If you are a “speed freak”, Google will love you! They will soon be using site speed as a ranking factor. Here’s their reasoning: “Speeding up websites is important – not just to site owners, but to all internet users. Faster sites create happy users and when a site responds slowly, visitors spend less time there. Recent data shows that improving site speed also reduces operating costs”.
So speed up – we guarantee you won’t get a speeding ticket!
