Finally! After all the years of emphasising how important it is for your pages to be small and load quickly, google is finally allocating value to this aspect of a website.

We operate in South Africa, and our internet service is one of the slowest in the world. Because of this we've made a concerted effort to
make our websites load as fast as possible. It is awesome to hear that we'll be rewarded for our efforts now!

The bottom line is that search engine algorithms strive to emulate human response, and a slow loading page is likely to make a user lose interest and go look for information / services somewhere else.

Thanks for sharing this tool. But what should be the ideal load time for a page?

nope just show me what you got

Wow, your page loads in 1.9 seconds, I'm uber jealous. Mine averages between 6-14 seconds. I definately need to put my site on a diet!

I hear that your page should load no later than 2-4 seconds (dsl). Mine averages around two seconds but goes up from time to time.
