Does Google Penalize a Slow Website?
- SEO |
Lately I have noticed a slight decline in the organic traffic to my blog. I have a friend who is asking me to dump BlueHost and switch to HostGator. He further added that the blog opens very slow and that the server response time should be less than half a second.
My questions are does Google penalize slow blogs/websites? Does my blog fall in slow category? They sent me a message on my Adsense inbox, asking me to work on the speed of the blog but I really have no idea what they are talking about. Every time I open my blog, the pages loads almost instantly (in less than 10 seconds)
Please have a look at the server response time and Page Load speed test results:
Thank you all for your time!
There is one more aspect I wanted to draw your attention to: The blog (which draws about 4000 page view per day) is not the primary domain
The primary domain is a service website and it hardly get 50 visitors per day. When I had started out I never thought it'd become so big (have about 750 articles and 4000 images)
The question is, shall I convert it into primary domain?
I just had a word with BlueHost customer care, they said it was possible but they were not sure if the blog will not break its layout.
What do you suggest.
PS: I have a business account with unlimited bandwidth
