User experience is an increasingly important factor in search engine rankings, and one of the top causes of page abandonment is slow loading times. Nothing frustrates searchers more than having a page that loads slowly, Sahil Kakkar wrote in an earlier post. \u201cIf it takes 5 seconds, you click back and go to another website.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGoogle has indicated site speed (and as a result, page speed) is one of the signals used by its algorithm to rank pages,\u201d the SEO experts wrote. \u201cAnd research has shown that Google might be specifically measuring time to the first byte as when it considers page speed.\u201d Simply put, \u201cNo matter how you measure it, a faster page speed is better. Many people have found that faster pages both rank and convert better.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a balance that must be reached between making websites rich in features and fast. In an interview with Search Engine Journal, Raven Tools co-founder Jon Henshaw said, \u201cWe\u2019ve reached a point where people are making such slow sites that it\u2019s ruining the web experience for a lot of us. Unless you\u2019re on broadband, and even if you are on broadband, it might take a little while to load. You have things popping up in front of you. You\u2019ve got videos loading and auto-playing. It\u2019s just incredibly annoying as an end user.\u201d<\/p>\n

Most marketers like to focus their SEO efforts on the perceived high-value stuff. Write great content. Find the sleeper keywords that will make the phone ring. Create great titles and meta descriptions that lure visitors to their websites. That\u2019s the fun stuff.<\/p>\n

There are some simple, important things you can do to accelerate loading times. But they ain\u2019t sexy. No one will notice them except you and Google. Page speed is influenced by a bunch of unsexy factors like mobile optimization, image size, code complexity, and caching technology.<\/p>\n

Measuring Page Speed<\/h2>\n

An easy way to find out if Google thinks your page is fast or slow is to use the Google PageSpeed Insights tool. You just enter your URL and you get an immediate assessment of your page speed, what (if anything) is slowing it down, and how to fix any problems.<\/p>\n

\"measure<\/a><\/p>\n

Below is an example of what you\u2019ll see when the tool has assessed your website. Three of the unsexy fixes we\u2019ll talk about here are among the most common reasons for slow loading times: mobile optimization, image optimization, code minification, and browser caching. We\u2019ll explain each one and show you how to address them.<\/p>\n

\"page<\/a><\/p>\n

Amping Up Mobile Search<\/h2>\n

The Accelerated Mobile Pages Project (AMP) is an online publishing format, originally created by Google as an alternative to Facebook’s Instant Articles. It\u2019s a way to optimize web pages for mobile browsing using a special code–AMP-HTML. AMP allows pages to load much faster on mobile devices by stripping out excess code and storing pages in a special AMP cache that allows the pages to be served faster. You can see pages that are using AMP in the search engine results pages (SERPS) on your phone or tablet.<\/p>\n

According to Google, \u201cThe AMP Project is an open-source initiative aiming to make the web better for all. The project enables the creation of websites and ads that are consistently fast, beautiful and high-performing across devices and distribution platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because search engines rank content based in part on page loading times, and because they weigh mobile experience more than the desktop experience, it is a good idea to use AMP. To do so, however, requires coding knowledge, as the way to \u201cAMP\u201d your pages requires that you create a separate version of the page using AMP-HTML that makes the page lightweight and that allows the page to be stored in the Google AMP cache.<\/p>\n

Image Optimization for SEO<\/h2>\n

Great images make a website pop, giving it visual appeal and making the message more understandable. Images can improve your SEO by engaging readers and by using Alt tags to help explain what the image and page are about. Images can also hurt you if they are too large and slow down your loading times.<\/p>\n

You can use a WordPress plugin, SmushPro, to bulk compress images. It\u2019s an easy way to ensure that all of your photos and graphics are properly compressed. It will automatically go through all of your media files, optimize all of your images for you, \u201csmush\u201d them, and continue to compress images as you add new web pages.<\/p>\n

\"image<\/a><\/p>\n

There are other image compression tools available. Some only compress certain file types (jpeg, png, etc). WPSmush compresses everything.<\/p>\n

Code Minification for SEO<\/h2>\n

Code is an often overlooked factor in page speed. Most coders write for humans, with lots of formatting and instructions so that others who might work on the website will understand the intent of the programmer. All those extra characters, including line breaks and spaces, are eventually processed by crawlers and browsers as they explore a page.<\/p>\n

Code minification removes all extra characters and spaces to speed up the process. It\u2019s still readable by browsers and crawlers–it can just be read easier and faster to speed up performance. Autoptimize is a WordPress plugin that will automatically minify CSS, HTML, and JavaScript. It will also restore the unminified version if you need it later.<\/p>\n

\"Code<\/a><\/p>\n

Browser Caching for SEO<\/h2>\n

When a browser opens a page, a massive data transfer takes place, with the browsers requesting tons of information, and the website sending the information requested. That back-and-forth can be sped up by enabling browser caching.<\/p>\n

Browser caching speeds up pages by downloading fixed website elements like HTML, CSS, JavaScripts, and images into the end user\u2019s local browser cache. This way it doesn\u2019t have to retrieve them on every page load. Web servers aren\u2019t always configured correctly to enable browser caching, however, which in webspeak means the server has the incorrect headers, or that the server is set to let caching expire too soon.<\/p>\n

Enabling browser caching is a little harder than code minification and image compression. You have to edit the HTML headers to make sure that they are set to the maximum \u201cexpiry date\u201d possible. This means that the browser will save and store static assets as long as the browser allows. When the cache expires quickly, the next request for the page will reload all assets, including static assets extending the loading time.<\/p>\n

In most cases, the best practice for website performance is to use browser caching as aggressively as possible\u2013i.e., cache as much as you can for as long as you can. Exceptions might include sensitive data that needs to be kept private for compliance or security reasons. Pages that have dynamic content that changes frequently may also require more nuanced caching configurations.<\/p>\n

Speed Things Up<\/h2>\n

Page speed is important for search engines because it is important to users. Google tells us, \u201c2 seconds is the threshold for e-commerce website acceptability. At Google, we aim for under a half second.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fast pages are also good for business. When Walmart learned that its ecommerce site was slower than Amazon or eBay, the company dug into the data. The company found that:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. For every 1 second of improvement they experienced up to a 2 percent increase in conversions.<\/li>\n
  2. For every 100 ms of improvement, they grew incremental revenue by up to 1 percent.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The first step in improving page speed is to measure it. Then you can use the tools described here to speed things up to get more visitors and more business.<\/p>\n

    CONCLUSION<\/h2>\n

    User experience is becoming a larger and larger factor in how search engines decide what results to display. Page speed is a critical user experience metric for desktop and mobile users. Fast sites are rewarded by search engines and by customers. <\/span>\u201cIt is not a secret that a positive user experience often leads to better conversions,\u201d and \u201cpagespeed should be your top priority as a bad one could cost you a lot.\u201d Using AMP, minifying code, compressing images, and enabling browser caching are the sexiest SEO best practices, but they are among the most effective at improving page speed.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
