Nowadays, many buyers, customers, and targets audiences are always online, leading to every business having a website. Unfortunately, digital consumers can also be quite impatient. Maintaining a rapidly loading website is an increasingly crucial factor for user experience and search engine optimization (SEO). As websites continue to evolve and become more complex and content-heavy, if your page load time is slow, it affects user experience, bounce rate, search performance, and revenue. Numerous factors affect page load speed, but there are a few actionable tweaks that can have a significant impact on reducing page load speed. Google considers page speed to be a crucial ranking factor that influences a website's position in organic search results. This article explains why a website's loading speed is important for SEO.
Generally speaking, a website's page load time is the time it takes for someone to see the content after landing. Google has indicated that website speed (and page speed) is one of the signals used by its algorithm to rank pages. The faster the pages can be loaded means Google can crawl more at one time. Webpage loading speed is a crucial part of a website's usability. Web pages do not load all at once but piece by piece. Also, a website's speed varies from page to page, depending on each page's attributes, the browser, device, and Internet speed. Websites that load quickly perform better across a range of marketing and SEO metrics.
Webpage speed can be divided into some categories:
Google will penalize very slow websites (greater than 4-7 seconds for the page to become usable) because, at about three seconds, users start turning back to the SERPs to look for something else. Google's PageSpeed Insights (PSI) classifies the quality of user experiences into three buckets: Good, Needs Improvement, or Poor.
