Do you know how your website ranks when it comes to speed? Google has made this a factor when it comes to how well your site will rank on the mobile search engine results page! Google has named this the “Speed Update” and it is to encourage us to consider the performance for the end user. I do not blame them, I’m sure you can think back to a time that you were trying to look something up only to find the page continuously loading then giving up and moving on- I know I can.

There are a couple of tools for checking the speed of your website. One that we frequent is PageSpeed Insights. All you have to do is copy your URL into the designated space then click “Analyze”. The results will look like this:

As you can see above, this website we created is in pretty good shape! What is great about this tool is not only do they give you a score on your optimization but they supply you with ways on how to better improve your website. I encourage you to try the PageSpeed tool for yourself!

If you tried the tool, how did your site rank? If you saw some Yellow, Red, or maybe you just want to ensure you have an edge on your competition. You can reach out to us at any time! Take advantage of our website best practices and be seen today! Click Here To View Deal!
