          We are not sure that page does matter or not for google ranking as I am working for this keyword "flower delivery in Bangalore" from last few months and I saw some website's google first page who have low page speed but still ranking so I am really worried about my page that has also low page speed.

          will my Bangalore page rank on google the first page if the speed is low and kindly suggest me more tips for the ranking best factors which really works in 2020 and one more thing that domain authority really matters in this year? as I also saw some websites with low domain authority and ranking on google's first page.

          Home page: Flowerportal

          Bangalore page: https://flowerportal.in/flower-delivery/bangalore/

          focus Keyword is: Flower delivery in Bangalore, send flowers to Bangalore

            The question of whether page speed matters for Google ranking is an issue that has been debated for years. The answer, like many SEO questions, is complicated and not black or white.

            There are a lot of factors that go into the rankings algorithm (and there's no guarantee this will change anytime soon) but what we do know is that page speed does affect users' experience which in turn affects their perception of your site.

            People who care about SEO should make sure their pages load quickly because it can improve user experience and build trust with them - two things Google considers when determining rank position. So if you're looking to increase your search engine visibility, take heed: improving your website's performance may just be as easy as updating some plugins.

            For example, one of the website https://pktdesk.com/ ranked for the first position within a week due to the faster loading speed as it's hosted on DigitialOcean.

                  Pagespeed is important and it will be more and more, but I have seen super slow and poorly optimized websites in first positions forever ...

                  authority and seniority matter much more.

                  I hope to be of help, a greeting.

                      The loading speed of your mobile site has a significant effect on the experience of your visitors, and you should not optimize the speed of your desktop site and forget about it. If your mobile site takes more than 3 seconds to load , you need to do something about it. Statistics show that 53% of mobile users abandon a site that takes too long to load. A delay of just one second in page load time can reduce conversions by up to 7% , according to a report by Fast Company.

                      The speed of your mobile site is becoming more and more important, especially after Google released the Speed ​​Update in July 2018 which made accelerated mobile pages a direct ranking factor.

                      For example you can check this Page Speed Score is 97% "best dart board cabinets 2020"

                      Increase the speed of your site's mobile page

                      Most of the tricks to increase the loading speed of your site are covered in our SEO guide on Load Time and will improve the speed of your site on any device. Here are some other tricks that will be particularly effective in increasing the speed of your mobile page.

                      Prioritize content over fold

                      The content that the user of your site will see first should take precedence over the content that they will likely see later. Therefore, the content at the top of the page must load before the content at the bottom of the page. This way, users will not be bothered by loading time, even if the page has not fully loaded. They may not even realize that the bottom portion has not been loaded when they first land on that page.

                      Minimize server response time

                      Server response time is the time it takes your server to respond to a browser request. Google recommends that your server response time be no more than 200 milliseconds. You can minimize response time by improving your server software and configuration.

                      Minimize redirects

                      You should avoid redirects as much as possible, as they slow the loading of a page, especially for mobile users, as they often use less reliable internet connections than desktop users.

                      Consider accelerated mobile pages

                      An Accelerated Mobile Page (AMP) is an HTML page that is very lightweight and therefore loads faster than a typical HTML page. AMPs exclude some elements from a basic HTML page, such as forms. Only items that are suitable for mobile users are uploaded. Images and other media are not uploaded until they are in view. This is what makes AMPs much faster than normal HTML pages.

                      AMPs are cross-platform compatible and cross-browser compatible. Using AMP can reduce your mobile site's loading time by up to 85%. Some sites that already use AMP include The Guardian, Gizmodo, and The Washington Post.

                      Decrease the weight of your site

                      The weight of the page and the quality of the user's internet connection significantly reduce the loading time of a page. To reduce the weight of the page, try to have as little information as possible on it. However, you must be careful not to compromise the relevance and quality of the information on the page in an attempt to minimize the amount of information.

                      With lightweight pages, even a user with a poor internet connection will be able to use your mobile site without much trouble. Lightweight pages also make it easier for a user to scroll through them. Heavy pages can present the challenge of scrolling lag which can be very frustrating.

                      Your site must be able to detect the type of device that is being used to access it and tailor the experience to suit the device. It should also be able to detect a bad internet connection and only upload the information that is absolutely necessary.

