Google now considers page loading factors

[sejal1]

Google now considers page loading speed as one of the many factors for ranking web pages in search results. Does this mean I should switch my blog to a faster, and more expensive, web host or even consider using a CDN (like Amazon S3)?

Google has been considering page loading speed since a while! However, this factor is crucial in ranking. No need to change your hosting, simply use a caching plugin. Using wordpress, get a look on wp super cache or total cache.

Hi Guys,

Where have you been? This is old news, it didn't just start a few days ago. Google publicly announced this Friday, April 09, 2010 at 11:00 AM. That is well over a year ago.

Page load speed has been a factor for over a year now. This is hardly news.

With that in mind, it seems to have become increasingly important post-panda, although I think it might just be comparatively, since a lot of other ranking factors have dropped in importance.

This is something that has been going on a while. Just make sure that you are using something like gzip and you should be ok. There are many site loader checkers out there. I know that after playing around I ended up changing hosts due to my load speed.

Speed of page loading is tested for a while from "G". I believe that is now one of ???? factors which determine Your rankings.

Yeah, this has been known to be one of the 220 so called factors Google looks at.

If you are running a Wp site get one of the cache plugins that Juniorich recommends. I am using WP super cache and it works really well
