Effect of Span-Loading on Aircraft Performance

As I understand it aspect ratio is the ratio of the wingspan squared divided by the area of the wing, and span-loading is the ratio of the weight divided by the span.

While I understand the effect of aspect ratio on aircraft performance, I'm not 100% sure I completely understand the effect of span-loading.
