Do site load times have an impact on Google rankings?

[agapitoflores001]

It really helps to visit Google Webmaster videos.

I have noticed that websites on fast servers are being deeply indexed by Google spider. I think it will be one of main factors in future.

And... one year later, according to google blog, now it does impact PR :)

[kelleywalkerde]

thank google you have changes of shirts. frankly, i just thought you guys were branding.

[scott231us]

Yeah, it took me like 10 minutes to load this video too.. It ran very slow.

[x7isrich]

seriously, people complained about what you're wearing? lol

Matt needs to be more precise on the meaning of loaf time (length/bad code or host or page Bytes). Earlier Google was displaying page size (in Bytes) as a key feature in front of each listing than why it is not considered as a part of their ranking algorithm.

SEO articles are optimized for the search engines. They contain keywords that the search engines spiders will spot and index. This will allow your site to rank with the search engines when web surfers type in the words. Being found on a search engine is very important. Custom SEO article writing services can help with a top rank with the search engines.

I find it ironic that this video does not load..

I've been watching the rest of your vids but this one wont load!

[larssonk22]

ok its finally loaded lol

[gasyoun]

Doen't worry about SEO said Matt in this video. He must had joked.

[okiedokies]

I think you should have one thing different on each video. Sure different shirts is ok, how about hats, glasses and so forth.

Remember, we are giving you duplicate content penalities at the moment. lol :)

[moso125]

Matt you have made my day with the shirts thing :)

[Johnsonharris]

Yes Matt it is really amazing. Ofcourse it is very important to reduce the loading of any website. Still we are thinking that it'll effect to website rankings. Now I need to think visitors point of view. Thanks for the information.

[grgisme]

Thanks for this one Matt :-). I personally would love if Google made load speed a factor in ranking in the future. Not just because my sites are fast :-P, but because I too prefer a fast web experience, and I think Google adjusting their rankings would be one of the most influential ways to promote that behavior.

Matt I think it's brilliant that your big concern is our feeling about your shirts. :) Thanks a lot btw for posting these, I love the amount of information you're sharing here.

[MattIn3rtia]

How do I improve my ranking on call of duty?

[mrcakey]

What colour shirt is best for search ranking?

[kevinargh]

[GoogleWebmasterHelp]

Hi kevinargh,

Don't worry, we uploaded an HD file, so it's probably just a matter of time before YouTube generates the HD option. I'm happy you noticed the difference!
