Google Shares Insights on Accelerating Web Sites
- buro9 16y agoOne of things I'm wondering about how Google measure speed is where they measure from. One of my sites is focused around London, UK, and to ensure that those users get the best possible responsiveness I moved from Linode New Jersey to Linode London. In doing so my site performance according to Google Webmaster Tools dropped, but in reality the performance of the site by the target market increased significantly. Is Google not using the geographic preference in GWT as a basis to determine where to measure from? The site in question is http://www.lfgss.com/ http://www.lfgss.com/ And whilst I know there is still app-shipped YUI and jQuery on there (shortly will be removed and hand-crafted .ja will replace it), I still wonder whether I'm being penalised for not hosting close to a Google crawler datacentre.
