Does Page speed matter for google ranking?

We are not sure that page does matter or not for google ranking as I am working for this keyword "flower delivery in Bangalore" from last few months and I saw some website's google first page who have low page speed but still ranking so I am really worried about my page that has also low page speed.
will my Bangalore page rank on google the first page if the speed is low and kindly suggest me more tips for the ranking best factors which really works in 2020 and one more thing that domain authority really matters in this year? as I also saw some websites with low domain authority and ranking on google's first page.

Bangalore page: https://flowerportal.in/flower-delivery/bangalore/
focus Keyword is: Flower delivery in Bangalore, send flowers to Bangalore

The question of whether page speed matters for Google ranking is an issue that has been debated for years. The answer, like many SEO questions, is complicated and not black or white.
There are a lot of factors that go into the rankings algorithm (and there's no guarantee this will change anytime soon) but what we do know is that page speed does affect users' experience which in turn affects their perception of your site.
People who care about SEO should make sure their pages load quickly because it can improve user experience and build trust with them - two things Google considers when determining rank position. So if you're looking to increase your search engine visibility, take heed: improving your website's performance may just be as easy as updating some plugins.
For example, one of the website https://pktdesk.com/ ranked for the first position within a week due to the faster loading speed as it's hosted on DigitialOcean.

I'm also looking for the page speed of my new dog website. Can you recommend any WordPress plugin?

Pagespeed is important and it will be more and more, but I have seen super slow and poorly optimized websites in first positions forever ...
authority and seniority matter much more.
I hope to be of help, a greeting.

The loading speed of your mobile site has a significant effect on the experience of your visitors, and you should not optimize the speed of your desktop site and forget about it. If your mobile site takes more than 3 seconds to load , you need to do something about it. Statistics show that 53% of mobile users abandon a site that takes too long to load. A delay of just one second in page load time can reduce conversions by up to 7% , according to a report by Fast Company.
The speed of your mobile site is becoming more and more important, especially after Google released the Speed Update in July 2018 which made accelerated mobile pages a direct ranking factor.
For example you can check this Page Speed Score is 97% "best dart board cabinets 2020"
Increase the speed of your site's mobile page
Most of the tricks to increase the loading speed of your site are covered in our SEO guide on Load Time and will improve the speed of your site on any device. Here are some other tricks that will be particularly effective in increasing the speed of your mobile page.
Prioritize content over fold
The content that the user of your site will see first should take precedence over the content that they will likely see later. Therefore, the content at the top of the page must load before the content at the bottom of the page. This way, users will not be bothered by loading time, even if the page has not fully loaded. They may not even realize that the bottom portion has not been loaded when they first land on that page.
Minimize server response time
Server response time is the time it takes your server to respond to a browser request. Google recommends that your server response time be no more than 200 milliseconds. You can minimize response time by improving your server software and configuration.
Minimize redirects
You should avoid redirects as much as possible, as they slow the loading of a page, especially for mobile users, as they often use less reliable internet connections than desktop users.
Consider accelerated mobile pages
An Accelerated Mobile Page (AMP) is an HTML page that is very lightweight and therefore loads faster than a typical HTML page. AMPs exclude some elements from a basic HTML page, such as forms. Only items that are suitable for mobile users are uploaded. Images and other media are not uploaded until they are in view. This is what makes AMPs much faster than normal HTML pages.
AMPs are cross-platform compatible and cross-browser compatible. Using AMP can reduce your mobile site's loading time by up to 85%. Some sites that already use AMP include The Guardian, Gizmodo, and The Washington Post.
Decrease the weight of your site
The weight of the page and the quality of the user's internet connection significantly reduce the loading time of a page. To reduce the weight of the page, try to have as little information as possible on it. However, you must be careful not to compromise the relevance and quality of the information on the page in an attempt to minimize the amount of information.
With lightweight pages, even a user with a poor internet connection will be able to use your mobile site without much trouble. Lightweight pages also make it easier for a user to scroll through them. Heavy pages can present the challenge of scrolling lag which can be very frustrating.
Your site must be able to detect the type of device that is being used to access it and tailor the experience to suit the device. It should also be able to detect a bad internet connection and only upload the information that is absolutely necessary.
Google's speed update only affected pages with very slow loading speeds. This means that webmasters have to improve their game when it comes to improving the speed of their mobile sites. A mobile site with slow loading times will be abandoned by Google.

