Google now ranks a site on how fast they load

How long has this been going on? Since April, 10? In that case, if you haven't heard about it already, then you're welcome.

There have been numerous threads on this already, as well as on the google blog;

This was also mentioned several months back and featured as part of the "faster web" series.

 

yes. but it's still a nice reminder for those that forgot, or whom simply did not know.

 

yup old news
and one more reason why net neutrality is bad news

 

not something most people need to worry about. if you are using a good host, your server will load your site really fast. unless your coding or onsite elements take longer to load

 

Old news but one reason to think a little more about cheap hosting on boxes that are overloaded. Seems google is taking speed as a sign of quality so I would suspect we will also hear a lot more complaining about free blogger accounts getting axed due to spam in the coming months.

 

Yes its new but good and userfriendly. Thats what the web is needing.

 

Old stuff. (Posted in April in Google Webmaster central). But it is an incentive not only to get out of cheap hosting, but also to clean up your html pages from all the crap they contain.

 

Of course it's old stuff. Last post before your answer was in Apr 14th 2010

 

You are right. If your site takes 3 sec. to load then Google index that site very fastly and too much time for load means late index for your site.

 

More faster more visitor will stay at your site...lol I think Google use the right way for this rule...
