It’s amazing that marketers don’t discuss this simple and lucrative funnel fix more
often…

On this episode of Marketing Secrets, we have the last bit of knowledge Russell 
wants to share from the affiliate mastermind. This time it is a tip from Trevor 
Chapman. Here are some of the super informative things you will hear in today’s 
episode:

 * Why knowing that 68% of people leave a website before it’s finished loading is
   significant.
 * How you can increase conversion just by making your page load faster.
 * And how Clickfunnels can help you decrease your page loading times.

So listen here to find out how making your page load faster could significantly 
improve your conversion rates.

What’s up everybody, this is Russell Brunson and welcome to the last of the secrets
I want to share with you from the affiliate mastermind. This one has to do with 
page load times.

Okay, so I hope you have enjoyed some of the recaps we’ve shared this week. There’s
one more cool thing I wanted to share with you. I’m not going to actually show you
the video clip of it. But I do want to explain the concept because I think it’s 
pretty valid and I think it’s interesting and it’s something I’m going to be testing
and it’s worth it for all you guys as well.

So this actually came from Trevor Chapman, and Trevor is one of my inner circle 
members who was there. It’s interesting, he was talking about doing all sorts of
stuff with his funnels trying to figure things out and he ended up starting to put
Google analytics on stuff to look deeper at everything. And as he was looking at
analytics he was trying to figure it out and he couldn’t find someone, so he’s like,“
I gotta dig deep in this and try to figure some stuff out.”

And a couple of things he found that were interesting and I think it’s worth listening
to. So number one, he said that basically 68% of visitors, I don’t know if it was
his page or if it was an industry stat from Google analytics, but 68% of people 
leave the page before it finishes loading. So they see your ad, they click on it,
come over to the page, the page starts loading and 68% of them leave before the 
page finishes loading, which is interesting.

So he started going back in and started saying, “My page is loading too slow. I 
need to increase my page load speed. If I’m losing 68% of people before the page
even loads, that’s 2/3rds of my traffic or whatever the fraction is on that, never
even see my ad.” So he started doing stuff to lower things. Lowering the image size,
lowering page size, page structure, a bunch of stuff like that and increasing how
fast the page loaded. And he got his, I can’t remember how much he decreased the
load time, but from 25-30 seconds down to 10 seconds, down to 5 seconds. And as 
he did that he 2-3x’d his income. Not by changing the page or ad or anything, just
by reducing, increasing the page load time, which was super fascinating.

In fact, he kind of mocked, he teased me because the clickfunnels.com homepage right
now, I don’t think I ever optimized those images, but it takes almost 30 full seconds
to load the entire page, and he’s like I bet you 68% of people never see that thing.
I’m like, “That sucks.” So that was kind of interesting.

Then he made another observation that for me was super fascinating. He talked about
how people like me say ugly pages convert better, or your page….a webinar registration
page without a video on it increase conversation rates and all sorts of stuff. He’s
like, “I always thought it was because ugly pages convert better. No, the problem
is a lot of times pretty pages take way longer to load.” You’ve got beautiful background
images and a video file and all that kind of stuff just takes longer to load. That’s
why people are leaving.

Where with the ugly ones, it’s just html code, there’s text and some stuff, they
load faster and therefore instead of 68% of people leaving, it maybe drops down 
to 23%. You’re getting twice as much traffic just by increasing the load speed time.
I thought that was fascinating and interesting. So I’m going to be doing some more
testing, but I wanted to share with you guys, with everyone as your doing it, because
I don’t know 100%, I take everything with a grain of salt, but I do think he’s onto
something. I do think the page load time is interesting.

I do know on the Clickfunnels side, this is something that should be comforting 
to you guys, Todd spends time every single month trying to decrease page load speed
on our side, doing stuff to optimize the pages, get the code out faster, all those
kind of things so that page load is happening faster. In fact, I’ve seen over the
last probably year, I’ve seen him shave across network wide, tens of millions of
pages  that people view every single day on ours, shaving time off by multiple seconds.

So we’re always optimizing on our side. But you guys as you’re building pages in
Clickfunnels, just know that. Know that, man if I have a background image, how big
is that file? If it’s 3 megs and I got 3 of those things, that’s 9 megs just in 
background images. That’s not good, especially when you’re pulling it on your phone
or mobile. It gets really, really bad. In fact, we just created a new tool inside
Funnel University, for those of you who are Funnel U members, it should be there
by the time you’re here. But it’s an image re-sizer. I had Dorel on my team build
a little software app where basically you take a background image, throw it in this
thing and what it’ll do is take an image that’s like 3 or 4 megs, you’ll click a
button and it’ll pop the image back out, it looks exactly the same but it decreases
the image size from 3 or 4 megs to like 300 megabytes or whatever, 1/10th the size.

So I’m going  back to all my old images, my e-cover image, my picture image, any
image I upload in Clickfunnels, I have on a page, I’m putting back through that 
thing and shrinking the size of it to increase page load time. Just know, those 
are things you should be looking at because, man, if you can increase your conversion
by 10%, 20% 30% just by images loading faster, that’s a lot of money without having
to write better copy or any of those kinds of things. Just page load time.

So Trevor Chapman, thanks for bringing that top of mind to me. And hopefully everyone
who’s listening on the podcast, it’s something definitely worth doing. And it’s 
something you should all look at.

With that said, I hope you guys enjoyed this episode of Marketing Secrets podcast.
