The Need for Speed: PageSpeed and SEO (and You)

Time is money. In lots of ways. Way #1. Get fast Internet for your business.  The fastest you can possibly get. Comcast, for example, has "gaming" Internet which is incredibly fast - a lot, lot faster than AT&T universe.

 Back East, they have FIBER which is even faster than Comcast.

Time is Money



PageSpeed and SEO
Time is money. Every second that you (or an employee) waits and waits and waits is time lost, money lost, effort lost.

 A fast Internet connection for you. A fast website for them.

 The need for speed.

Check your internet speed

Along with this, Google seems to have increased its awareness of manual spam complaints . All of this is creating some unintended consequences. Unintended Consequences of Panda and Penguin I doubt that Google meant to increase the availability of negative SEO tactics. Negative SEO is the use of faked or aggressive tactics by your competitors to make your own site look "as if" it is doing something against Google's terms of service, or just as bad, to call Google's attention to something you are doing that many other competitors are doing as well. So think about it this way: Panda = low...
