Google is constantly trying to improve the experience of people search the results will be rapid and specific. Users Computers get very frustrated when they have to wait more than a few seconds for your website to appear.

What does this mean for you?

Google offers a tool called "Speed Line" which evaluates the performance of its website and suggests how to improve. Ideally would be that the pages should load in 30 seconds with a 56K modem and less than 2 seconds with a high-speed cable.

Improving the speed of web page

Navigation Using CSS

Sites that use flash, javascript or video to impress visitors slow loading times of web pages. Search engines do not index the files. Creating a CSS menu rather than the search engines can spider links.

Use external files

Use Server-side includes (SSI) for easy maintenance

SSI allows you to update 100s of pages with edit a file instead of editing each one separately. These files must be loaded each time they are accessed from the server to make sure your web host uses fast servers.

Fast servers

Most web hosting servers to host multiple websites on the same server. If a site suddenly receives increased traffic can saturate the server and the site could be temporarily offline. This means you could lose sales. Beware of companies offering unlimited space. Find a reputable service that guarantees 99% of the time and daily backups.

Static vs. the base data-driven sites

Static html web sites tend to load faster than databases because the sites of the websites database contains 100s or 1000s of files. Most static sites are less than 100 pages. Before designing or redesigning their website to check the speed of the page sites integrated with database software such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, etc).

Web Hosting Service

Most web sites these days share the same server. If a website suddenly receives an increase in server resources that affects all other sites on that server. Therefore, beware of web hosting companies offering unlimited space and / or bandwidth. Checking the uptime of the server hosting your site.
