Making the Web Faster: Upcoming Google Search Update Will Target Slow Mobile Sites

If you’re hoping to get your mobile website in front of more eyeballs in Google Search, you’d better start with increasing your website’s speed, and you should do it before July 2018. A recent announcement by the search giant revealed the lengths it’s going to integrate site speed into its latest search algorithm change coming this summer. According to Google: The “Speed Update,” as we’re calling it, will only affect pages that deliver the slowest experience to users and will only affect a small percentage of queries. It applies the same standard to all pages, regardless of the technology used

That 1/7 is generous for probably 90% of people. If you’re one of those who have a 70+ inch TV screen, well, you do the math. I don’t want to. I don’t even care if the 1/7 is accurate. Lawsuit-happy Apple never ceases to amaze with some of the crazy things they do. The New iPad?

Building Blocks … A Look Back
