Google today made quite a revelation of its innovative project to improve higher its mobile results, it also reveals that page speed has been used in its search ranking for sometime now which has been largely for desktop searches. The big search giant says, starting from July 2018, mobile page speed will be a ranking factor on Google.

Google started labeling sites as “mobile-friendly” In November 2014 to indicate pages optimized for phones. Google then used few years experimenting with using the label as a ranking factor, ultimately pushing those changes in April 2015 and increasing the effect in May 2016. The label was removed in August 2016 as the company noted that most pages had become “mobile-friendly.”

Google now emphasize on the mobile friendly feature to encourage mobile pages to load faster.

Here is how Google explains it:

The “Speed Update,” as we’re calling it, will only affect pages that deliver the slowest experience to users and will only affect a small percentage of queries. It applies the same standard to all pages, regardless of the technology used to build the page. The intent of the search query is still a very strong signal, so a slow page may still rank highly if it has great, relevant content.

This innovation is a good push from Google to help speed up mobile web. The company rolled out its new Search Console to all website registered with it. The Search Console tools which help webmasters to analyze and site indexing on SERP, view analytics, peruse inbound links, remove and add content for crawling, monitor malware etc.

Although, Google will not offer a tool that will directly indicates whether a page will be affected by this new mobile ranking factor or not. Instead, the company points to three of its own resources that developers can use to evaluate their mobile page’s performance: Chrome User Experience Report, Lighthouse, and PageSpeed Insights.

Additionally, this announcement doesn’t mention Google’s Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) project. At its I/O developers conference last year, the company shared that AMP pages now load twice as fast from Google Search, and just last week the team announced that AMP URLs will be getting a makeover. It doesn’t look like implementing AMP is enough to get a boost from this upcoming Speed Update — Google wants developers to improve their mobile site performance across the board.

Soon?

colonized already

I like this. My blog will probably get a higher ranking. I just need to fix some annoying H tags.

Well Google is the internet police and continues to trouble webmasters...they give me sleepless nights trying to be on their good side.. ... They are not just saying it, Google is indirectly pushing for global implementation of accelerated mobile pages.... I tested amp recently on my website, and I discovered that I ranked more... Most of my articles ranking second jump to first, and other articles that were ranking low experienced a huge jump. Admittedly, amp innovation from Google is great, the speed is revolutionary. The preloading preferences of amp pages makes it load instantaneously but I had to disable it... I use animated ads and it's not supported in amp. Since I can't live without ads, this ads are my ways of promoting my services to visitors. It's how I make money... Now I'm not going to use amp, but I will optimize to achieve amp speed. Killing 2 birds with a stone.

My advice to bloggers is to work on implementing amps. Unlike me, I know most bloggers out there uses adsense so you have no problem with amp compatibility, both adsense and amp are Google products and are compatible.

Bros, pls how can i connect/ optimise my site with amp, have been looking forward to this, pls reply illustratively biko.

Google is continuously updating its algorithm in regard with rankings for websites in different niches. Page speed is one of the ranking factor important to user experience. Pages with a longer load time tend to have higher bounce rates and negatively affect conversions. Don't forget to master other important factors such as engaging content, social sharing, link building and your email marketing strategy to drive quality traffic,

BUT AMP is not a ranking factor....
I agree about the earnings issue, i didn't make any sales on amazon after using AMP, AMP is suitable for sites that only monetize with adsense

Very easy if you use wordpress

I got to know about this some few days ago. If you are on wordpress , in order to get set for this change , you need to start using AMP (Accelerated Mobile Page) which happens to be a project from Major Search Engines. Check my signature for more details or assistance.

AMP really affect my blog earnings and conversation so I recently remove it from my blog and also optimize it for mobile speed loading by removing some plugin and other ads.

LearnVercity uses Google AMP

Contact me via PM to activate yours on your WordPress blogs.
