At first I was panicking because I host this blog myself at home on my Windows 2003 Server and I was worried in case Google were to use 'speed' as a criteria for search placement. Fortunately what Matt Cutts of Google IS saying above is <strong>OPTIMISED</strong>. If your website is well optimised - You're <strong>not wasting space</strong> with huge uncompressed images, you're <strong>not using ETags</strong>, you're <strong>caching static content</strong> etc... then Google <em>will</em><strong> give you credit for that. If you want to find out just how efficient your website is go here: <a href="http://webpagetest.org" rel="nofollow">http://webpagetest.org</a> <strong>Today is the 6th of January</strong> and I can say for sure that Google is now ranking me higher because my <strong>traffic</strong> to this site has <strong>DOUBLED since the New Year!</strong> Trust me, if you haven't already <strong>get optimising NOW!!</strong>. If you don't quite know what to do or where to start, just e-mail me or leave a comment here - and I'll get you started in the right direction. This website now actually loads faster than many mainstream websites that are hosted with major ISP's - LOL!!! Happy New Year! Simon :) New Year’s Update

Well now, it looks as though Google are as good as their word here. At first I was panicking because I host this blog myself at home on my Windows 2003 Server and I was worried in case Google were to use ‘speed’ as a criteria for search placement. Fortunately what Matt Cutts of Google IS saying above is OPTIMISED. If your website is well optimised – You’re not wasting space with huge uncompressed images, you’re not using ETags, you’re caching static content etc… then Google will give you credit for that.
