How can i check the speed from section to section on my site
-
hi, i have a real problem on my site with speed www.in2town.co.uk and one of the problems is from going from section to section, so for example from home page to the travel section. i would like to know how i can time the time it takes from section to section and what tools i need.
I urgently need to sort out time delay and make my site much faster, any help would be great

thanks for that, i use http://gtmetrix.com/ but i am trying to find out about how long it takes from section to section as i have been told it is slow moving around from my site while loading the home page on my site differs during the day. sometimes it loads in three seconds and sometimes it loads in one second. i am sorting out a new larger server but need to check on the navigation of my site

Hi,
Just from looking at your site I would say if you are not using Varnish, or like program, you could probably help your load time just by leveraging caching to lower per user overhead.
But to be honest, just knowing your site speed, is not a actionable plan to reduce load times.
I personally like Firebug, with chrome addin for Pagespeed - it actually gives you reccomendations of how to reduce your site speed.
I also like this site http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/, as it gives you specifically per page what is loading, and how long it is taking so you can diagnose image loading issues script loading issues ect per page...
Even though I would disagree with Andrea, in the point that Page Load Time is Page Load time... (due to closing scripts and other items can affect page to page load times) I am not aware of anyway to test this without creating a server side network monitor such as wireshark - if possible at all.
Reason why this is not a larger concern, is fixing the items that are suggested in the above tools, will most likely fix any cross loading issues as well.
Hope this helps

You can try this free online service: http://gtmetrix.com/
If you want you can try also the free firefox plugin: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/yslow/ You can find it also for Google Chrome.
In alternative you can use PageSpeed: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/
Hope this help you!!

Well, page load time is page load time - it's going to to take (for example) 4.2 seconds to load regardless of how you are navigating. I share that because tools don't really look at it in the way you are (section to section) but you get the same information.
Webmaster tools (https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/) is a good way to go, or you can use one of many other tools like http://www.gomez.com.

what i am trying to concentrate on at the moment is the user experience to reduce my bounce rate, i want my users coming back to the magazine again and again so i need to make sure that it is the highest quality for the user including the speed from section to section

Do you use Google Webmaster? You can check page load times times there. It's not quite the same as section-to-section but gives a better idea of what search engines (I don't really understand the focus on what matters about moving section to section) experience -and users - with your site. And if you install the page speed browser add-on, you can get more data.

Why Can't Googlebot Fetch Its Own Map on Our Site?
I created a custom map using google maps creator and I embedded it on our site. However, when I ran the fetch and render through Search Console, it said it was blocked by our robots.txt file. I read in the Search Console Help section that: 'For resources blocked by robots.txt files that you don't own, reach out to the resource site owners and ask them to unblock those resources to Googlebot." I did not setup our robtos.txt file. However, I can't imagine it would be setup to block google from crawling a map. i will look into that, but before I go messing with it (since I'm not familiar with it) does google automatically block their maps from their own googlebot? Has anyone encountered this before? Here is what the robot.txt file says in Search Console: User-agent: * Allow: /maps/api/js? Allow: /maps/api/js/DirectionsService.Route Allow: /maps/api/js/DistanceMatrixService.GetDistanceMatrix Allow: /maps/api/js/ElevationService.GetElevationForLine Allow: /maps/api/js/GeocodeService.Search Allow: /maps/api/js/KmlOverlayService.GetFeature Allow: /maps/api/js/KmlOverlayService.GetOverlays Allow: /maps/api/js/LayersService.GetFeature Disallow: / Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ruben

Mobile site not ranking
Hello, I have a m.site.com version of my original site. It is about 1/10 the size, and no matter what I do-I can't get the site to rank. I've added more pages and specified canonical etc etc. Should I add as many pages as my larger site has? Are there specific places I should be submitting this version beyond the typical? I am at a loss, so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! L

How to remove a thin site penalty
Wondering if anyone could help out. A while back I made an affiliate store using wordpress and merchants products feeds. I didn't get found to adding any unique content to the site and, as was to be expected, I gained a penalty and my search traffic died. A few months back I redesigned the store, still using merchant csv but now with 98% unique content on each page. However, try as I may I still cannot get anywhere in the engines. The domain doesn't even rank for it's own name!! I have submitted reconsideration request but they have replied saying no penalty on the site. The domain is www.digitalcatwalk.co.uk. While the domain isn't massively strong I would prefer not to have to start again as I feel it is a very good domain name. Any advise would be most gratefully received. Thanks Carl

Site maps, Is there any benefit?
I have a relatively simple and small site (60 pages). All of it is crawlable and there is nothing I want non follow. So, is there any real benefit to a sitemap since Google can get to all the site anyway? Do they give the site more credence or something because it's there? I guess as an aside, are there any favorite sites that will generate a site map? Thanks!

Why does my site have a PageRank of 0?
My site (www.onemedical.com) has a PageRank of 0, and I can't figure out why. We did a major site update about a year ago, and moved the site from .md to .com about 9 months ago. We are crawled by Google and rank on the first page for many of our top keywords. We have a MozRank of 4.59. I figured this is something that would just take time to work out of the system, but nothing seems to change while we patiently wait. One more thing to note - when a user comes to the homepage (city selector) and selects their region they will then be cookied and directed to their relevant city site on subsequent visits. But even our city-specific pages (ie www.onemedical.com/sf) have pageranks of 0. My management team keeps asking me about this and I suspect there is something silly that we keep overlooking...but for the life of me, can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.
