Google Search Rankings Considers Site Speed

CONNECT WITH HBB ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Google Webmaster ToolsGoogle officially announced that they are now considering the loading speed of a site in search rankings. Site speed reflects how quickly a website responds to web requests.

Post excerpts from Official Google Webmaster Central Blog,

While site speed is a new signal, it doesn’t carry as much weight as the relevance of a page. Currently, fewer than 1% of search queries are affected by the site speed signal in our implementation and the signal for site speed only applies for visitors searching in English on Google.com at this point.

      This comes into thinking that Google really aims for the users’ convenience. This is a good move for Google, considering they’re like the king, once they said it everyone follows. Besides, who wants to go in a sluggish loading site anyways.

      I think I got to reduce my image file size now.

    • Ron Edwards

      So its time to remove those friggin' pictures and videos in some of my sites! 🙂 Thanks for sharing.

      Google has been talking about doing this for a while now, finally happening. I have been using the WP Super Cache plugin few weeks back and it works great.
      Thanks for the tips.

      After reading that Blog Post over Google Blog, I removed many widgets and some extra HTML/PHP Codes from My blog.

      Than tested the performance using YSlow and PageSpeed FF Extension. YSlow is still giving my Site/Post Pages Grade= C and PageSpeed: 84/100 🙁

      Man am I late to the party. 3 posts now on this before I write mine up…I think I’ll just do one with backlinks to y’all. 😉

      It is a good move that google is giving more value to site speed and now that the site speed is a ranking factor, many people will take it more seriously. However, lets face it that adsense, analytics, friendconnect etc are google’s stuff that slows down the site speed and which clearly means that google itself is responsible to slow down the internet…

      perhaps, google should also focus to improve its services speed before valuing site speed this highly 🙂
