They tried that; they're still doing it. But it didn't work, and at this point I think it's naive to think that the mobile web will get much faster purely because Google ranks fast sites higher.
- CaptSpify 10y agoI'd argue that they haven't really tried it. Maybe their failure is not prioritizing it enough in the algorithm. If I look for weather, there are tons of shitty, heavy-js sites. Yet http://myfreeweather.com/ http://myfreeweather.com/ (which still has some JS, but not a ton) is nowhere listed. The first few pages of sites that google offers me are all terrible choices.
