    Google Now Counts Site Speed As A Ranking Factor

    "Google has kept a promise it made last year: Site speed is now a ranking factor in Google’s algorithm, and is already in place for U.S. searchers. But Google also cautions web site owners not to sacrifice relevance in the name of faster web pages, and even says this new ranking factor will impact very few queries."

      It's been a factor since Jan 1st, when caffeine was introduced.

              Aye... it says that in the first line

              However - if they tell us about a factor, clearly... it must be pretty damn important at some point.

                      If Google measure the relative and average speed on pages (speed per byte), then sacrifice won't be problem.

                                  That is why memcache, page cache, object cache and frag cache has been on all my blogs.

                                      I would think the most popular terms with popular sites are the test cases... given some time, I would expect that they incorporate this into most popular listings that have popular related websites competing for rankings.

                                      As a user of google, I would rather the faster site be first...

                                                  The speed of your site and the ability of the bot to index or deep index your site has always been a factor. This isn't that.

                                                      I think it just became public, but I believe it's been a factor for some time...
