For abof, it is important to have a great aesthetic design and good content alongside a fast page load time. Researches have highlighted that websites with load times higher than 5-6 seconds can lead to increased bounce rate and much lower conversion. Online shoppers typically browse multiple categories and products before making a final purchase. Therefore, fast response times are an imperative. A delay of every second can lower the conversion rate by up to 7%.

The new improved version of abof has not only led to a great user experience, but has drastically improved the conversion rate of the website by over 60%. abof has witnessed an increase in page views by 21% anda reduction in bounce rate by 20%.

While great aesthetics and great content is important, abof identified that a fast loading website is a pre-requisite for great user experience," said Mr. Vikram Bhat, Chief Product officer, abof.com.
