As Google States that, “Every Website Should Load Within 4 Seconds.”
And it is true, If the website is taking more then 4 Seconds, You will be Like, “Screw this Site”..I am not going to revisit this site.
Website speed became a ranking factor in April 2010 giving a profoundly high preference to speed to serve their users better.
Now: Some Practical Examples
I have seen many posts that their traffic gradually increased due to their website optimisation. As backlinko states that, “Website Speed is an important ingredient in On Page Seo.”
One of My Friend has seen 200 % Growth in his traffic as well as Ranking. By merely tweaking things, and he optimised his site Like a charm.
Suppose: How Effective website speed Is !!
You are On the Number 2 position in Google Search Engine, But the number 1 position website speed is getting slow day by day.
The user has to wait more than 4 seconds, to Load the site’s article, but on the other hand, your site which is Loading in just 2 seconds.
So the visitor will Love to Visit Your website, Instead of Slow Site. Isn’t that Obvious!!
So Google Will Automatically Drag You in the number 1 Position, As Your site is more user-friendly.
