Fast loading websites rank better in Google.
Be alert - your competitors could jump above you without even doing anything to their website.
At the recent Pubcon seminar in Las Vegas, Matt Cutts (senior engineer at Google) was quoted as saying "fast load times may have a positive effect on rankings". This is something which the new, upgraded version of Google (Caffeine) is targeted at.
Have you ever sat there, done a search on Google, found a website which looks good and waited for it to load? How frustrating! Google is devoted to improving the information you receive through the search engine ranking pages (SERPs) and the overall general speed of the internet.
So what does this mean for me?
Well if your website is mainly image based, has high file sizes or anything which could slow down your site from loading, then be alert - your competitors could jump above you, without even doing anything to their website.
