Faster hosting for Wordpress to get better SEO results?

[lkovnih226]

I'm wanting to figure out how loading speed is important in SEO, it's a good idea to find a fast hosting to improve your SEO results if you are hosting your sites on slow hosting? What do you guys think about this?

Fast loading website is very important in terms of SEO. We all have a hosting that can fulfill this requirements. If your site loads very slowly than user jump from your site and leave it without browsing it. Google also love sites that are loading fastly. So, definitely we all have faster web hosting.

Load speed is one of the ranking factors that the search engines use in their ranking algorithm, but it's just one of very many. Page load speed matters, but not as much as others would lead you to believe.

Unless your website is drastically slow then speed isn't going to have a huge impact on your rankings. If you site is very slow, then speeding it up will help it out. However, shaving off a ten of a second or 2 isn't going to make any kind of big impact.

The search engines use it as one of their ranking factors because if someone goes to a site in their results and it takes too long to load, then many people will just hit the back button on their browser and not wait for a site to load. People are getting more and more impatient these days, so if a site is just super slow, then they won't want to stick around to see what loads. The SE's want to try to give the searchers a site they will go to and look at so that reflects on the quality of their rankings.

All said, if your site is very slow, then speeding it up will help it's rankings. If it's already loading at a decent time (2-4 secs) then speeding it up a little isn't going to launch your site a few pages up in the rankings.

Load speed is important but not that important --unless it loads so slow that potential customers leave your site. They've got various WP plugins like WP Cache (think that's the name).

Before you think you need to look for different hosting, evaluate your site using Pingdom Page Speed and GTMetrix.

Most of the time loading issues are the result of a poorly optimised website, not a problem with hosting.

This is so true. Look at optimising your website with a caching plugin, and look at the Pingdom and GTMetrix results. It's all too easy to setup WP Super Cache (and many others) to speed up your website.
