Just seen the Google Adsense Scorecard.

One of my sites was getting graded at 65/100 for speed & performance. Enabled GZIP compression on the site.. Loading time went down to 0.80 seconds and grade went up to 85/100... Pretty cool for 1-minute of work editing the .HTACCESS. For those of you who are interested, I added the following to my .HTACCESS:

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/xml text/css text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/svg+xml application/xhtml+xml application/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rdf+xml application/rss+xml application/atom+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript application/javascript application/x-javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-ttf application/x-font-otf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/truetype font/opentype
</IfModule>

      A little tab within the Adsense dashboard. You don't see it? Here's a link for more info:

      Just got back from a #BrightonSEO. I was given room 404 in the hotel I stayed at. Couldn’t find it anywhere!

        The adsense scorecard is just a bogus way of google playing
        the game "game." Notice you will get dinged if you don't have
        google+ buttons on a site?

        I have the button. Whew! Now I can sleep better.

        Now about that text/image thingy....

          Yeah, but it provides some pretty sound advice for improving site load time. After implementing GZIP compression, my site load time dropped from 2.30 seconds to 0.80 seconds on external page-load check sites.

          I'm hoping that should at least improve bounce rate slightly!

    I see a scorecard in AdSense as of today, but no score ratings. Are you referring to Google PageSpeed?

    Looks like they're self promoting, like Paul said the G+ button (been there done that) & the Page Speed upsell.

    They also suggested (as always) that I use text + image Ads (not going to happen). I've tested Image Ads in the past & they blow on CTR & earnings.

    They say my page speed is at 95%, good enough for me.

    Lol, Google is self promoting like a mofo.

      Page speed upsell. Exactly. Load page in 2013
      is a nonissue, and has nothing to do with my adsense
      sites.

      In fact, I'd say it's the ads that take down overall speed....
      so they must time it, sans ads. Introducing those HUGE
      overlay ads even puts more idiocy in the mix of page speed.

    Funny thing about that G+ button code, Google gave me the thumbs up for having the code on my page & then turned around & suggested I don't use the redirect code that the G+ code on my site is pointing to on Googles own site.

    Make up my mind.
