A key tool to maximize website lead generation is live chat. BoatChat is an industry pioneer with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatchat.com\/managed-chat\/\">managed chat<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatchat.com\/software\/\">chat software<\/a> that has been scientifically tested to the smallest detail.<\/p>\n<p>One of the many critical factors of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boatchat.com\/\">chat software<\/a> on all devices is to minimize the impact on page load speeds. Google&#8217;s search results tend to favor websites which load quickly. Pages with excessively long loading times tend to rank lower than their competitors. Numerous website development companies have identified chat software plugins <em>&#8211; especially the most popular free live chat plugins &#8211; <\/em>as a key cause of slower page loads and credit BoatChat engineers with high-performance code that has no measurable impact on page load speed, especially on mobile boat dealer websites.<\/p>\n<p>Another tale of caution for live chat is to beware of cannibalized leads from contact forms. BoatChat has been carefully tested to ensure website lead counts dealer websites already generate aren\u2019t compromised by obnoxious and intrusive chat invites.<\/p>\n<h2>SignalR Servers Increase Reliability<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3803\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatchat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/SignalR-BoatChat-300x103.jpg\" alt=\"BoatChat SignalR eliminates dropped chats\" width=\"300\" height=\"103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatchat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/SignalR-BoatChat-300x103.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.boatchat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/SignalR-BoatChat-460x158.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.boatchat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/SignalR-BoatChat.jpg 475w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Probably the most critical performance factor with chat on mobile is chat conversations that end just like a dropped call with JabbR 1-way communication. BoatChat leads the industry with next-generation SignalR server technology that maintains a two-way chat connection, and increased reliability by 20 percent over JabbR old-school tech. It\u2019s one instance which retro just isn\u2019t cool.<\/p>\n<p>There are a dozen other critical performance factors that impact success with live chat on mobile devices and overall, but these are a
