Why each option
Poor web application performance directly causes business harm through site abandonment, increased support costs, user churn, and revenue loss - but it does not cause security threats like DDoS attacks or identity theft.
A poorly performing website drives users away permanently, resulting in a site that generates little to no traffic as users seek faster alternatives. This outcome is a direct and measurable consequence of sustained performance degradation.
When users experience slow load times or application errors, they contact the support team for assistance, directly increasing call volume, support staffing costs, and operational overhead.
Users who repeatedly encounter performance problems abandon the application and migrate to competitor services, causing a quantifiable and often irreversible loss of the active user base.
Lost users and incomplete transactions - particularly in e-commerce or subscription-based services - translate directly into lost revenue, making poor performance a critical financial risk for the business.
DDoS attacks are externally initiated volumetric or protocol-based attacks launched by malicious actors and are not caused by or related to the internal performance characteristics of a web application.
Identity theft results from security vulnerabilities, data breaches, or credential compromise - none of which are caused by web application performance issues.