                      Google's speed update only affected pages with very slow loading speeds. This means that webmasters have to improve their game when it comes to improving the speed of their mobile sites. A mobile site with slow loading times will be abandoned by Google.

                        Yes, Page speed matters for google ranking. If your page is loading late then the bounce rate will be high that will not give a positive signal to Google.  That's why optimize your images and use light themes.

                              Of course its matter

                              let me show you a few samples. right now I'm searching a keyword on google "Best Vlogging Camera under 100"

                              Check Attachment for Live Proof of Top 3 Ranking Website. Image Name: Best Vlogging Camera under 100

                              Now I'm checking the first 3 website page speed.

                              You can check attachment file for "First Website, Second Website and 3rd Website"

                              the highest Page Speed Score is 93% "https://vloggingguru.com/best-vlogging-camera-under-100/" Now the question is why 2nd number ranking website has highest Page Speed score but still number second ranking. the reason is there has 200 ranking factors more that can help to rank a website. when you type on google "how many ranking factors does google have" you will get 200 ranking factors that google see in our website. Now we can say maybe the number second website misses something that number one ranking website did it for his website like Schema Markup or something others.

                              in the end, we can say "yes its matter" but we can never say it only page speed matter its 200 ranking factors also matter.

                              Thanks

                                  noindex google search engine results seo expert

                                  Hello everyone, I recently started a new wordpress website and created a static homepage. I noticed that on Google search results, there are two different URLs landing on same content page. I've attached an image to explain what I saw. Should I "no-index" the page url? Google url.JPG In this picture, the first result is the homepage and I try to rank for that page. The last result is landing on same content with different URL. So, should I no-index last result as shown in image?

                                  Hi, I was inspecting a website which is covering the topic of best wheelbarrow of 2021, it is a new website and and starts ranking on google. But, after few days it got de-rank automatically and Moz is also not showing any result to that. I was wandering why this just happened and what should I do if I made my website and will not face this kind of situation?

                                  Is there a way to get a list of all pages of your website that are indexed in Google?

                                  I am trying to put together a comprehensive list of all pages that are indexed in Google and have differing opinions on how to do this.

                                  Google has deindexed a page it thinks is set to 'noindex', but is in fact still set to 'index'

                                  A page on our WordPress powered website has had an error message thrown up in GSC to say it is included in the sitemap but set to 'noindex'. The page has also been removed from Google's search results. Page is https://www.onlinemortgageadvisor.co.uk/bad-credit-mortgages/how-to-get-a-mortgage-with-bad-credit/ Looking at the page code, plus using Screaming Frog and Ahrefs crawlers, the page is very clearly still set to 'index'. The SEO plugin we use has not been changed to 'noindex' the page. I have asked for it to be reindexed via GSC but I'm concerned why Google thinks this page was asked to be noindexed. Can anyone help with this one? Has anyone seen this before, been hit with this recently, got any advice...?

                                  Hey guys, for some reason my homepage has gone down in rankings though other pages on my site have not.

                                  This is not something I have ever seen before. The site is still indexed if I search for it directly, but not in top 100 rankings for keywords even though sub-pages are ranking for the given keyword. Changes I have made recently include site transfer to wordpress, force redirect http to https removal of www by redirect and adding new property instance in Google Search Console. I have checked htaccess file and sitemap and all seem fine. ideas? Site: https://dublinSEO.co

                                  Pages removed from Google index?

                                  Hi All, I had around 2,300 pages in the google index until a week ago. The index removed a load and left me with 152 submitted, 152 indexed? I have just re-submitted my sitemap and will wait to see what happens. Any idea why it has done this? I have seen a drop in my rankings since. Thanks

                                  Blog Ranking NOT home page main website?!

                                  Hi, Our Blog (http://blog.thailand-investigation.com) is ranking for some of our major keywords but not our home page (http://www.thailand-investigation.com)!? Our blog is WordPress and our main website is HTML. It seems like the search engines consider that they are 2 separate websites!? When I check the incoming links to our website, I get also the blog links!!!??? Is it normal? Do I have to build a relation of some kind or write some code saying that it is our Blog... I don't know! I'm not a SEO specialist or even a webmaster. I'm a small business owner and take care on my website. I created by myself but never learned! So, please help! Thanks

                                  Are .html pages better for ranking than .asp pages

                                  It seems that .html pages do better for the long tail...
