Google Puts Emphasis on Website Speed
Google has a blog. Did you know this? One particularly informative Google blog is – googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com
At this link: Website Speed is Important in SEO you will find valuable information regarding the importance that Google places on website speed for search engine positioning as they are constantly moving forward in their diligent attempt to provide the best user experience for all Internet searchers.
They mention that 1/2 a second is the loading time that they like to see.
This is one reason why I caution my client companies regarding videos on their home page. Since the home page has the priority among the pages of your website, you want to especially be certain that your home page loads incredibly fast! Some videos do not bog down the system and create a slower loading speed, however, other videos are cataclysmic to the success of your SEO campaign.
Be very careful when you are attempting to move forward in your campaign with video usage that you don’t slow down your site with home page videos that can kill your speed and kill your Google ranking/SERP.
