Foursquare Day

Speed Matters to Google

  • Need for Speed: Google Adds Load Time to Algorithm
  • "The search engine giant has recently added site speed to its algorithm, taking into account the speed at which a website responds to web requests."
  • Free tools include: Page Speed, YSlow, WebPageTest, Google Webmaster Tools (links in the article)
  • It’s Official: Google Now Counts Site Speed As A Ranking Factor
  • "Google's algorithm has about 200 different ranking factors, and even though Google is taking the unusual step of publicly announcing a new factor, Cutts says site owners shouldn't overestimate the impact of page speed on rankings."
  • Marketing Takeaway: Test your speed using free tools, but don't obsess over it. Content quality still matters more!
