Speed<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<p>Before deep-diving into<strong>\u00a0how to get Google-recommended page load time\u00a0<\/strong>and other steps to optimize your page experience for better speed and user experience, let me give you a throwback on how the concept of speed has evolved over the years.<\/p>\n<p>There has always been an obsession for speed if you look at history.<\/p>\n<p>You would notice that each generation has contributed to making speed enhancements during their time, whether in the field of technology, science, or arts.<\/p>\n<p>Today, however, speed has become a major deciding factor.<\/p>\n<p>Be it while buying the car you use for commuting or rating a delivery guy who just handed you a courier.<\/p>\n<p>Each one&#8217;s performance is judged based on the speed at which they complete a particular task.<\/p>\n<p>When you already know that speed has become all-pervasive in our lives, why turn your eyes away from the poor page experience of your website caused by slow\u00a0<strong>page load speed<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p>This blog aims to shed light on the pivotal role that user experience plays in the triumph of any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/managed-seo-services\/\">professional SEO service<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Google_Recommended_Page_Load_Time\"><\/span><strong>What is Google Recommended Page Load Time?\u00a0<\/strong><b><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>recommended page load time<\/strong> for websites on both mobile and desktop devices is &lt;3 seconds, says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkwithgoogle.com\/marketing-resources\/data-measurement\/mobile-page-speed-new-industry-benchmarks\/\">Google<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, the search engine giant says, the current average load time of web pages on mobile devices is 22 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>If you analyze some of the top traffic-driving websites on the internet, you may find a similar pattern &#8211; they all have a load speed of fewer than 4 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re frustrated while driving through slow-moving traffic, you would be even more frustrated when browsing a slow-loading website.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike slow-moving traffic, you have multiple options when it comes to the web.<\/p>\n<p>If you end up on a website with <strong>poor page load speed<\/strong>, you can always go back to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/blog\/top-search-engines-list\/\">search engine<\/a> and choose the immediate competitor.<\/p>\n<p>If this is not the case, you can directly type the address of another website that provides similar services and access it.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a website owner, put this in the perspective of your target audience.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a website that takes more than three seconds to load, you may be doing a favor to your competitors by redirecting your target users.<\/p>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.akamai.com\/2018\/04\/perception-matters-measure-perceived-performance.html\">study conducted by AKAMAI<\/a> in 2018, the traditional <strong>Page Load Speed<\/strong> timing has to be revamped as the users&#8217; expectations have grown along with the page complexity.<\/p>\n<p>The study says that an average internet user in 2018 expects the web page to be fully interactive as soon as it loads.<\/p>\n<p>It says that the initial reaction of a user who enters a page is to either click on a button or scroll down.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, due to the slow Time To Interactivity (TTI), the users end up going through \u201cclick rage,\u201d which is nothing but double-clicking multiple times out of frustration.<\/p>\n<p>This is why it\u2019s crucial for website owners to understand how long the webpage takes to load, at what moment does the user first interacts with the page, and above all, whether the user gets an immersive page experience.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/managed-seo-services\/\">SEO agencies<\/a> and webmasters are innovating these aspects, and a lot of improvements can be expected in the coming days across the web to ensure the page experience stays pleasant and engaging for the users.<\/p>\n<p>Google has been at the forefront in making page experiences faster, and it has come up with <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/web\/tools\/lighthouse\/\">Lighthouse<\/a> &#8211; an open-source, automated tool for improving the website speed quality.<\/p>\n<p>Lighthouse comes pre-loaded along with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/chrome\/\">Chrome browser<\/a>, enabling even a non-technical user to check the page speed experience of a website.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Google_Page_Experience\"><\/span><strong>What is Google Page Experience?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Google is actively looking at strategies that can help improve the users&#8217; search experience.<\/p>\n<p>Since the whole Search ecosystem is based on the quality of the results provided, Google has made systematic improvements to its algorithm to provide users with the best search results.<\/p>\n<p>Talking about search results, Google, during its early days, concentrated more on the content and link aspects.<\/p>\n<p>However, with users now accessing and sharing information (some highly sensitive) from a wide range of devices, Google has stepped up its ranking signals to include page experience.