That's true, but it's a sort of competitive advantage. Your website will not benefit from it unless you're competing with sites that have highly speed-optimized pages.
 
Yes it is significant to consider the site speed factor as it helps in giving a edge
 
Yes!
Let me explain why.

When your site becomes slow, visitors need to wait a few more seconds than usual. Some of them believe this site is down. Others will go back or close the window to find another alternative site in the search result. So this will affect your site bounce rate because your visitors leave your site before even loading.

Then google algorithm hit your site. Basically, google think if visitors don't like your site then you don't deserve the number 1 spot because your visitors choose other sites over you. That is how site speed affects your ranking.

Actually, I don't think Google really cares about anything other than visitors' needs. If you can make a user-friendly, unique, and useful site for visitors then it will rank even without backlinks.
 
Yes it does. but there are several other factors that affect rankings.
 
A slow website increases the bounce rate. Which decreases the average stay duration of a user. This leads to loss of ranking.

A slow website does effect ranking. That's what I have experienced personally.
 
Yes, page speed is also a ranking factor. You need to speed up your page. If you are using WordPress, there are many plugins available.
 
Yes, good site speed is a positive factor. Only this factor will not work alone as there are many other factors also that decide seo of a website.
 
yes, and the impact is high. I increase my site from real-time page load to core web vital and traffic increased by 50%. From 40000/ days to 60000/days.
 
It's definitely recommended. Page speed is a confirmed ranking factor for Google's search results, so don't neglect it.
