Google is loosing its patience and wants more speed from your website
Although is a while since Google announces that is giving more weight to the page load speed, in the last days it was made clear – Google now counts site speed as one of its around 200 ranking factors.
Still the site speed doesn’t seems to be one of the most important factor since Google approximate that only around 1% of the websites will be affected because of it. It has been demonstrated that speeding up the user experience results in more usage, so why not give a little boost to your website?
Questionable for me is why Google is so late in doing this? From my experience I am dropping right away a web page navigation which it takes more than 1-2 seconds to load. Of course if is about photography or graphic design the things are little bit changed, one way or another I have to be patient.
Not so many articles on Kenfi about Google and search engine optimization but since I just started a small SEO company here in Toronto, from now you’ll hear even more about all this SEO stuff :)

Every webmaster need to re thinking to put extra large image… because it’s will slowdown loading time ;)
Well, all for better user exeperience. This is going to get people thinking on a lot of things – website artchitecture, design, visual content… you name it!
And people will need to choose thier hosting service more carefully now.
Not hosting service only, with different opperating sistems differs a lot. (Windows servers os, that i tried, are slower than linux)