<\/p>\n<p>Page Experience is a set of signals that Google uses to assess the overall quality of the user experience provided by a page.<\/p>\n<p>Even though quality content and links still matter, the page experience will act as one of the many supporting factors that decide the ranking of a webpage.<\/p>\n<p>The page signal becomes a critical ranking factor when multiple websites provide highly relevant content to the users. In such cases, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/blog\/google-algorithm-updates\/\">Google&#8217;s algorithm<\/a> will now give more weightage to the pages that pass all page experience signals.<\/p>\n<p>According to Terry Kyle, CEO at <a href=\"https:\/\/wpx.net\/\">WPX Hosting<\/a>, &#8220;Even if page loading speed had no impact whatsoever on your Google rankings (it does, among other factors), what kind of experience do you want visitors to your website to have? These visitors are people &#8211; potential customers &#8211; that you invested time, money and energy attracting to your site in the first place so why test their patience with a slow website?&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_The_New_Addition_to_Google_Page_Experience_Algorithm\"><\/span>What is The New Addition to Google Page Experience Algorithm?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/webmasters.googleblog.com\/2020\/11\/timing-for-page-experience.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Core Web Vitals<\/a>\u00a0is now part of Google&#8217;s algorithm and has joined the gang of page experience signals, including mobile-friendliness, HTTPS, and intrusive interstitials.<\/p>\n<p>The search engine giant has confirmed in September 2021 that the page experience update is rolled out completely.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Page Experience Ranking Signal Will Come to Desktop Search By Feb 2022<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Starting in February 2022, Google will begin rolling out the <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/search\/blog\/2021\/11\/bringing-page-experience-to-desktop?hl=en\">page experience ranking update to desktop search results<\/a>. Google stated that the rollout will be completed by the end of March 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the page needing to be mobile-friendly, this update will include all of the current signals of the mobile version of the page experience update.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This ranking launch will be based on the same page experience signals that we rolled out for mobile earlier this year,&#8221; said Jeffrey Jose, Product Manager on Search at Google.<\/p>\n<p>We knew it was coming; Google said it would happen back in May 2021 during Google I\/O.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Desktop vs. Mobile Web Vitals<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>What elements will be included in this desktop version? With the exception of the mobile-friendliness requirement, which is self-evident, Google stated all of them. <img \/><\/p>\n<p>This means you have to seriously consider optimizing the page speed experience to avert any web ranking drop.<\/p>\n<p>Are you new to the concept of Core Web Vital?<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t worry.<\/p>\n<p>Most site owners are unaware of Core Web Vitals and don\u2019t know how to check their site for compliance.<\/p>\n<p>A study conducted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.screamingfrog.co.uk\/passing-the-cwv-assessment\/\">ScreemingFrog across 20,000 URLs<\/a> found that only 12% of Mobile and 13% of Desktop results passed this new Google PageSpeed assessment.<\/p>\n<p>This means there is a long way to go for website owners to provide a great page speed experience.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why we decided to provide succinct solutions to some of the most commonly asked questions about Google\u2019s new addition to page experience ranking signal.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_Web_Vitals\"><\/span><b>What Are Web Vitals?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>According to Google, Web Vitals is a <a href=\"https:\/\/web.dev\/vitals\/\">user experience signal<\/a> that analyzes a web page\u2019s quality.<\/p>\n<p>It is a unified guide that webmasters can keep as a benchmark. It is largely believed that Web Vitals-friendly sites give users a superior page experience.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Metrics Within Web Vitals\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>There are 9 metrics within the Web Vitals that can be found in the Chrome user experience report. Webmasters can optimize the user experience of their website using these 9 key user experience metrics.<\/p>\n<p>These metrics are used to interpret the page experience of websites either using PageSpeed Insights field data analysis or through real-time simulations.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>First<b> Paint<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The first paint refers to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/blog\/key-moments-for-video\/\">key moments<\/a> after the browser starts rendering the page. This involves the rendering of non-default background paints.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><b>First Contentful Paint\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is the critical juncture in webpage rendering wherein the browser displays any text or images (not essentially with the exact CSS styles.) This is the first time users see a visual element in their browser window.