At the bottom of the Site Performance page in Webmaster Tools is a link to the Google's Page Speed tool, available for Firefox or Chrome. So you can add that tool into your firefox and see you page speed factors. Over here i have recommend some key factors for improving page speed.
- Reduce the amount of java script parsed during the page load
- Eliminate uncacheable landing page redirects.
- Optimize images that they are properly formatted and compressed image. Reducing the size of image files has been a good practice.
- Mention every style in CSS files.
- Your web server software can send information to web browsers to help them cache information and operate more efficiently.
- Monitor hosting environment and upgrade host when necessary.
- Utilizing good practices in your page coding and in managing your hosting setup are important components to your site's success.

- Compress images.
- Clean up your HTML code, removing inline javascript and CSS blocks that are more than 5 lines to external .js and .css files.
- Install caching for whatever platform your own - WordPress, etc.
- Get your site up and running on a CDN. It's easy, and it makes a huge difference.
- Turn on GZIP compression on your server or on the CDN.
- Set up expires headers in the far future for 'static' files, so that browsers cache stuff.
- Optimize the way your site (assuming it uses e-commerce or some kind of CMS) accesses the database. Preferably, use some form of disk caching.
- Set up code caching, as well: Most languages have a way to cache compiled versions of the scripts executed on the site. For example, in php you can use the PHP accelerator.
- Make sure the database and site are on separate servers.
- Make sure you've got a good outgoing 'pipe'.

Any SEO benefits of adding a Glossary to our website?
Hi all, I manage a website for a software company. Many terms can be quite tricky so it would be nice to add a Glossary page. Other than that, I have 2 questions: 1. What would be the SEO benefits? 2. How would you suggest to implement this glossary so we can get as much SEO benefit as possible (for example how would we link, where would we place the glossary in the terms of the sitemap, etc.). Any advice appreciated! Katarina

Mobile website question
Hi Mozzers, A website I manage has a mobile friendly version of their main website and a /m version as well. I was wondering if anyone had any experience in the best way of handling this? Should we just get rid of the /m version and tag the mobile friendly version? Thanks!

Struggling to get my lyrics website fully indexed
Hey guys, been a longtime SEOmoz user, only just getting heavily into SEO now and this is my first query, apologies if it's simple to answer but I have been doing my research! My website is http://www.lyricstatus.com - basically it's a lyrics website. Rightly or wrongly, I'm using Google Custom Search Engine on my website for search, as well as jQuery auto-suggest - please ignore the latter for now. My problem is that when I launched the site I had a complex AJAX Browse page, so Google couldn't see static links to all my pages, thus it only indexed certain pages that did have static links. This led to my searches on my site using the Google CSE being useless as very few pages were indexed. I've since dropped the complex AJAX links and replaced it with easy static links. However, this was a few weeks ago now and still Google won't fully index my site. Try doing a search for "Justin Timberlake" (don't use the auto-suggest, just click the "Search" button) and it's clear that the site still hasn't been fully indexed! I'm really not too sure what else to do, other than wait and hope, which doesn't seem like a very proactive thing to do! My only other suspicion is that Google sees my site as more duplicate content, but surely it must be ok with indexing multiple lyrics sites since there are plenty of different ones ranking in Google. Any help or advice greatly appreciated guys!

Duplicate Content within Website - problem?
Hello everyone, I am currently working on a big site which sells thousands of widgets. However each widget has ten sub widgets (1,2,3... say) My strategy with this site is to target the long tail search so I'm creating static pages for each possibly variation. So I'll have a main product page on widgets in general, and also a page on widget1, page on widget2 etc etc. I'm anticipating that because there's so much competition for searches relating to widgets in general, I'll get most of my traffic from people being more specific and searching for widget1 or widget 7 etc. Now here's the problem - I am getting a lot of content written for this website - a few hundred words for each widget. However I can't go to the extreme of writing unique content for each sub widget - that would mean 10's of 1,000's of articles. So... what do I do with the content. Put it on the main widget page was the plan but what do I do about the sub pages. I could put it there and it would make perfect sense to a reader and be relevant to people specifically looking for widget1, say, but could there be a issue with it being viewed as duplicate content. One idea was to just put a snippet (first 100 words) on each sub page with a link back to the main widget page where the full copy would be. Not sure whether I've made myself clear at all but hopefully I have - or I can clarify. Thanks so much in advance David
