Very detailed post on speed. I read that Google announced page speed was going to be a factor in their aglorithm. The problem that I’ve struggled with is that, even though I’m using page caching, I’m on a shared host with limited resources. I’m looking into moving to a VPS so I can increase page load speed with more server resources.

Thanks Jared,

I did. Problem is – I switched my server to nginx and that server is currently not officially supported. My attempt to implement it right now didn’t give me desired benefits, super-cache+autoptimize actually outperformed it. With number of rules that has to be created for proper rewrites more then likely I simply missed a thing or two. According to the W3 Total Cache author, Frederick, v1 of plugin will provide native support for nginx, perhaps I will try it then

An update to my comments a couple of months ago. I’ve implemented W3 Total Cache for WordPress including MaxCDN Content Delivery Network, which works with the cache plugin. I’ve found it more robust than the super cache plugin and it works with the CDN, which is great. Load times have decreased significantly and while I had to spend awhile configuring and testing everything, it’s now running faster.

I recommend checking it out.

I never knew site speed made such a difference. Thanks for the advice. I am not too computer savvy but I will try and implement some of the ideas you’ve suggest.

W3 Total Cache has done a great job of making things move a whole lot faster on my blog and Googlebot seems to be happy with that as it’s reporting 8 secs in Webmasters Tool

Hi Spotter

I actually didn’t think the page load speed was a big deal, I found out about it earlier through a forum, but I reasoned that it shouldn’t be a big impact on rankings as Google’s philosophy is towards the relavancy of the content of the website to the keyword use in the search box.

After reading your post it changed my mind, not entirely, but I can see how a faster blog can help out with rankings. And whatever it takes to get higher rankings, even this, I will try to integrate on my own sites.

Thanks
