    Smile Web Page Loading Time

    Hi,

    Many of webmasters told me reducing page loading decrease your website bounce rate. Do you people have any idea about what is the actual website page loading time that search engines prefer? Any suggestion welcome

    Thanks

    If you sign up for a free Google WEBMASTER TOOLS account and configure your site within it, you'll see where your page-loading time falls with respect to all other sites.

    There is an online tool iwebtool.com/speed_test where you can enter up to 10 websites and check what the loading time is. Enter a range of different sites so you can get an idea of what it should take.

    You may also want to consider that Google told you this, no one else. Rankings are effected somewhat. If you are in a tie with someone you will be below them. But there are so many other factors in rankings.

    First make a site that is good and engages the customer. Then worry about Google. they will change their algorithm every 6 months so do not do what they say. Make your company good. Google is a company out for themselves. be leery what the originator of stuff like this.

    Not sure if there's an exact preferential loading time because I think it also depends on the web site. I mean, a useful site that's nothing but text typically will load a lot faster than a (still useful) images/videos web site.
    I think you need to understand bounce rate though; that's when a visitor looks at your 1st page and then leaves to do another search (since they didn't find what they were looking for). If you have a high bounce rate, it may have less to do with page load time, and more with the possibility that your keywords/titles/etc. aren't matched with what your actual web site content consists of...
