The faster load, the better
Some news out of this week’s Pubcon Conference in Las Vegas.
It seems as if fast load times for your website might have a positive effect in influencing your search rankings. That all being said, having slow page load times seemingly will not negatively impact your rankings. Source.
This is reported to have come from Matt Cutts, head of the Webspam team for Google.
It’s a no brainer that, in terms of usability, a fast load time for your web pages definitely helps a user’s overall experience when browsing your site. We’ve all been to “that site” where pages take forever to load. I don’t know about you, but if I encounter a website with slow load times, I usually leave and look for similar information elsewhere.
It will be interesting to see if this ranking factor remains to be, more or less, a small influence or if it will become a bigger part of the search engine ranking puzzle.
page load is important – I really hate going to a website that has really slow page load.
For internet marketers, matt cutts word is like “god’s” word
It’s officially considered as one of SEO Factor now. Pageload is one of CS factor in google’s adword since years and that really make sense.
