Page speed refers to how quickly a webpage loads and becomes usable for visitors. It’s not just one number, it includes several stages like how fast content appears, how quickly users can interact, and when the page fully finishes loading.
 
It is how fast your website or a page on your website loads. It matters because it's a part of user experience. People lack patience, they'll just exit if your site takes forever to load resulting in high bounce rate which will negatively affect SEO.

Page speed means how fast a webpage loads. It matters because slow sites frustrate users and increase bounce rates. Faster pages improve user experience and can help rankings on Google Search.
