How To Easily Check Your Blog Load Time

Your blog load time is the amount of time it takes
your blog and its pages to load. The load time of
your blog plays an important role in its growth, if
your blog loads slowly readers won’t be happy,
search engines won’t be happy and without those
two your blog is likely not to succeed.
I personally won’t spend much time waiting for a
webpage to load, if it isn’t loading fast i’ll hit the
back button without thinking twice and i’m sure
almost every reader does the same. Slow loading
pages are extremely annoying.
Why You Need To Increase Your Blog Load
Speed

Maintain Your Readers: On fast loading webpages
readers tend to spend more time exploring the
blog hereby decreasing its bounce rate. Slow
loading pages on the other hand provides opposite
results, you’ll hardly find a reader that will exceed
10mins waiting patiently for a webpage to load,
99% of readers will head back to the search results.
In order to maintain your readers you need to have
a reasonable blog load speed.

Have Your Pages Indexed Quickly: You might
already know that Google considers the loading
speed of a website or blog, it’s part of their search
algorithm. If your webpages takes eternity to load,
it gives search engine crawlers a hard time indexing
them.
As a result of this your new pages will take longer
before it shows up on search results and if your
blog is very sluggish in loading, the pages might not
get indexed. The logic here is simple, the faster
your blog loads = the faster it’s indexed.
