Secondly, speed has become a major issue when it comes to SEO. Search engines, and particularly Google, now take the loading speed of a page into consideration when ranking the page for result pages. In particular, slow loading sites will be pushed down in the search results.

Giving people links to slow sites is not a good idea, so fast-loading sites will now appear higher in the search engine result pages.
