One of the most common questions we hear from businesses large and small is, “How could I realize if/when my company needs a new website?”This is a very tough question, as it totally depends upon the company’s performance.
Suppose you own a business and you have a website also but you don’t know that it is the proper time to upgrade or not. According to the continuous updating technology your website become outdated, bluffing user experience and too many 404 errors.

We are providing you seven signs when you need a new business website.
1) Google loves speed on Website
Google has acknowledged that speed is a ranking factor for searches on all devices, with a 2018 Speed Update that placed more weight on speed for mobile searches.
Whether your audience search for your website on desktop or smartphone and If your website takes over six seconds to load when visitors land on the site, it is likely that you are losing traffic. Research shows that about half of visitors searching for information spend only ten seconds or less on a website before deciding whether or not to move on to the next one to find what they need.
If you search on Google Analytics page timings data, or test your site with tools like Google’s own PageSpeed Insights and find out that the pages of your website are performing poorly this must be fixed with speed optimizations like these tips from Moz. If most of your website is suffering from slow load times, it might be time to address the bigger picture.
2) Your site must be Mobile Responsive
In recent times everyone carries mobile phones but those are not being used only for phone calls or text messages. More than sixty percent worldwide use their phones for searching for some information via mobile technology.
You own a website but it is not updated. If you check your site on a mobile device and the content falls apart, or becomes broken, trying to fit onto a mobile screen — that’s a poor user experience, and Google will notice that is a good chance that you are losing customers and being penalized by search engines with a lower standing in search engine results pages (SERPs).
