What is Page speed?

Page speed is how quickly your page loads and becomes usable.

Quick answer

Page speed is how quickly your page loads and becomes usable.

What it means

Page speed is how quickly your page loads and becomes usable. In normal terms, it is one small part of how Google and people understand your site.

Why it matters

Slow pages lose visitors. They can also hurt rankings when competitors offer a better experience.

What to do about it

Compress images first. Then check heavy scripts, fonts, server response and mobile layout. Fix the worst pages before polishing everything.

Bloom's take

Bloom ranks speed fixes by likely impact, so you do not spend a day shaving off tiny numbers.
