Why is my Website so Slow?


According to Google webmaster tool my site is on the slow side. The chart below shows my page speed on 5-16-12

Google us page speed as one of the metrics for grading websites. Your site can loose page rank if Google determine your site is to slow.

I can understand why, they want user to have the best serving experience. No one wants to site and wait for a website to load.

As small websites owners we are at disadvantage when it comes to speed, because we all use shared servers. So some of our speed problems comes from how busy the server is or how much activity is on it at a certain time.

Google give recommendations in webmaster tool to analyze and fix page speed. I am going to work on my site. I will let you know if anything changes.

What's your speed? Let me know how your site is doing with speed.
