Great topic since many site owners overlook website / page speed.

Google (and users) love websites that load and render quickly because it only adds to the user experience, especially with todays mobile first platform of choice/behavior.

Website that don’t adapt will inevitably feel the bite, if they haven’t already. Great article. Thanks for putting it together!

Google likes the website which opens very fast and gives high priority in terms of ranking.

The website should be fully optimized for the mobile device also because nowadays 80% visitors are from Mobile only.

A well explained article by Bruce.

In reply to Ronald Davis Of 24 Hour Ac Repair Los Angeles. Ronald Davis: Checking your mobile speed can definitely be a wake-up call! You'll want to test all your main landing pages individually. Another tool we refer to is Pingdom. Try Pingdom to see exactly how long it takes each element on the page to load.

Not Long ago I had someone show me the value of page speed insights and I was shocked at how bad my page speed was I didn’t realize that one needed a fast web site to truly rank better

We recently uploaded all our visual content to the Amazon’s cloud front.

Ironically we finished hours before Amazon went down last Wednesday – Had my dev team been on this continent I would have tracked them down until I figured out I had single handedly broken Amazon – that was wierd

In any case we’re a very visual site (exotic bird supplies) and to see 46 category images pop pop pop on my phone (vs watching them load row by row) is a thing of beauty

Well worth the time & money

Good topic. I would not listen to one word Google says when it comes to doing positive things like improving your site performance. It’s like when you ask Bruce a question and he says no but is shaking his head yes.

Mobile-first indexing is going to force more SEO’s to evolve and adapt to a mobile-first world. Strategies and techniques used in the past to influence on-page SEO are going to be very limited to a mobile device(i.e. internal link juice). It will be interesting to see case studies from a mobile-first perspective when it finally dominates the index.

Like always, great read!

Great article Bruce. Personally, I think AMP may be dead on arrival. My reason for my thinking this way, is because Mobile speeds from providers are getting much faster and I believe that HTTPS 2.0 is going to become the default protocol in the next two years.

We changed our website to HTTPS 2.0, and were able to cut our load times by over a second, with some test as quick as .6 seconds load time.

I’m not sure why google is not pushing HTTPS 2.O. Especially since HTTPS 2.O came from Google’s SPDY protocol.

I understand that Google is trying to respond to Facebook’s Instant articles with AMP. But all Google is doing is slowing down their search results by loading additional content and thus hurting the user’s experience.

AMP is the hot new topic, and will fade away, as more and more websites start using HTTPS 2.0. When using HTPPS 2.0 with an CDN, things get even faster.

I’m just waiting for Google to come out and say to webmasters, that HTTPS 2.0 is the future and advise webmasters to make the switch.
