Could Be Penalized by Google or Not?

    I have a website which is slowing down with the increase in traffic. Do you think Google can penalize it just for this reason?

    Check the website here and please tell is this speed is ok or it need to speed up this website or it is possible to speed up my website or not?

    I don't know even what i have to do to stop it slowing down. Please suggest me something. i am worried.

    :confused:

    Google won't penalize for your site's speed, but your ranking will be down day by day for sure.


    Install Google Page Speed Optimizer on your hosting to increase the page load speed.

    Correct. Not a penalty, but your site might be pushed down the SERPs if too slow.

    To check if you site is penalized, follow the steps I outlined in this post: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2162997#post16171048

    No google won't penalise for your slow speed because it doesn't own your website. So it could not penalise you. Even if you have adsense account then also they couldn't do anything but your rank will decrease day by day and also you will lose your visitors as they won't like to visit slow sites.

    and now a days google is calculating its rank based on the speed

    Hi. Thanks this is a nice tool. It is takes 14 seconds to load my webpage. But Take around 1 or 2 second to open it again.
    Do you think i should install "Google page speed optimizer"?
    Or this is not so bad.?

    if it becomes excessive/unacceptable in speed... Yes you could get penalized.

    Many misinterpret site speed with your rankings. A site will not outrank another site because of its speed... But a site needs to be within an acceptable range to be listed.

    Yo, you need to get that speed sorted out right now! 14 seconds is absolutely unacceptable. You don't have to be on some maniac high-end server... But 14 seconds is way too long and I would not be surprised if you drop ranks because of it. The second time you are loading the page is because most of it is cached.

    Take care of the speed problem before it becomes a major problem

    no google will not penalize you for this cause. if you have high traffic then it is good to for you. if there are high traffic in a site why Google will penalize you? do you violate their any rule? do you maintain google TOS? if you maintain all of these then just sit back and relax. gogle will do nothing negative with your site.

    but be careful of google panda

    thanks

    Your site won't be penalized for its speed but its SERP would be going down daily. You need to optimize well to get higher page rank, i.e get quality backlinks.