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><b>DOMContentLoad<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>DOMContentLoaded is the time frame wherein the initial HTML is rendered completely.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><b>Onload<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is the moment when all the dependent resources, including stylesheets and images, are loaded.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><b>First Input Delay<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>FID measures a user&#8217;s experience when trying to interact with a partially loaded page.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><b>Largest Contentful Paint<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At this point, users see the main critical content within the page.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><b>Cumulative Layout Shift<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Users may experience a shift in layout after a page loads the CSS. If this shift happens when the user is on the verge of taking a decisive move, it results in a bad user experience signal.<\/p>\n<p>Making the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/blog\/cumulative-layout-shift\/\"> Cumulative Layout Shift<\/a> as low as possible gives the page visual stability and ensures a better user experience.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><b>Title to First Byte<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Time to First Byte is a user experience metric that aids in knowing the responsiveness of the webserver and other network resources.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><b>Notification Permission<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Notifications API allows web pages to control the display of system notifications to the end-user.<\/p>\n<p>Out of these 9 web vitals metrics, three are critical to user experience signals, and they combine to form the Core Web Vitals.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_Core_Web_Vitals\"><\/span><strong>What Are Core Web Vitals?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Great content supplemented with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/blog\/high-quality-backlinks\/\">quality links<\/a> should be able to help your rank on top, right?<\/p>\n<p>Sorry, that&#8217;s an old adage, and starting 2021, this whole web ranking dynamic has gone for a toss.<\/p>\n<p>Here is why.<\/p>\n<p>Google is now assessing the Core Web Vitals score of your web pages along with the other ranking factors before deciding the ranking positions.<\/p>\n<p>That essentially means you have one more known ranking factor joining the list of 200+ Google algorithm signals.<\/p>\n<p>The good thing is that you know what Core Web Vitals are and optimize your website.<\/p>\n<p>By now, you may already be thinking about what\u2019s this new ranking factor and how your website can achieve the perfect web vitals score.<\/p>\n<p>But before that, let me clarify: Core Web Vitals is a set of page experience metrics that analyze <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/blog\/google-pagespeed-insights\/google-recommended-speed\/\">the page load speed<\/a>, interactivity, and, most importantly, visual stability.<\/p>\n<p>Google will analyze each of these separately to know the overall user experience provided by a page.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Which are the 3 Core Web Vitals Metrics?<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><b>Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Largest Contentful Paint: LCP refers to the largest piece of content that is on a page. This is usually an image or video that takes the maximum time to render as the page loads.<\/p>\n<p>According to Google, it\u2019s ideal to keep the Largest Contentful Paint below 2.5 seconds. Anything above 4 seconds is considered poor, and it can impact the web rankings starting 2021.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/LCP-Core-Web-Vitals.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10309 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/LCP-Core-Web-Vitals.jpg\" alt=\"LCP (largest Contentful Paint)\" width=\"800\" height=\"230\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><b>First Input Delay (FID)<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While the Largest Contentful Paint is related to the page load speed, the First Input Delay (FID) is more focused on interactivity.<\/p>\n<p>The data is related to the responsiveness of the page when the user first tries to interact with it, for example, clicking the read more link. The idea FID is less than 100ms.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/FID-Web-Core-vitals.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10310 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/FID-Web-Core-vitals.jpg\" alt=\"FID (First Input Delay)\" width=\"800\" height=\"230\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><b>Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Google&#8217;s CLS score is the most critical aspect of the Coreweb score, and it is related to the stability of a web page.<\/p>\n<p>Google considers the visual stability of a page as an important usability factor.<\/p>\n<p>A shift in the position of design elements can confuse the users and sometimes even result in unintended actions.<\/p>\n<p>This causes great annoyance to the users, and Google now wants such pages to be pulled down in the search results.<\/p>\n<p>Any unexpected layout shift that occurs during the loading of a page, mostly due to position changes in the viewport, results in low CLS.

