Well, it’s official: Google now counts site speed as a ranking factor (article here). So what does that mean for you and your website?

You need to ensure that your website is loading in a quick and appropriate time so Google’s search engine bots don’t penalize your pages for loading too slowly.

There are several things we can do to help your website load fast such as creating and maintaining optimal coding standards, optimizing pictures to their smallest file sizes and keeping the website code clean and concise.
