Does your web site take forever to load? If so, you need to know this: Google is now counting page load time as a factor in their page rank algorithm, so, it’s time to take a look at some of your graphics, bulky code, excessive java script, flock of seagulls music playing the background, etc. and reduce.
“Speeding up websites is important — not just to site owners, but to all Internet users. Faster sites create happy users and we’ve seen in our internal studies that when a site responds slowly, visitors spend less time there. But faster sites don’t just improve user experience; recent data shows that improving site speed also reduces operating costs. Like us, our users place a lot of value in speed — that’s why we’ve decided to take site speed into account in our search rankings. ” Google Webmaster Blog.
When you start thinking like Google and more importantly your web site users and their VERY LOW patience threshold, your web site starts to speak directly to them. Today’s web sites are clean, simple and minimalist and have no bad 80′s music playing in the background.