This was the first time that Google is fore-warning the implications of an upcoming ranking factor.<\/p>\n<p>There has been a lot of discussions after Google made this big statement last week, and one of these was about websites that have AMP enabled.<\/p>\n<p>As you know, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/blog\/accelerated-mobile-pages\/\">AMP<\/a> makes the pages lighting fast, and since the pages are rendered from Google&#8217;s cache, they load in split seconds on mobile devices. So, does that mean that such AMP-enabled pages are automatically Web Vitals friendly?<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/webmasters\/thread\/86521401?hl=en\">FAQ answer provided by Google on Core WebVitals<\/a>, it&#8217;s almost certain that all AMP pages meet the minimum requirements of passing the WebVitals score.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last few months, we here at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/\">Stan Ventures<\/a> found that optimizing the mobile Page Speed Experience is tricky and requires a lot of backend tweaks.<\/p>\n<p>Since AMP is meant to make sites load quickly from Google&#8217;s own cache, it offers the best page speed experience.<\/p>\n<p>This means that most of the sites out there have already become Web Vitals-friendly without breaking a sweat.<\/p>\n<p>Google also warns that despite the possibility of most of the AMP-enabled pages being web vitals friendly, heavy images and things outside of AMP&#8217;s control could impact the speed.<\/p>\n<p>So if you have an AMP-enabled website, check how it&#8217;s performing on Google&#8217;s cached version.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Have_you_done_Web_Vitals_Check\"><\/span><strong>Have you done Web Vitals Check?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If not, you should get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/managed-seo-services\/\">professional SEO help<\/a> now to analyze it or do it yourself by following the steps that I\u2019m going to explain below.<\/p>\n<p>Before that, let me give you a brief understanding of this new Google web ranking signal and how it got all this attention in such a short period.<\/p>\n<p>Page Speed has been a part of SEO discussion for a long time, and webmasters tried their best to make sure that they are getting an overall score above 80% or 90%.<\/p>\n<p>If you have used tools such as<a href=\"https:\/\/tools.pingdom.com\/\"> Pingdom<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/gtmetrix.com\/\">GTMetrix<\/a>, adding a cache plugin or minimizing the CSS or JavaScript might give you a good speed score, which of course, makes you feel good.<\/p>\n<p>But these are bots and not real humans who are doing the analysis.<\/p>\n<p>Speed is now a secondary factor, and the user experience signal has taken the central stage.<\/p>\n<p>This is where Web Vitals come into the picture.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Here is how I checked the Page Speed of one of our AMP pages.\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>Step 1: <\/b>Open Inspect Element in Chrome and choose any responsive design from the toggle.<\/p>\n<p><b>Step 2:<\/b> Do a Google search for the keyword you are ranking to see the AMP version of the page on the search.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image1-e1608628574329.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11323 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image1-e1608628574329-1024x981.png\" alt=\"testing web vitals on mobile\" width=\"1024\" height=\"981\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 3: <\/b>Click on the result to see the AMP version of the page rendered from Google\u2019s server.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11320 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image4-1024x598.png\" alt=\"google cache\" width=\"1024\" height=\"598\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 3:<\/b> Copy the URL and paste it into <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/speed\/pagespeed\/insights\/\">PageSpeed Insights tool.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11322 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image2-1024x689.png\" alt=\"amp url in google\" width=\"1024\" height=\"689\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 4:<\/b> Click on Analyze to Generate Report<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11321 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image3-1024x793.png\" alt=\"page experience score\" width=\"1024\" height=\"793\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Good_PageSpeed_Score_Alone_Cant_Rank_You_1\"><\/span><b>Good PageSpeed Score Alone Can&#8217;t Rank You #1<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Let me make this clear for you.<\/p>\n<p>An improved PageSpeed score alone is not the secret recipe to rank on Google!<\/p>\n<p>Content and links will remain as the core elements that decide the primary ranking of a page on search results.

