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'.

My Website stopped being in the Google Index
Hi there, So My website is two weeks old, and I published it and it was ranking at about page 10 or 11 for a week maybe a bit longer. The last few days it dropped off the rankings, which I assumed was the google algorithm doing its thing but when I checked Google Search Console it says my domain is not in the index. 'This page is not in the index, but not because of an error. See the details below to learn why it wasn't indexed.' I click request indexing, then after a bit, it goes green saying it was successfully indexed. Then when I refresh the website it gives me the same message 'This page is not in the index, but not because of an error. See the details below to learn why it wasn't indexed.' Not sure why it says this, any ideas or help is appreciated cheers.

How Does Google Handle Websites Like Craigslist
Hi, I am just eager to know that how Google handles the websites like craigslist.org because this is a classified website and also the same user we can expect to post with same title and description in many classified websites. So, this will cause many duplicate content issues and also thin content issues. So, how does Google treat this kind of websites. Thanks in Advance

Add Small Relevant Posts to website?
Hello Everyone, I'm starting a new WordPress-based community site WP Temple. As a part of this site, i'm going to be adding a "Code Snippets" Section which will show visitors how to do very specific things on their site. These snippets, by nature, will be small articles but contain highly-relevant for search. Should this content be indexed and followed, as well as added to my XML sitemap? I appreciate the feedback!

Website Down
Hello guys, My website hasn't been reachable for couple of hours today and I can't really understand why as no links have been built, all the best practices have been followed regarding on page optimization. I also checked google webmaster tools and there are no warning messages, crawl problems or anything so I don't understand why this has happened. Now for some reason the website is up and running again.

My old site is currently hosted by a company who owns the site, my domain is registered with a different company and I have the nameservers pointed at Cloudflare.

I built the new site with the same URL structure to maintain linking benefit. thanks

Every time google caches our site it shows no website.
Our site <cite>www.skaino.co.uk/</cite> seems to be having real issues with being picked up with Google. The site has been around for a long time but no longer even ranks on google if you search for the word 'Skaino'. This is odd as its hardly a competitive keyword. If I do a site:www.skaino.co.uk then it shows all the pages proving the site has been indexed. But if I do cache:www.skaino.co.uk it shows a blank cache. I'm starting to worry that Google isn't able to crawl our site properly. If it helps to clarify we have a flash site with a HTML site running underneath for those who cant view flash. Im wandering if I've missed something glaringly obvious. Is it normal to have a blank google cache? Thanks AJ
