Did you wonter what percentage of internet traffic is mobile? When we look at the facts we see that: 69% of people in the US admit to using the internet at least several times a day. Much more compared to the years before smartphones and tablets took over!

Studies show that you are going to want to hit that button after just 2 seconds! Over 47% of users believe websites should load in under 2 seconds. And for each second that passes – your conversion rates will drop 7%. People are IMPATIENT! Remember that.