In the recent Google I\/O that concluded on May 8th, Google engineers introduced a new term called \u2018Performance Budget.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Performance Budget sets the standards for assessing the performance of your website. The performance budget of a website can be gauged based on different factors. These factors help webmasters identify and fix issues before the users can experience them.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TTI &#8211; You can set the TTI or the Time To Interactive as one of the metrics to understand whether the users are getting a seamless web experience.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resources &#8211; If your webpage has less than 150 kb of resources in the form of text, images, and js, it\u2019s generally considered good. The smaller the size of JavaScript, the faster the page will load.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lighthouse Performance Index &#8211; If the site has an overall speed score of 90 above in Lighthouse, it\u2019s generally considered a positive load speed signal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Many top companies like Walmart and Twitter have already set a performance budget to ensure the final build that goes live to the users is not laggy. If a new page resource affects the performance budget by at least 1%, the resource is sent to the technical team to get fixed.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this, Google has also announced that the Lighthouse tool will now support the resource quantity budget JSON file that can be uploaded within the Command Line Interface of Lighthouse.<\/p>\n<p>The new LightWallet feature ensures that the performance budget goals set by your developers are meeting the expectations. This new feature is currently available in the CLI version of Lighthouse. This has been specifically built for small businesses to take control of their website\u2019s load speed without much hassle.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Set_a_Performance_Budget\"><\/span><strong>How to Set a Performance Budget?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A basic budget file created as a JSON script includes resource types, the budget allocated and the overall total requests. If you have trouble creating the budget.json file, you can visit the site <a href=\"https:\/\/perf-budget-calculator.firebaseapp.com\/\">Performance Budget Calculator<\/a>, which can generate a report for your website.<\/p>\n<p>According to research conducted by Google in collaboration with Awwwards, it was found that <strong>Page Load Speed<\/strong> has the most impact on the user&#8217;s mobile experience.<\/p>\n<p>The study also says that the load speed of a page must be considered critical. Other factors, like the ease of finding what the users are looking for, how well the site fits into the screen, the simplicity and attractiveness of the site are all less important than the load speed of a page.<\/p>\n<p>The relationship between the high load speed and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/blog\/bounce-rate\/\">bounce rate<\/a> is a subject that requires no introduction. You already know that if you have a site that takes forever to load, the users landing on the page will bounce off without interaction.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkwithgoogle.com\/marketing-resources\/data-measurement\/mobile-page-speed-new-industry-benchmarks\/\">Recent research done by Google<\/a> has found that a site that loads within 1-3 seconds has a possible 32% increase in bounce rate. Moreover, a site that loads in 1-5 seconds will possibly have a 90% increase in the bounce rate.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3909 aligncenter\" title=\"New Industry Benchmarks for Mobile Page Speed\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mobile-page-speed-new-industry-benchmarks.jpg\" alt=\"mobile speed benchmark\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<p>From a business perspective, the load speed of your website has a direct impact on the ROI and the success of your business.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine yourself as the owner of a product-based website that takes 6 seconds to load. If 90% of your visitors bounce off the site due to lack of speed, it can decrease the number of sales and page views, thereby affecting the overall success of your business. Investing time and money to optimize your website for speed will pay off, says Google.<\/p>\n<p>Google recently gave an example during Google I\/O about how Pinterest and Tinder increased their ROI by improving the <strong>Page Load Speed<\/strong>. It has to be noted that Pinterest and Tinder are official partners of Google.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Case Study of Tinder Website<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Tinder, which saw a decrease in the number of swipes on their website, decided to decrease its payload to 210 kb. To achieve the performance budget of 210 kb, the developers reduced the main JavaScript load to less than 150 kb and set their lazy load images to less than 50 kb.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Result<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>After implementing the speed improvements, Tinder was able to reduce the TTI to less than 6 seconds on the 3G network, which resulted in a more number of swipes from the website than from mobile devices.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Case Study of Pinterest<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Pinterest saw a decrease in user engagement and went ahead to implement the performance budget. They used advanced tools to bring down the size of the JavaScript payload by 200 kb.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Result<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Soon after the implementation of the new build, the Time To Interactive decreased by 6 seconds. Above all, the new speed optimized website started providing more ROI to Pinterest, and they saw monthly revenue growth of 44%. The website is now their primary source for more signups.<\/p>\n<p>With all these put together, Google is fundamentally trying to convey to webmasters that its core business, which is search, is using speed as one of the major factors for ranking and displaying websites, Period.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_calculate_the_ideal_performance_budget_for_your_website\"><\/span><strong>How to calculate the ideal performance budget for your website?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For a website that aims for a TTI of 4 seconds, it may have to decrease the size of the images, JavaScript, and other resources to less than 400 kb.

