60% of global internet traffic, and over 5 hours of average daily mobile screen time in South Africa alone.
Yet, many businesses still rely on desktop-focused sites, thinking it’s enough.
The result?
A huge chunk of your potential customers struggling with slow-loading pages, awkward navigation, and rage inducing checkout processes
For every second your site takes to load, you’re losing impatient customers to competitors who have a seamless mobile experience.
The numbers don’t lie: if you’re not optimized for mobile, you’re potentially cutting off nearly half of your audience.
Even worse, you could be spending money on ads that drive traffic, only to lose those visitors due to a poor mobile experience.
Every business with a subpar mobile experience will continue to miss out if they don’t adapt now.
The Good News?
Mobile optimization doesn’t have to be complicated.
Start by simplifying navigation, speeding up load times, and ensuring your checkout process is smooth and easy to use on any screen size.
These small adjustments have a huge impact on your bottom line, boost conversions, increase engagement, and turn casual browsers into loyal customers.
In a market where mobile traffic dominates and ecommerce continues to grow, optimizing for mobile isn’t just a strategy—it’s the key to staying competitive.
Whether you’re targeting the 32.55 million current ecommerce users or the 6.38 million more expected by 2024, a fast, user-friendly mobile experience will be what sets you apart from your competition.
Your business’s success in 2024 and beyond will depend on one thing: how well you adapt to the mobile-first world.
Don’t let your site be the reason your customers leave without hitting ‘buy’.
Everything you need to succeed is right here at your fingertips, all it takes is that next step.
