As<\/span> promised,<\/span> in<\/span> July,<\/span> Google<\/span> officially<\/span> made<\/span> the<\/span> page<\/span> speed<\/span> a<\/span> ranking<\/span> factor<\/span> within<\/span> mobile<\/span><\/div>\n

\u201cThe<\/span> \u201cSpeed<\/span> Update,\u201d<\/span> as<\/span> we\u2019re<\/span> calling<\/span> it,<\/span> will<\/span> only<\/span> affect<\/span> pages<\/span> that<\/span> deliver<\/span> the<\/span> slowest<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n

same<\/span> standard<\/span> to<\/span> all<\/span> pages,<\/span> regardless<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> technology<\/span> used<\/span> to<\/span> build<\/span> the<\/span> page.<\/span> The<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
intent<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> search<\/span> query<\/span> is<\/span> still<\/span> a<\/span> very<\/span> strong<\/span> signal,<\/span> so<\/span> a<\/span> slow<\/span> page<\/span> may<\/span> still<\/span> rank<\/span> highly<\/span> if<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n

It\u2019s<\/span> been<\/span> some<\/span> time<\/span> since<\/span> the<\/span> speed<\/span> update<\/span> has<\/span> been<\/span> rolled<\/span> out<\/span> and<\/span> we<\/span> can<\/span> hardly<\/span> notice<\/span> any<\/span><\/div>\n

the<\/span> speed<\/span> update<\/span> but<\/span> also<\/span> provide<\/span> a<\/span> good<\/span> user<\/span> experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But<\/span> how<\/span> fast<\/span> is<\/span> fast<\/span> enough?<\/span> Turns<\/span> out,<\/span> a<\/span> page<\/span> should<\/span> be<\/span> fully<\/span> loaded<\/span> and<\/span> ready<\/span> to<\/span> use<\/span> within<\/span><\/div>\n