We analyzed the Web Vitals score of some of the in-house websites after making minor changes.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Installed a Cache Plugin<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimized the CSS<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimized JavaScript<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Used Defer Attribute<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enabled GZip<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enabled LazyLoad<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The result was nothing impressive worth sharing. The GTMetrics and Pingdom tool said we were doing great, but the Google Web Vitals Extension said the page experience signals sucked.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line of our research was that moving the elements from top to bottom and removing the render-blocking javascript will all help you only if you have strong technical backing.<\/p>\n<p><b>Here is why:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>1. Server response time can be improved by installing a cache plugin, but it only works when the users revisit your site. This is very useful when your users browse through multiple pages. But let\u2019s say that you haven\u2019t set the right expiry for the resources, the whole purpose of adding the cache plugin may be futile.<\/p>\n<p>2. Making drastic changes to the load sequence of JavaScript and CSS can result in a bad page experience. Those you may get a 90+ rating on third-party tools, users may experience volatile changes as the page unfolds in the browser.<\/p>\n<p>3. There is no one panacea for all the fixes for page speed. If you are running a WordPress site, or any other CMS, you need to install multiple plugins for optimization. This can further deteriorate the speed of the site.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Optimizing Images for Page Speed<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>One of the prime reasons for bad page experience is the heavy payload of images that are rendered by browsers as page loads.<\/p>\n<p>Better image optimization will speed up the site and help you to achieve the perfect Web Vitals score. Here are a few quirky ways to optimize images:<\/p>\n<p><b>Use Image CDN:<\/b> If you have an image-heavy design, your server is already stressed out when delivering the resources to the user&#8217;s browser. It also provides other resources within the payload simultaneously to the browser, making the user wait long for the whole page to load.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/CDN.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10222 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/CDN.png\" alt=\"CDN delivery of content\" width=\"914\" height=\"631\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Using the image CDN servers, you take the pressure off from your server as the images are served using CDN servers in the closest proximity to the user&#8217;s location. Currently, AWS and Cloudflare are the best Image CDN providers in the market.<\/p>\n<p><b>WebP Format:<\/b> Ever tried using the WebP format for your images? This is a Google-approved image format that reduces the image size by at least 36% compared to JPEG.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WebP.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10223 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WebP.png\" alt=\"webp format for images\" width=\"1432\" height=\"1014\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Most of the modern-day CDNs deliver images in WebP format as it supports transparency, and typically provide 3\u00d7 smaller file sizes compared to PNG.<\/p>\n<p><b>LazyLoad:<\/b> LazyLoad has been there for a long time, and this is a tried and tested strategy to reduce the load speed.<\/p>\n<p>We found that lazy loading images will improve the web vitals score as the server is not loaded with image requests all of a sudden.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Lazy-Load.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10224 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Lazy-Load.png\" alt=\"LazyLoad for images\" width=\"1600\" height=\"919\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>With LazyLoad enabled, only the initial set of images are rendered while users land on the page, giving them a seamless user experience.<\/p>\n<p>The other images load only when the users reach a particular viewpoint.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Optimizing Java and CSS<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><b>GZIP Compression<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/GZip-Compression.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10227\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/GZip-Compression.jpg\" alt=\"gzip for speed\" width=\"1109\" height=\"518\" \/><\/a><\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you enable GZIP compression, it can reduce the size of the transferred resource significantly, and hence reduce the time to download the resources as well. GZIP compression has become a standard practice for the majority of websites.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><b>Minifying Resources<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Minify-Scrips.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10228\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Minify-Scrips.png\" alt=\"minify scripts\" width=\"1600\" height=\"986\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Minification is the process of removing redundant data from your JS and CSS files. It is done to reduce load time on websites and bandwidth usage.<\/p>\n<p>To minify JS, CSS, and HTML files, comments and extra spaces need to be removed. This can be done with the help of most optimization plugins.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><b>Combine Javascript and CSS<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Combine-Java-CSS.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10229\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Combine-Java-CSS.jpg\" alt=\"Combine Java CSS scripts\" width=\"1089\" height=\"543\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b> <\/b>When you combine Javascript and CSS files, it reduces the number of requests and speeds up the process of rendering. For example, if your page loads 5 external Javascript and CSS files each, combining them will result in 8 lesser requests.