Forum² Admin AWS Posted March 5, 2010 Forum² Admin Posted March 5, 2010 I read this article and don't know if it will be good or bad for us. It looks like Google caffeine will use page load time as a factor for sites being listed. The time listed in the article is 3 seconds. 3 seconds in this day and age is slow so it shouldn't hurt too bad. It's just interesting that Google is going this way. Now we'll have one thing to worry about when we optimize our sites for Google. I can see it now. We'll have stop watches out timing our page loads so that Google doesn't penalize us.

Forum² Staff Shawn Posted March 6, 2010 Forum² Staff Posted March 6, 2010 It may good but does this mean sometimes when hosts are slow, it will hurt us? Quote My forums: Another Admin Forum | vBAdmins Forum | Off Topic Forum | The Hiking Forum
Forum² Admin AWS Posted March 6, 2010 Author Forum² Admin Posted March 6, 2010 That is what it sounds like. If the host is slow the page might be dropped. Quote IPB Webmaster - For Invision Community Enthusiasts - SEO Help Forum
david Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 I'm not sure they'll drop the page or site, as much as not give it any sort of extra ranking. Google is in the data collection business, and dropping sites and information from their index wouldn't be beneficial to them. I remember when I proposed this idea back in early 2009 that page load speeds, and bounce rates will start to effect rankings and was pretty much laughed at though :D. Also, don't bust out your stop watch, simply sign up for Google Webmaster Tools, verify your domain, and give it a few days and you'll be able to see the Time Spent Downloading (in milliseconds) from the crawl stats. My math maybe off :D but anything higher than 3,000 to 5,000 milliseconds is probably trouble. Currently my IPB forum is averaging a super low download time. I can't tell you the exact numbers on it because the previous owner had it on a horrible host that had over 12 second download times, since then though I'm estimating this graph to be showing about a 1,000 millisecond time frame for downloading.

juliepaul Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 I am a newbie to SEO, but I'm a business owner with a poor web site (so I'm told), but I managed to fall into a great team that's helped me so I wanted to share everything I learned some things SEO forums for me. Quote
