HOW TO CHECK LOADING TIME OF YOUR DOMAIN / BLOGGER / WORDPRESS

• Web Page Load Speed is one of the most important factors that Bloggers and Webmasters must take care of to deliver a good user experience. Blog loading time has both direct and indirect impacts on search engine ranking.
• Previously Google didn't include Blog Speed in their Algorithm. On April 9th 2010, Google incorporated site load speed into its ranking algorithm.
• Matt Cutts explained that though a website speed will be paid great attention in all future ranking criteria, but it will still weigh less compared to important factors like relevance, quality, reputation etc. 
• Leaving search engine ranking factor blog load speed also has a direct impact on your traffic. 
• Most of the visitors decide whether to stay on your blog or hit close button in the first 3 seconds.
• That means if your blog doesn't load properly in these 3 seconds you are going to lose almost 50% of visitors thereby increasing your blog bounce rate.

How To Check Speed Of Your Blog?

• There are many tools to check the speed of the blog or website, but Google Speed Test Tool is the best tool which I recommend to all bloggers.
• Go To Google Speed Test Tool.
• Enter the website url and check the speed.
• We scored 90 out of 100 which I feel is not a great score, we are still working on improving the speed of our blog.
• If you scored anywhere between 80 to 90 then you should take this seriously and work cutting down the extra scripts, images, flashes etc.
