You’ve heard it before, but it bears repeating: Visitors hate slow-loading sites. If a page takes more than a few seconds to load, visitors tend to move on to something else. So anything you can do to speed things up will only help you retain visitors.
The internet, we’re told, are supposed to make things easier. Socializing comes to mind, as does research (if you can dig your way through all the “fake news”). Collaboration is another. From project management systems to event coordination, the internet has been as essential as phones to communicate and work with others.

The other key to success is knowing when to quit.” These statements seem to contradict each other, but maybe the boss was on to something. Only by persistence, perhaps, will you get to the point where you know it’s time to quit.
And when it’s time to quit, it’s time to think about what to do with your website. Shutting down your website requires some advance planning and effort, and how you go about it depends to some degree on the reasons for quitting.
