Use Google Webmaster to Check Your Site’s Speed

Have you checked your Google Webmaster Tools account today? If not, this can be good news to you and you might be interested in as it would help your site to gain higher ranking in Google SERPs in the future. This is closely related to Site Speed – the newest factor to determine ranking that will be added to Google algorithm very soon.

I have seen this in my account and feel very happy as I can know my site speed average time for curtain period. This could help me to optimize the loading time to comply with Google Webmaster guidelines and new policy regarding ranking factor. This feature is called “Site Performance”.

You can easily find this feature within your account in the tab “Lab” and here is my site performance for your reference and hope it will be much optimized soon:

What does Site Performance mean to you?

Here is what Google explains about that:

Site Performance is an experimental Webmaster Tools Labs feature that shows you latency information about your site. (To see Site Performance data, you must add and verify your site in Webmaster Tools.)

It shows you the average page load time for pages in your site, the trend over the last few months, and some suggestions on how to make the pages load faster. Page load time is the total time from the moment the user clicks on a link to your page until the time the entire page is loaded and displayed in a browser. It is collected directly from users who have installed the Google Toolbar and have enabled the optional PageRank feature.

All data is processed in aggregate without using or displaying any personally identifiable information. URLs displayed in the Example pages are collected from Google Toolbar. For privacy reasons, query parameters are stripped out. The URLs listed under Page Speed suggestions are based on pages crawled by Google. Their URLs are not truncated. The site-level “average” load time is traffic-weighted (i.e., more popular pages have a bigger say).

You can install extension called Site Speed to evaluate and know how and where to improve your site performance easily.

Thanks Google and hope you enjoy it too.
