How (and Why) to Speed Up Your Website - Jon Henshaw

When it comes to building our websites, we sometimes tend to believe that the more info we have on there, the better. But that's not exactly true. Bogging down your website with images and content and code that is unnecessary and slows down your site is a big negative in Google's eyes. If your website doesn't provide an optimal user experience, you will be negatively impacted and rank much lower. Learning how to keep your site running fast – even if that means tweaking your content and photos slightly to accommodate things like different screen sizes and resolutions depending on the type of device it is being viewed on - will go a long way in providing both user satisfaction as well as appeal more favorable to Google. http://www.theagentsofchange.com/205
