In the conversation, Finkelstein explains that website performance determines whether visitors become customers. Slow pages, unclear navigation, and systems that can't handle demand can reduce the impact of marketing campaigns.

“Ads are really important, but they're only the first step. If you don't have a good way to catch people and convert that sale, it's just burning money on ad spend,” he told DesignRush's Kia Johnson.

In this episode, he discusses:

  • How website performance affects purchases and advertising costs
  • How traffic spikes reveal infrastructure weaknesses
  • How organic search drives sustained visibility
  • How structure, content clarity, and user expectations influence conversions

He also shares examples from his experience working with large energy providers, manufacturing companies, and enterprise technology organizations.
