Google Now Focusing On Page Load Speeds

When considering a new website many people overlook the importance of a fast web hosting service.

Google is now focusing more on web page load speeds as a factor in page ranking. It is very easy for Google to measure page load speeds, and that is exactly what they do when indexing your pages. Spiders will report back to Google with a page load time of each of your sites pages. An average is calculated over a period of time which will have an effect on your page rank.

This is why it’s important to choose a fast hosting company when starting your new website. Not only will fast hosting have an impact on your page rankings, it will also give your visitors a better experience and they are less likely to click back to the the search results page in frustration.

SEOtechnique.net recommends Fused Network for fast hosting service. Prices start at $9.95/month. Load times are very fast, downtime is non-existent and customer service is great!

    Load speed is a very important factor for me when visiting a website. If a page takes too long to load, I will usually go elsewhere to find what I am looking for. Great post.

    Visual elements such as images increases loading speed. Users want data-rich pages and not visually rich pages.
