Google has introduces a new tool called Page Speed Online. This tool can figure out your website speed and give suggestions of making a website faster. There are three priorities that Google has setup for a page (high priority, medium priority, and low priority). All these priorities containing suggestions for a web page, which means that Google is giving you tips and suggestions to make a website faster. Let me give you a detail overview on all mentioned priorities.
High Priority
These suggestions represent the largest potential performance wins for the least development effort. You should address these items first: Leverage browser caching, Combine images into CSS sprites, Minify JavaScript.
Medium Priority
Medium priority. These suggestions may represent smaller wins or much more work to implement. You should address this item next: Defer parsing of JavaScript.
Low Priority
These suggestions represent the smallest wins. You should only be concerned with these items after you’ve handled the higher-priority ones: Minify HTML, Prefer asynchronous resources, Specify a cache validator, Optimize images, Remove query strings from static resources, Specify a Vary: Accept-Encoding header.
What is Page Speed Score?
The Page Speed Score indicates how much faster a page could be. A high score indicates little room for improvement, while a lower score indicates more room for improvement. The Page Speed Score does not measure the time it takes for a page to load.
I’m hoping that today’s article will help you understanding Google Page Speed Online Tool.
Folks! I have received so many emails today regarding a PR update. Yes it has happend (27th of June, 2011). I havn’t seen any change to my websites, but surely its an update, which has been occured on 27th Morning. By seeing this change, I inteded to review few of my friends websites. I’d like to share what I have been experiencing on their websites.
What John Says:
“Woke up today, to a lovely surprise of one of my main websites, the one that I consider my baby, has dropped from a 5 to a 3. Massive kick in the balls, after years of hard work.”
What Ifi Says:
—–googlebot is crawling my website like mad since yesterday —–
“My crawl rate also sky rocketed in the last day or two. It went from very low (relative to site average) to the highest I’ve seen in 3-4 months. Very strange.”
What Stphen Says:
“pr updated for my site from 4 to 3″
What Keliman Says:
“I see google UK been demoted to pr7 from pr8 also seen some sites go up to pr8. My own site went from 1 to 3 and another site from 4 to 3. Not that it means anything but i think the measures here are a little optimistic, my site that raised has no links in the last 2 years the site that dropped has had some great links … Hey ho business as usual.”
It seems that the changes are made into a google Algo. Its an update which has been calculated a month ago. This change is very similar to the last change. It means that Google still considering healthy backlinks pointing to a website but either considering content quality. I have seen drops on the websites those are not equipped with the quality content, also seeing there is a big drop of backlinks. So its just a normal change which has been found on different google servers. Sites from UK got good reputation and went to a good PR. Asian sites going down from a good PR. Overall its a drop in keyword ranking, also drops in PR and Backlinks, too.
Tips to Remeber:
How to get success on the web – SEs are not the only way
I have been researching around the years for better ways of attracting web visitors to a particular site and found many ways. Some of the rules we need to follow is keeping users trend in mind. Here is a simple rule to success on the web:
Make your site useful and then tell people about it. That’s not so complicated, really. Figure out how your site can be useful to people and then find as many ways as possible to let people know about it. You’ll use the search engines, of course, but you should be using other methods, too. Remember, the search engines are not the only way to get people to your site. In fact, many Web sites have succeeded without using the search engines as their primary method of attracting visitors to the site. It’s unlikely that search engines were a large factor in Amazon’s success — Amazon grew rapidly mainly because of the enormous press attention it received, beginning in 1994. Today, I’d bet that relatively few people arrive at Amazon.com through the search engines. Rather, they already know the Amazon brand and go straight to the site, or they go through the hundreds of thousands of Amazon affiliate sites.
Many successful companies have done little or nothing to promote themselves through the search engines, yet they still turn up at the top when you search for their products or services. Why? Because their other promotions have also helped to push them higher in the search engines, by creating thousands, even tens or hundreds of thousands, of links to them around the Internet. There have been different techniques moving around, but still experts are in a process of searching more ways to get success on the web. Like in 1994, people usually talk about link building, cool websites, etc. Similarly in year 2000 people were looking for unique and textual contents. I’d like to add here that the textual contents means the contents with full of information. And then communities picked up the local attraction, visitors more likely to visit communities based websites. But I’m still saying that content is a king, no matter it is unique but useful for an individual.
Lot of people want to know “What can I do to get higher listings
in the search engines”. Here are 3 tips I use that have never let
me down:
1. Keyword Research – This is big. Too many times people try to
get their sites to rank for one word searches like “cars”. This is
too hard to do and I wouldn’t even recommend trying it. Plus did
you know 2 and 3 keyword search terms almost always convert better
for you? So look for 2 or 3 keyword search terms like “used cars”
or “used car dealerships”. You’ll find it’s much easier to rank
for these. Another trick is to look at the number of pages Google
returns. If it shows over 30,000 pages it’s probably a hard search
term to rank for so I’d keep looking.
2. Keyword Location — Put a paragraph containing your keywords
towards the top of your page (or at least at the beginning of your
content) . Also put the keyword phrase in your title and meta
description. Don’t over stuff your page with the keyword phrase.
Overuse can hurt you here.
3. Number of Words on the Page – Keep this around 350 words. You
can still rank well for pages that don’t have this many words, but
remember the search engines love content and 350 words seems
to be the magic number.
So there it is. 3 quick tips that you can use to get better search
listings. You can also use the free article spinning tool to
re-purpose your content for more than one search phrase. Don’t try
to have one page rank for more than one search term. It’s much
easier to just create a new page specifically tailored to the
search term you researched in tip 1.
