What is Page speed and how it effects on Search Engine?
Page speed refers to the time it takes to load the website page properly with all it contents.
In 2010, Google made an announcement that from now onwards web page speed might effect your website ranking. That announcement basically refers to the time a visitor need to wait until your page is properly loaded. Google’s present day research shows us that the chance of a bounce increases 32% whilst the page load time goes from 1s to 3s. 1s to 5s will increase the chance to 90% and whereas 10s to load, the chance increases to 123%. That’s ridiculous.
