Lets say that you have done a great guest post so that you can bring in some traffic back to your blog through that guest post.

The readers from that blog enjoyed reading what you have written for that blog. They want to know more about you or get more great blogging tips from you.

Readers have decided to click on the links that you have left in your guest post to visit your blog.

They sit at their computers and after 1 minute and a few seconds, your blog finally loads.

How do you think that these first time visitors will feel?

What sort of impression do you think is placed on these first time visitors?

Not a good first impression!

Some of these first time visitors might not even wait for your blog to load, they might even leave. So right there and then you start to lose traffic to your blog.

The faster your blog loads then the more traffic you will have on your blog.
