Google confirms Speed as ranking factor
Google has confirmed that they use page speed as a ranking factor. Indeed, the load-speeds are about to become the ultimate criteria for search ranking performance, and that this will cause major ranking damage to the average website.
Will your website drop in Google's search results?
It's no great secret that the average visitor's attention span is five seconds or less, and that long loading times do tend to make users hit the back button. And that's exactly where Site-Speed comes in.

Improve your Google ranking
Search Engine Optimisation is becoming increasingly important to every website; the fact that more than 113 billion searches were made in July 2009 alone, says it all. Some of the techniques used have given SEO a bad name, but while there are many techniques that are less than honest, there are several simple ways to ensure your site benefits from natural search results.

The need for faster websites
Today, many designers have become a little lazy when compared to the medium’s pioneers. With broadband almost ubiquitous in many countries, optimisation has fallen by the wayside. Many now assume they can throw anything they want online and it’ll be downloaded ‘quickly enough’.
But when you step back and look at many current sites, a ‘good enough’ approach often isn’t good enough. Just a lag of a few seconds might be all the encouragement a restless visitor needs to go elsewhere, potentially losing your site a sale. And in an age of broadband, it’s absurd that some sites shove loading delays down your throat akin to (or even worse than) those suffered users during the late 1990s.
