Just checked my site with the page speed insights tool and followed the guidelines. Checked it again and had a score of 90/100! Also checked it with pingdom.com and giftofspeed.com and the loading times have improved! Happy! 🙂

As a non-tech person who runs a blog, and an Envato purchased shop, I found some of this hepful but some of it incomprehensible. Google assumes every user has a considerable degree of technical knowledge which is not the case. This is something Google does not address (they could rule the world if they did!) The information you present here will take a considerable time to review, as a non-tech person, although things like optimising images has always been a given for us. It seems, using the GTMetrix, we are not doing badly at all. We have a good host (Rochen.com) and now just need to ‘minify’ stuff 😉

Interesting, on one of my sites https://www.hickoryspot.com we manage to get 95 for both mobile and desktop views. -5 for adsense and GA codes… but our other websites are 100 because we don’t use ads or GA on any of them and we have used various themes as well. (its always good to experiment)* Thanks for the useful info!

Yeah, I like your comment bro… You are right. Google have Google pagespeed insights but not as a ranking factor but the only Google consider is speed. hhhmmm.. Well said.

Hi!

I meant that Google does not consider the Insights tool *itself* as a rank determining factor. But yes, it does take into account *speed* as a metric.

Like I mentioned in the article too, PageSpeed Insights != absolutely good page speed; a CDN might sometimes affect the Insights score adversely, but of course it will enhance the page speed and by that logic, possibly the search rank, all other things being constant. 🙂

Technically speaking, Google does not use the PageSpeed Insights tool to determine search engine ranking (but may do in the future).

Actually Google has been using speed in their search algorithm for more than 4 years now. It only affected less than 1% of search terms when they introduced it, but it's a fair bet that it's a much higher percentage now. :)
