SEO for website

[Turan Mirza]

The reason why I'm concerned is that various marketing experts are saying that google does rank you lower if your site is slow. In a similar way to the fact that google will rank you lower if you have http and not https. Even if you are not collecting data via web forms and so don't need https, your site will still be ranked lower. Similarly, I'm happy with my site in that I feel people that are loking for my services are speeding through it and so are happy to wait a few seconds for it to load BUT me being happy with the speed and google being happy with it are two different things :-(

Goggle weakly ranks lower non-HTTPS protocols: https://webmasters.googleblog.com/20...ng-signal.html. If I were peddling SEO wares, I would promote this worrry to a poential customer. As I don't sell SEO, I can be more open as suggest it is not that important.

Size matters. Have you looked at the areas I suggested earlier?

We could spin this out for a long time. If you want assistance, you should offer up your URL.
"services" implies sales. If you are selling then the site is working. If you need more than spend time, effort and money on the site not SEOing it to the nth degree.