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, CSS files are all rendered blocking, which means the more CSS files are loaded, the more likely it is to interrupt a page\u2019s critical path. Multiple Javascript files can also limit the parsing of your HTML document when deferred improperly.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><b>Reduce Render Blocking<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/blocking-resources.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10230\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/blocking-resources.png\" alt=\"reduce render blocking resources\" width=\"880\" height=\"298\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Slow PageSpeed is often the result of excessive use of Javascript and CSS. Before eliminating render-blocking scripts, you need to identify which scripts are causing the problem. You can use the PageSpeed Insights tool to analyze which scripts are slowing down your site.<\/p>\n<p>You can force JS files to wait to load until other elements of the page are ready. One of the most sought-after ways to defer JS is through asynchronous loading.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><b>Deliver Javascript and CSS using CDN<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/cdn.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10231 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/cdn.jpg\" alt=\"Deliver Javascript and CSS using CDN\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Unless you use CDN, you are using your server bandwidth for loading Javascript and CSS files. It is possible to reduce the load on your server without the CDN, but only to a certain extent.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve analyzed that websites that have enabled the below features successfully reduced the server load and allowed faster rendering.<b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><b>Optimizing the Font<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Custom fonts may make your site look really attractive, but such font rendering behavior can increase the load on servers and slow down your site.<\/p>\n<p>To fix this issue, ensure that your CDN can override font rendering behavior.<\/p>\n<p>By doing so, your CDN can swap the rendered text and display the original text as it loads on the CSS. Since both resources are delivered simultaneously from the same server, the actions occur in a few microseconds.\u00a0<b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><b>Embed Codes<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Embedded images and videos can slow down the speed of a website. Many businesses cannot choose to ignore these features on their site. For them, Google recommends lazy loading, which means that these media files will load only when promoted by the users.<\/p>\n<p>Implementing this technique has shown a 70% performance improvement in LightHouse.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><b>Conclusion<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Core Web Vitals might seem like a complicated concept but achieving a perfect score isn&#8217;t a mammoth task. It will enhance the user experience by several folds and aids in conversions.<\/p>\n<p>If your web page takes forever to load, people will choose to leave your site and visit your competitors, or they&#8217;ll keep clicking on your webpage in frustration. This action is known as &#8220;click rage,&#8221; which is an actionable insight for many webmasters to improve their site loading speed.<\/p>\n<p>Google has benchmarked the average page load speed of webpages on mobiles and desktops to 3 seconds. The majority of high-ranking websites fall under this speed threshold. With this new ranking factor, Google will now ensure that websites prioritize user experience above everything else. Failing to do so will lead to consequences like losing web traffic and SERP rankings.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_on_Page_Speed\"><\/span><strong>Frequently Asked Questions on Page Speed<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Q. What is the ideal page speed for any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/blog\/increase-revenue-digital-content-marketing\/\">content to rank better<\/a> on SERP?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Ans. Google measures page speed by categorizing pages as really good or pretty bad. As per Google&#8217;s Martin Splitt, there&#8217;s not much of a threshold between the two extremes as far as the Google algorithm is concerned. From this statement, you can understand that there is no ideal speed that Google is looking for. You just have to make sure that the pages are fast enough to load and whether it will make a visitor stay or leave your website.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Q. If a website\u2019s mobile speed using the Test My Site tool is good and GTmetrix report scores are high, how important are high Google PageSpeed Insights scores for SEO?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Ans. Google&#8217;s John Mueller recommends using different types of these tools and looking at the data to discover the glitches on your web pages that are slowing the website down. Each of these tools measures slightly different things and presents results in a different way; hence Splitt from Google suggests site owners be mindful about it and choose the best one for their audience.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Q. What is the best metric(s) to look at when deciding if page speed is \u201cgood\u201d or not? Why \/ why not should we focus on metrics like FCP (First Contentful Paint) \/ FMP (First Meaningful Paint) instead of scores given by tools like PageSpeed Insights?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Ans. It depends. The importance of these metrics depends on what users are doing on your website. If they intend to visit your site to just read content and not interact with anything, then FMP and FCP would be the best metrics to look at. On the other hand, if people are landing on your page and interacting with things immediately, then the best metrics would be TTI and FCI. Splitt and Mueller from Google recommend site owners to look at multiple sets of data and find areas of improvement according to what&#8217;s important for the audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before deep-diving into \u00a0how to get Google-recommended page load time and other steps to optimize your page experience for better
