SEO Consult Help Webmasters Speed Up Their Web Page Loading Times

April 22, 2010 - PRLog -- Cheshire, England (April 16, 2010) - Industry leading Search Engine Optimisation agency, SEO Consult, have reacted to the news that Google is taking how fast a website loads into consideration when ranking them, by releasing advice for those trying to improve this aspect of their site , alongside information on other SEO factors such as link building, social media optimisation and more.

Google recently announced that website loading speed is definitely a factor in how it ranks particular websites in its results pages, along with a vast number of other considerations. Google currently uses over 200 different factors in its algorithms when determining how to rank a website, including matters such as the relevance of external links, quality of on page content such as blog posts and various other factors relating to offpage optimisation. Google claim the change is not related to the rollout of their long-awaited Caffeine update, and insist that the process of ranking through speed focuses on how long a website takes to respond to a Googlebot and website loading times as measured by the Google Toolbar.

As a key SEO company operating in the United Kingdom today, SEO Consult have long championed the benefits of having a website with minimal loading times in an SEO campaign. They believe that although page loading speed may not be a pivotal ranking factor, every small benefit counts when you look at the whole picture, which is why they have published blogs on the subject of page load speed on the extensive blog and advice section of their website, to help clients make these necessary improvements.

"We've long promoted the benefits of having a fast loading website to our SEO clients, mainly because as a user on the internet it can be immensely frustrating having to wait seconds for a website to load." Commented Matt Bullas, Managing Director of SEO Consult. "Now that Google have confirmed it to be a factor in how it ranks websites, we're expecting to see more people making changes to their website accordingly, which is why we offer SEO advice in our blogs on the ways to help them make this happen. This is also just one small part of the comprehensive SEO services we offer to our clients so that they can get the great rankings that they deserve."
