Key Takeaways

• Digital strategy has gone from being the last thing people think about to the most important aspect of selling online.
• eCommerce grew more from March-May 2020 than it did in the previous 10 years.
• Over 150 Million people purchased online for the first time in 2020.
• Speed, stability, and security are non-negotiable if you want to grow your website. Peak conversion is no more than 2.7 seconds. Every 100 millisecond delay over that can reduce conversion by up to 7%.
