\"page<\/a>It\u2019s official. Google is incorporating page speed as a factor into it\u2019s page ranking system. Any reason to panic?<\/p>\n

Well Matt Cutts<\/a> seems to be totally calm and cool about all the fuss with page speed becoming a Google page rank factor. He thoroughly explained in his blog about it\u2019s effects and the changes that will happen in it\u2019s implementation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s true but he claims that less than 1 percent of search queries will change as a result of incorporating site loading speed into Google\u2019s page ranking system. That\u2019s a pretty low number if you ask me. So low, that I won\u2019t even be bothered about this change if this much is true.<\/p>\n

And it seems as if Matt is telling us the whole truth \u2013 because they claimed to have already launched it weeks back and I didn\u2019t notice anything in my search queries as an SEO specialist.<\/p>\n

Matt also explained why the \u2018big-shots\u2019 or big companies who can afford better and faster hosting are not gonna benefit from this as much as all the other small-fry bloggers out there (that includes me). Because small sites often respond faster than large companies to changes in the web. And a little tweaking in your site can boost your site speed big-time.<\/p>\n

Matt summarized this change in three main points:<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst<\/strong>, this is actually a relatively small-impact change, so you don\u2019t need to panic.<\/p>\n

Second<\/strong>, speeding up your website is a great thing to do in general. Visitors to your site will be happier (and might convert more or use your site more), and a faster web will be better for all.<\/p>\n

T<\/strong>hird<\/strong>, this change highlights that there are very constructive things that can directly improve your website\u2019s user experience. Instead of wasting time on keyword meta tags<\/a>, you can focus on some very easy, straightforward, small steps that can really improve how users perceive your site.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tips for Keeps:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Work on your site and reduce all of the unnecessary media that can slow down your page loading speed if you want to be on top of the site-speed race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
