Is website speed affect rankings

I’ve seen big gains just by trimming heavy scripts and letting a lazy-load plugin do the dirty work. Kinda feels like giving your site a good spring cleaning. If you want quick wins, I usually check image sizes first, because those things sneak up on you fast. Even swapping a bulky theme for a lighter one has saved me a ton of headaches.

website speed always matter imagine i clicked on website and im in a hurry rarely) but i want something very urgent to show to someone and website is not opening in second do i wait to tell him no
 
I’ve seen tiny tweaks make a huge difference, like compressing images or ditching heavy plugins that eat load time for breakfast. I usually run sites through a couple of speed testing tools and fix whatever shows up in the red. Even swapping to a lighter theme has saved me headaches. Small changes stack up fast, and users stick around way longer once the site feels snappy.

A slow website hurts the user experience. If your website's elements are taking a lot of time to load, that means user will leave your website which isn't good.

Yes, your website's loading speed has a huge impact on SEO. For this reason, I recommend using minimized CSS files, website speed booster plugins, a fast server, and compressing the images used on your site.
 
Website speed is a direct and confirmed ranking factor for Google, and the way it affects your site are both technical and behavioral.

For the same content level sites, a site responses quickly would definitely outrank a slow site.

And a site that loads slowly will cause a high bounce rate, which will also gives the signal to google that people are not interested in this site. It will also makes your site drops.

How to optimize the speed? There are lots of factors: 1) get a good hosting and avoid cheap servers; 2) Choose a simple theme ; 3) Optimize and compress your pictures; 4) Caching your pages,. There are lots of free plug-ins available.
 
A faster website helps reduce bounce rates and improve Core Web Vitals, which can positively influence SEO performance.
