#1 hello everyone I have a question Does the site speed affect the top search engines like Google?
RE: Does the speed of the site affect the top search engines? 22-04-2020, 06:14 PM #2 Yes it does. Not only does it affect your ranking, but the average user will just close the tab if it takes too long to load.

RE: Does the speed of the site affect the top search engines? According to a recent study conducted by Brian Dean published yesterday on his blog, page loading speed didnt show any strong correlation with top-ranking websites/keywords.
Obviously, this doesnt mean youre going to build a business on a site that takes 10+ seconds to load.
I can sum it up everything for you...
Important SEO factors in 2020 -
Authoritative Domains Tend to Rank Higher
Pages With More Backlinks Tend to Rank Higher
Pages with Comprehensive Content rank higher
Pages with more Referring Domains rank higher
Pages using exact or partial match in Title tag rank higher
Pages with higher Webpage Authority rank (slightly) higher
Pages with content length around 1500 words (or more) rank higher
Pages with shorter URLs rank higher
Pages with lower bounce rate rank higher
Things that don't appear to matter (as much) for SEO in 2020 -
Page load speed (Within reason, I would imagine)
Exact or partial match in H1 tag
Schema markup

RE: Does the speed of the site affect the top search engines? 24-05-2020, 04:59 PM #6 Google favors websites that give their users a good user experience and answers to the searches people are doing. If your site is slow it will hurt your CTR as the users leave before they reach to where you want them to be.

RE: Does the speed of the site affect the top search engines? 24-06-2020, 09:36 PM #7 Yes a reasonable speed does matter. Use GTMETRIX to see if you need to improve the speed. But if you think you have a speed score of 90+ and you will get higher ranking because of that, it will never happen. I check the speed of the top websites all the time and none of them have been optimized for speed score of 90+