Yes, Page speed matters for google ranking. If your page is loading late then the bounce rate will be high that will not give a positive signal to Google. That's why optimize your images and use light themes.
-
I strongly agree with you Paul I am checking https://vloggingmaster.com/best-vlogging-camera-under-100/ this article has very low speed that's why Google gave its position to vloggingguru
-
yes, google officially says it that page speed matter in google ranking. However, you need to learn
some tips to optimize your page speed. -
Of course its matter
let me show you a few samples. right now I'm searching a keyword on google "Best Vlogging Camera under 100"
Check Attachment for Live Proof of Top 3 Ranking Website. Image Name: Best Vlogging Camera under 100
Now I'm checking the first 3 website page speed.
You can check attachment file for "First Website, Second Website and 3rd Website"
the highest Page Speed Score is 93% "https://vloggingguru.com/best-vlogging-camera-under-100/" Now the question is why 2nd number ranking website has highest Page Speed score but still number second ranking. the reason is there has 200 ranking factors more that can help to rank a website. when you type on google "how many ranking factors does google have" you will get 200 ranking factors that google see in our website. Now we can say maybe the number second website misses something that number one ranking website did it for his website like Schema Markup or something others.
in the end, we can say "yes its matter" but we can never say it only page speed matter its 200 ranking factors also matter.
Thanks

How can a keyword placed on a page with the Moz page optimization score of 100 be ranked #51+?
Hi, Please help me figure out why this is happening and what goes wrong. This is the example of the poor ranked keyword - 'viking cooktop repair' with page optimization score of 100 (http://www.yourappliancerepairla.com/blog/viking-cooktop-repair/) Yet it's ranking is #51+. I've got many like these: Page Optimization Score for 'kitchenaid oven repair' is 100 (http://www.yourappliancerepairla.com/blog/kitchenaid-oven-repair/) yet its ranking is #51+ And so on. According to Google Search Console, I have 266 of links to my site with variety of root domains. While building backlinks, I paid attention to relevancy and DA.What else do I have to do to get those keywords ranked higher? And why don't they rank well if the pages are 100% optimized, not keywords stuffed and I have quality backlinks? What am I missing out on? Please help!

If content is at the bottom of the page but the code is at the top, does Google know that the content is at the bottom?
I'm working on creating content for top category pages for an ecommerce site. I can put them under the left hand navigation bar, and that content would be near the top in the code. I can also put the content at the bottom center, where it would look nicer but be at the bottom of the code. What's the better approach? Thanks for reading!

Can view pages of site, but Google & SEOmoz return 404
I can visit and view every page of a site (can also see source code), but Google, SEOmoz and others say anything other than home page is a 404 and Google won't index the sub-pages. I have check robots.txt and HTAccess and can't find anything wrong. Is this a DNS or server setting problem? Any ideas? Thanks, Fitz

How long does it take for Google for deindexing pages?
Hi mozzers, We just launched a mobile website(parallel) and realized that it created many duplicate content with desktop URLs. I decided to add name="robots" content="No index, No follow" /> to the entire mobile site. My only concern is that I am still seeing the mobile site indexed when it's been almost a week I added these tags. Does anyone know how long it takes google to deindex your content? Thanks

Severe Drops in Google UK rankings
Hi Guys, I'm Chris - SEO Noob & appointed website man @ www.customdesignedcable.co.uk I signed up to SEO moz at the end of February and i have slowly but surely been trying to implement the on-page optimisation suggestions with my selected keywords against the appropriate pages. Since i have done this, our pages are still ranking but no where near what they were at before. Out of 70 keywords, we've gone from at least 60+ pages on the first page down to 20+ and the number in the top three has dropped from 55 to 33. Obviously i'm no seo guru far far from it but all of the changes that have been suggested i have adhered to and the result is the exact opposite of what i was hoping for and expecting. I'm after some advice as to how to use seomoz to target my keywords to google primarily to get these page rankings back. Should i just upload backup copies of the site? How would you suggest that i move forward to try and achieve at least similar rankings to what i had previously? Any help is much appreciated as most of our enquiries come from the internet and it has almost completely dried up these last couple of months. Thanks Guys! Chris. P.S. Would redesigning the site look, layout and feel with the same content negatively affect seo? Also, as a completely separate question, how come sites with content that is a lot worse than ours rank higher for the same keywords as ours? Thanks Again

Does duplicate content on word press work against the site rank? (not page rank)
I noticed in the crawl that there seems to be some duplicate content with my word press blog. I installed a seo plugin, Yoast's wordpress seo plugin, and set it to keep from crawling the archives. This might solve the problem but my main question is can the blog drag my site down?
