Website Speed May Soon Affect Your Sites Rankings

Well there seems to be some talk about the speed of your site affecting the ranking of your site, it's not official but it's something to take notice off.

Google Rankings and Website Loading Times

 

how you are saying that speed of website effect on ranking

 

Yes, possible.. It is now affecting the QS of the adwords campaign..

 

Google is now taking into account how fast or slow your website loads, this will affect your rankings, it's as simple as that.

 

I suspect this has been a factor, albeit a minor one, for many years now.

 

you mean: slow loading is good for your pagerank...or vice versa?
Why is there no open policy with Google?
Do you order products when it's a mistery what's inside of the box?

 

Slow Loading = Bad
Fast Loading = Good

Read the article at the top, it's all to do with the caffeine update, google is focusing on speed at the moment I think.

 

It makes sense. If a site takes forever to load most people leave. Most people who make own site should realize this.

 

How to judge? Will the blank page or very simple site get higher ranking?

 

I think it is something to do with the new crawler that google is developing. I think I had also posted a similar kind of post here

 

I think its happening in the new year..... hopefully it wont upset things too much!

 

interesting news , thanks for the share

 

So hobby-webmasters without the knowledge with no real investment in their site, are getting punished by google....now that is fair.
Aren't all clients equal?
"why must i pay more for my bread & milk than this gentleman"?

 

This is gr8 news , the website that has better hosting should rank better than website on poor hosting

 

speed is a factor thats wrong i guess coz not all servers are same

 

Does that mean the speed optimization is going to be the next best thing?

 

That's true, Yet - I thought the same 5 years ago as well, That's why I try to optimize as much as possible every time.

1. Better for the visitors
2. Easier for the spiders

 

Yes i agree... Soon a war will erupt in hosting industry forcing the smaller slower cheap hosts
to improve or get out the game as no webmaster with a good site will want to lose serps and
traffic due to garbage hosting...

Question:

If your a surfer do you really want to wait more then a few seconds on any site page to load?
Of course NOT... You'll go elsewhere and Maybe come back later or another day

That's one of the reasons why I'm changing web hosts now. My current web host has slow servers and I think it may factor into my rankings like how you said.

 

didn't think that would be a factor thanks for the post
