Page load speed may be a factor in deciding page rank for a website at Google.
News: Google: Page Speed May Become a Ranking Factor in 2010.
If indeed this is true, as I mentioned in previous blog post (above), I am not sure what I can do to improve the page load times for my website. Just today I checked again Stardeveloper’s page load performance only to realize that it has gotten a little slower, and thus slower than 93% of the websites on Google. That’s pretty bad. But, why more slow? Does it have to do with the JavaScript enabled Twitter Gadget that I have placed on my website?
I don’t know what I should I do to make the website any faster than it already is on the server-side. I mean it uses Gzip compression and caching. The only weakness is probably the client-side JavaScript that has to be loaded for every ad on the website.
How to not lose ad revenue without compromising website load times is going to be an interesting dilemma for most webmasters in 2010.
