How would you react if I told you that Google hates slow-loading sites? Yes, you heard that right. In this episode, we're tackling the often overlooked importance of site speed in SEO.
We'll explore how Google's user-centric approach places a high value on quick, snappy websites that deliver not just the right answers, but also a smooth user experience.
In the following part of our chat, we'll get hands-on with tools like Google's Page Speed Insights and Pingdom Website Speed Test - invaluable resources that will help you assess your site's performance. We'll also delve into some practical hacks to supercharge your website speed, from the simple act of compressing your images to the more complex task of enabling browser caching and employing a content delivery network (CDN).
