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.

Does anyone know the linking of hashtags on Wix sites does it negatively or postively impact SEO. It is coming up as an error in site crawls 'Pages with 404 errors' Anyone got any experience please?
Does anyone know the linking of hashtags on Wix sites does it negatively or positively impact SEO. It is coming up as an error in site crawls 'Pages with 404 errors' Anyone got any experience please? For example at the bottom of this blog post https://www.poppyandperle.com/post/face-painting-a-global-language the hashtags are linked, but they don't go to a page, they go to search results of all other blogs using that hashtag. Seems a bit of a strange approach to me.

Can You Use More Then One Google Local Rich Snippet on a single site/ on a single page.
I am currently working on a website for a business that has multiple office locations. As I am trying to target all four locations I was wondering if it is okay to have more then one Local Rich Snippet on a single page. (For example they list all four locations and addresses within their footer and I was wondering if I could make these local rich snippets). What about having more then one on a single website. For example if a company has multiple offices located in several different cities and have set up individual contact pages for these cities, can each page have it's own Local Rich Snippet? Will Google look at these multiple "local rich snippets" as spaming or will they recognize the multiple locations and count it towards their local seo?

Linking out to authoritive sites from my ecommerce site
Good afternoon SEOmoz community. I was looking for a specific answer or advice or opinion about linking out to other sites. My Site www.tacticalbootstore.com has been undergoing a complete content rewrite. In the process we have been told and read where it can be good to link out to other authoritive sites. One of the pages we have rewritten is here. http://www.tacticalbootstore.com/belleville-boots-sizing-chart-a-97.html We have not added the graphics yet as they are being built now. This is just an informational page about sizing of a particular manufacturers boots. Once you get to the bottom of the text we have added a link to the actual manufacturers page. Is this helpful for us in the SERPS or not? Thank you for your time. Chris

Site dropped after I removed spammy KW-stuffed section from homepage
An SEO newbie. I took a sabbatical from my site for 10 months for personal reasons & I'm now coming back to it for the first time and facing a number of issues that I'd appreciate some advice on. 1) In the past week, my rankings for my main keywords have suddenly plummeted from ~#7 - #8 to about #25. The only thing I've done in that time is sign up for Google Webmaster Tools and clean up a spammy-looking keyword-stuffed section at the foot of my homepage. (It read: Red keyword | blue keyword | green keyword | yellow keyword ... 20 times). I've kept the links (to internal pages of my site) but removed keywords. I've no social presence whatsoever. No Twitter, Facebook, Digg, G+, Google Places, nothing -- but I can't imagine this is behind the sudden drop. 2) Last year my rankings start to fall in late April. But for the first two months or so the drop was only from #1 to #2 - #3. I put it down to Penguin as my backlink profile is not ideal. About 5 years ago some SEO got me a mass of sitewide blog footer links with exact-match anchors -- some of which still remain. (Some domains have 750-plus links pointing back to my site). I've a sitewide banner (2,500 pages) on a site with a related theme to mine. I've loads of links from article directory sites (from when I knew no better). * Question: In Google Webmaster Tools I have not (yet?) received an unnatural links warning. Should I still clean up the links with the Link Disavow tool?

Site being indexed by Google before it has launched
We are currently coming towards the end of a site migration, and are at the final stage of testing redirects etc. However, to our horror we've just discovered Google has started indexing the new site. Any ideas on how this could have happened? I have most recently asked for robots.txt to exclude anything with a certain parameter in URL. Is there a chance this, wrongly implemented, could have caused this?

Does 301 redirecting a site multiple times keep the value of the original site?
Hi, All! If I 301 redirect site www.abc.com to www.def.com, it should pass (almost) all linkjuice, rank, trust, etc. What happens if I then redirect site www.def.com to www.ghi.com? Does the value of the original site pass indefinitely as long as you do the redirects correctly? Or does it start to be devalued at some point? If anyone's had experience redirecting a site more than once and they've seen reportable good/bad/neutral results, that would be very helpful. Thanks in advance! -Aviva B
