Webpage load time as a Ranking Factor


Google has been talking about speed of their search engine as well as published how users react when search takes a longer time. Now, with a short interview with Mike from WebProNews, Matt Cutts says the speed of a site (load time) might become a ranking factor in search.

What does that mean?

- Web Site creators will be forced to ensure that their sites are faster
- Greater demand for performance and scalability gurus
- With speed being a factor in everyone's mind - Google would treat their quick response times as a competitive edge. Other search engines will have to raise the bar and focus a lot on ensuring that the search experience is super fast.
