## The benefits of website optimization software

-   **Shorten webpage loading time:** Website optimization software helps improve page loading speeds by fixing common issues such as reducing server response time, minimizing redirects, and enabling file compression for web servers. 
-   **Offer targeted visitor experiences:** These tools can track the movement of visitors’ cursors to determine the sections of your website where they spent the most time. When visitors leave your website, the tool can trigger targeted offers based on the pages and content they viewed.
    
-   **Optimize listings:** Send website listings to major search engines, directories, and apps as per your target audience, and reflect content updates across all pages in one go. The software can find and remove duplicate listings to prevent search engine penalization.

-   **Competitor analysis:** Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of competitors with similar target audiences.
    
-   **Content management:** Monitor the accuracy and consistency of your content across multiple channels.
    
-   **Keyword research tools:** Discover and optimize relevant keywords for your website and specific pages.

## The cost of website optimization software

Most products in the market are priced on a “per user, per month” basis and can be divided into three pricing tiers based on their starting price.

**Price ranges\*:**

-   $3.49 - $21.98
    
-   $21.98 - $164.50
    
-   $164.50+
    

_\*The pricing included is for the entry-level/lowest-priced offering found on vendor websites on July 29, 2019. These ranges correspond to the 25th, 75th, and 100th percentiles of pricing information gathered from the vendor websites of sample products._

The above list summarizes pricing for the base plans of most products. An enterprise or premium product that is priced higher may include additional features such as problem area alerts and link management.

## Considerations when purchasing website optimization software

-   **Look for accelerated mobile pages (AMP) as a key feature:** The AMP open source initiative from Google removes bulky pictures and backend code to speed up webpages. Why does this matter? A one-second delay in page loading speed can reduce conversions by [seven percent](https://www.bigcommerce.com/ecommerce-answers/what-page-load-time-and-why-it-important/). On average, webpages typically take three seconds to load, versus AMPs, which can load in half a second.
    
-   **Ensure multi-device optimization capabilities:** A key criterion in multi-device optimization is dynamic serving, which allows websites to provide distinct content to mobile and desktop users. This is done by using different HTTP headers that help Google retrieve content relevant to the device that raised the query.

## Relevant website optimization software trends

-   [**Machine learning (ML) to detect spam links:**](https://www.searchenginejournal.com/seo-guide/machine-learning/#close) Search engines can use ML to evaluate the types of websites spam sites link to, the type of links these sites get, their link growth pattern, and if the pages that sell paid links tend to link to specific sites. Google currently uses ML algorithms to detect spam for Gmail with 99.9% accuracy by focusing on the quality, legitimacy, and relevancy of links.
    
-   [**Progressive web apps for faster browsing:**](https://rubygarage.org/blog/web-development-trends-2019) Native apps offer a better user experience than webpages but have a barrier to easy access as they need to be downloaded from an app store. And, while mobile sites are easier to access, they don’t always offer a great user experience. A progressive web app delivers an app-like experience without the usual barriers of an app; they can be accessed through mobile web browsers and function like a native app.
