conducted by Forrester Reasearch , e-commerce sites are losing $1.1
to $ 1.3 million revenue each year due to customer's click away caused
by slow loading sites !!)

head section of your HTML code.Search engines need it to index your
site.( You will learn more about it in Promotion>Search engine page.
