How Fast Is Does Your Site Load? Site Speed Is Now A Factor In Rankings!

How Fast Is Does Your Site Load? Site Speed Is Now A Factor In Rankings!Google mentioned this a few months ago and now they have confirmed that the speed at which your site loads is now a factor in where your site ranks.  Listing the fact that a fast loading website improves the search experience of the website visitor, Google is recommending that you take the steps necessary to ensure your website is loading as fast as it can.  There are many tweaks you can make to your website to make it load faster.  One of the things you can do immediately is ensure your site is using the latest Google Asynchronous Code if you are using Google Analytics.  We will be posting a full list on our blog later.  TechWyse is also offering site audits to help determine some other ways you can improve the speed of your website.  Contact me for more details!

    I think it has been a good week for you DJ with the SMX meet at Toronto. What I see from the past few posts are transition in the Social Media in to something larger than just business. Also, the recogniton of Google in almost every aspect of online business, its like thinking ahead of time.

    I know for me, that if a site isn´t quick enough I´ll leave it…its kind of sad isn´t it that 2 minutes has actually become too long in the internet world…the idea of waiting for something to load makes us anxious and almost angry – I bet there is no one who could say they haven´t yelled at something loading or downloading to hurry up…
