Google Now Counts Site Speed As A Ranking Factor - GoFuckYourself.com

TheDoc · 04-09-2010, 04:21 PM

"Google has kept a promise it made last year: Site speed is now a ranking factor in Google’s algorithm, and is already in place for U.S. searchers. But Google also cautions web site owners not to sacrifice relevance in the name of faster web pages, and even says this new ranking factor will impact very few queries."

It's been a factor since Jan 1st, when caffeine was introduced.

Aye... it says that in the first line

However - if they tell us about a factor, clearly... it must be pretty damn important at some point.

If Google measure the relative and average speed on pages (speed per byte), then sacrifice won't be problem.

“Quality should still be the first and foremost concern [for site owners],” Cutts says. “This change affects outliers; we estimate that fewer than 1% of queries will be impacted. If you’re the best resource, you’ll probably still come up.”

That is why memcache, page cache, object cache and frag cache has been on all my blogs.

hint hint...

I would think the most popular terms with popular sites are the test cases... given some time, I would expect that they incorporate this into most popular listings that have popular related websites competing for rankings.

As a user of google, I would rather the faster site be first...

Dang, you beat the entire Internet by 7 years.

The speed of your site and the ability of the bot to index or deep index your site has always been a factor. This isn't that.

I think it just became public, but I believe it's been a factor for some time...

rob04 · 04-09-2010, 07:01 PM

And I may add there was still someone in the grassy knoll...

It has always effected your conversion rates ... you should have your sites optimized for speed regardless of what Google is doing.
