files (Images, Documents) into the Form

Carter, I fully realise that I’m replying to a 3 year old msg. I think Unbounce is now old enough that it needs to start explaining why it decided not to implement certain features. There are a whole bunch of unaddressed feature issues & qns which no one from Unbounce has explained why they cannot be achieved. Makes one wonder whether the focus is on product and technical superiority OR on growth and marketshare. Impossible to do both at the same time… Believe me, giving a good technical explanation why something is not technically possible (with real world examples for your artistic friends like me or those who are even less tech savvy) is better than not answering the question. And there are *many* unanswered qns on the community.

Stuart, All the best, kick some CRO ass. Since you’ve just joined Unbounce, maybe there’s hope for you yet. 😉 Anyway, check out something no one on Unbounce will ever admit to - https://community.unbounce.com/unboun…

Unable to edit the above so adding updates here-  Why doesn’t Unbounce automatically do the following? Aren’t these no-brainers? I don’t think they’d affect the page functionality at all. They can only help by reducing page load and render times. Add image attributes to the html enable browser caching Specify a Vary: Accept-Encoding header?  4. Defer parsing of JavaScript? Enable gzip compression  Minify HTML, CSS and JS

Option to Render "Custom HTML "

The ability to render custom html in-app would be a huge deal. We could use paste a design using more efficient html code than the gui comes up with and make minor tweaks to the design within Unbounce. This would reduce page load or render times which can only help. Plus everything else that we can do in html that Unbounce doesn’t have a built in option for. I really like this feature idea and hope it gets added, too bad it doesn’t seem to have many “likes.”

LP is messed up on JS-disabled browsers

Thanks for trying to help, Stuart. Even if I create a new LP without adding any scripts and I manually disable jQuery, etc. Unbounce will still use some scripting by default for form validations and submissions. (EDIT: And the page alignment/width issue is just weird.) I’ll go ahead and create a support ticket to get help on this.

LP is messed up on JS-disabled browsers

Stuart - Yes to all of the above, unfortunately. I know how to add a noscript meta tag to redirect as mentioned in my original question. My page is already mobile responsive and the mobile version has the form set at 300 px width. No offense - but you’re giving me suggestions I’ve already addressed above or am already aware of. 🙂 And why doesn’t the form submission work without JS enabled? Something’s broken with the way Unbounce delivers pages to non-JS browsers - it’s messing up the page width/alignment and the form submission. So the question remains - - how do I create a 100% non-JS page in Unbounce? Everything seems to be JS dependent by default.

Also - it’s estimated that Opera Mini has a 5% market share. That’s a potential loss of 5% of conversions. Cannot ignore that! EDIT: Those emulators are pretty accurate. See attached screenshot from the actual Opera mini browser on my smartphone. EDIT 2: There’s no reason why a user should have to scroll horizontally. The content can easily fit in 300 px wide. I need to fix this somehow.

Stuart, That is exactly what I intend to do. I want to create a basic page that renders with page elements aligned properly and where the forms work without JS. That brings me back to my question - how do I do that in Unbounce? Everything seems to be JS dependent by default.

LP is messed up on JS-disabled browsers

Stuart, Thanks for the quick reply. The primary issues appear to be (a) the alignment of page elements for mobile and (b) form submission for desktop doesn’t work. See attached mobile screenshots. I know hardly anyone uses Opera but the salient point is that the same issues would likely exist on any browser without JS enabled. And who’s to say how many visitors don’t have JS enabled? I wouldn’t want to lose even 5% of potential conversions. If you want to test it, please use only this URL to avoid skewing my meagre stats. 🙂 https://refinance.certysfinancial.com/a.html and please don’t submit the form on the next page that loads. On desktop chrome with JS disabled  - Text styles are off but otherwise the page looks ok. But a  big problem is the form doesn’t submit. 2) Opera mobile on my smartphone with JS enabled - this looks fine, works fine.   3) Opera Mini Emulator - looks bad but form seems to work 4) Opera Mobile emulator  (I’m assuming JS is disabled) - looks bad and f

A/B Tests should show average page load time for each variant

Yes, you’re right. EDIT: Though I’d personally much rather have server-side stats than use something like GA.

A/B Tests should show average page load time for each variant

Of course I have. 🙂 But I’m referring specifically to A/B tests. When comparing a control to a variant, we should factor in what the avg page load time was for each variant. Or even better the %age of visitors to a particular variant whose page load was above 1 sec, then above 2 secs, then above 3 secs, and so on. Otherwise we could think that A is better than B because of copy/colors/design, etc. when maybe for some reason A just loaded faster for most people and that made a difference? We assume there shouldn’t be a significant difference between A/B variants in page load timings, but who knows? Internet technology is hardly consistent on that front. EDIT: Joe, I realize now that maybe you meant track the avg speed for each variant on Google Analytics. Looking into how to do that now. Thanks.

Looking for ad & LP copy ideas for PPC landing page - How to play up "family-run" company?

Michael, The ideas are far from unsupported. Everyone from Harvard Business Review to Forbes has studies showing people “generally” trust family owned businesses more. The only questions are whether they apply to my business and to my industry. Thanks for your inputs, though. Will keep them in mind.

How To Add A "Confirm Navigation - Are you sure you want to leave this page " Form To Your Landing Page?

I found www.picreel.com to be more affordable than Rooster and with better features too. Plus they have a full featured free plan which works without a credit card. Sorry, I wouldn’t vote for Rooster.

Looking for ad & LP copy ideas for PPC landing page - How to play up "family-run" company?

Michael, Thanks for your reply.  This is for a lead generation landing page. I haven’t done any research, I just want to split test it to see if conversions are better. 2.  My current landing page just has a headline with one description line below it. There are multiple versions of headlines and descriptions but all are variations of the following and all focus Headline: FHA Streamline Refinance in Pennsylvania Description line:  Low Refinance Home Loan Rates The page itself allows visitors to enter their information to get a quote. I want to change the description line or possibly leave the description as is, but add another line elsewhere on the page. 3. To be clear, it isn’t the “family-run” that I’m worried about. It’s how to frame it in a sentence. Just looking for ideas on the right sentence or two.
