📖 Terms & Definitions

Understanding key web development and performance terms used in this report:

Conversion Rate

The percentage of website visitors who complete a desired action (purchase, contact form, phone call). Example: If 100 people visit and 3 make a purchase, the conversion rate is 3%. Higher is better.

Bounce Rate

The percentage of visitors who leave your website after viewing only one page. A high bounce rate (60-80%) means people aren't finding what they need. Lower is better.

Page Load Time

How long it takes for your website to fully display. Slow sites (5-10 seconds) frustrate visitors and hurt sales. Fast sites (1-3 seconds) keep customers engaged.

Mobile Score

Google's rating (0-100) of how well your site works on phones and tablets. Scores below 50 mean poor mobile experience. Above 85 is excellent and helps with Google rankings.

SSL/HTTPS

Security certificate that encrypts data between your website and visitors. Shows a padlock icon in the browser. Required for customer trust and Google rankings. Your site currently lacks this.

Responsive Design

Website automatically adjusts layout to fit any screen size (phone, tablet, desktop). Essential since 60%+ of web traffic is mobile.

Lazy Loading

Images load only when needed (as you scroll down), not all at once. Makes pages load much faster, especially important for product pages with many images.

Pagination

Splitting content across multiple pages (Page 1, 2, 3...). Instead of showing 687 products on one page, show 24 per page. Improves load speed and user experience.

CDN (Content Delivery Network)

Network of servers worldwide that deliver your website faster to visitors regardless of their location. Like having copies of your store in multiple cities.

CMS (Content Management System)

Software that lets you easily add, edit, or remove products and content without coding knowledge. Like WordPress or Shopify. Essential for managing 1,075+ products.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

Techniques to help your website rank higher in Google search results. Better SEO means more people find your site when searching for badges, rings, or custom jewelry.

Dedicated Hosting

Your website has its own server (not shared with others). Faster, more secure, and more reliable than shared hosting. Like owning a house vs. renting an apartment.
