↳ Post created Friday, August 6th 2010 by admin. ⌈2 comments⌋The new Google ranking algorithm factor is page load time.
Speeding up websites is important — not just to site owners, but to all Internet users. Faster sites create happy users and we’ve seen in our internal studies that when a site responds slowly, visitors spend less time there. But faster sites don’t just improve user experience; recent data shows that improving site speed also reduces operating costs. Like us, our users place a lot of value in speed — that’s why we’ve decided to take site speed into account in our search rankings. We use a variety of sources to determine the speed of a site relative to other sites.
There are a lot of ways to test your page load speed, below you will find few tools to help you test your site’s page load time more effectively.
