Should Page Speed Influence Google PageRank?

November 23rd, 2009 Luca Simonetti 3 comments

Matt Cutts, a software engineer and an eloquent corporate spokesman for Google, spoke at PubCon earlier this month and later gave a video interview to Web Pro News, in which he said that the speed at which web pages are available might become a factor in SEO moving into 2010. He said that because many within Google consider fastness to be vital to the web, the company is considering making web site speed a factor in calculating page rankings. Those comments have confused and scared many folks as to how speed might impact their businesses.

With Engine Networks you don’t have to worry about that, becouse our backbone is peering dirctly with Google backbone improving connectivity and gaining speed and reactiveness.
