One of the most critical, yet often underestimated, factors is speed: an essential ranking factor that directly impacts user retention and conversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this deep dive, we explore how performance has evolved from a simple technical parameter to the backbone of the modern user experience and AI-driven indexing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Look into the Past: How We Got Here<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The concept of <strong>Web Performance Optimization (WPO)<\/strong> was born in 2004 with Steve Souders, who already intuited that speed would be a key differentiator. The global spread of smartphones confirmed this vision: today, web browsing is almost exclusively mobile, making performance vital to avoid losing users &#8220;on the go.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2018, Google officially declared speed a ranking factor for mobile searches, introducing <strong>Mobile-First indexing<\/strong>. Since then, it has been impossible to ignore a site&#8217;s &#8220;weight&#8221; or the heaviness of its images without suffering a hit in search rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Google&#8217;s Mission: Providing the Highest Quality Search and Browsing Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google&#8217;s mission as a search engine has always been very clear: to provide users with the highest quality search and browsing experience available. This means doing everything necessary to ensure the user does not abandon the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why Does a User Abandon a Website?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The general answer is simple: the browsing experience is negative. However, the reasons for a negative experience are manifold:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Outdated site design.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Content that is difficult to read or boring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unclear navigation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Autoplay videos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Website loading too slowly.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Excessive advertisements, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A user abandoning a site has negative consequences across many aspects. Primarily, it is a missed contact and, therefore, potentially a lost sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the search engine notices an unusual number of users leaving a website after just a few seconds, it may deduce that the user experience on that site is not optimal, and its ranking could be negatively affected. To assist website managers, Google provides several tools \u2014 Google Chrome, Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Google PageSpeed, Measure, etc. \u2014 to measure user behavior and site performance, identify core issues, and implement improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Speed as a Ranking Factor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The link between speed and positioning has deep roots. Everything changed when mobile browsing surpassed desktop: at that moment, speed transitioned from a &#8220;technical option&#8221; to a ranking requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The turning point came in 2018 with Google\u2019s Mobile-First indexing announcement. From then on, the focus shifted definitively: Google no longer evaluates your site based on the desktop version, but exclusively on how it performs on a smartphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized alignnone size-full wp-image-4026\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.antartika.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Mobile-vs-desktop-1024x439.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12539\" style=\"width:1200px;height:auto\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sub>(Source: <\/sub><a href=\"https:\/\/gs.statcounter.com\/platform-market-share\/desktop-mobile-tablet\/worldwide\/#monthly-200901-202603\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><sub>https:\/\/gs.statcounter.com\/platform-market-share\/desktop-mobile-tablet\/worldwide\/#monthly-200901-202603<\/sub><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, Google has become even stricter. It doesn\u2019t just reward fast sites; it analyzes the entire <strong>User Experience (UX)<\/strong> through parameters that were only in their infancy in 2018. To continue climbing the SERPs, we must address the issues that still plague many sites today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Excessive &#8220;Weight&#8221;:<\/strong> In a world running on 5G, a slow site is perceived as a malfunction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Unoptimized Media:<\/strong> Heavy images and videos that not only slow down loading but also needlessly consume users&#8217; data plans.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Accessibility:<\/strong> Inadequate font sizes or elements that shift during loading (the so-called <strong>Layout Shift<\/strong>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Speed \u200b\u200bMatters: The Impact on People, Business, and the Environment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google does not act on a whim but to satisfy its increasingly demanding users. Here are the pillars guiding Google\u2019s evaluation and the data confirming how performance impacts real business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Performance Impacts Retainment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>High-performance sites engage and retain users better than low-performing ones.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Historical data, still pillars of WPO today, speak clearly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pinterest:<\/strong> By reducing perceived wait times by 40%, it increased search engine traffic and sign-ups by <strong>15%<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>COOK:<\/strong> By reducing average page load time by 850ms, it increased conversions by <strong>7%<\/strong> and reduced bounce rate by the same amount.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>BBC:<\/strong> Found it lost <strong>10%<\/strong> of total users for every additional second the page took to load.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Performance Turns Visitors into Customers (Conversions)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Fast sites increase conversion rates and revenue.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">User loyalty is the only way to grow turnover:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mobify:<\/strong> Achieved a <strong>1.11%<\/strong> increase in conversions for every 100ms gained in homepage load speed, resulting in an annual revenue increase of nearly $380,000.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>AutoAnything:<\/strong> By halving page load time, it saw sales jump by <strong>12-13%<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Furniture Village:<\/strong> Developed a plan to address speed issues, leading to a 20% reduction in load time and a <strong>10%<\/strong> increase in conversion rate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Performance is Pure User Experience (UX)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A study by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=https:\/\/www.ericsson.com\/en\/press-releases\/2016\/2\/streaming-delays-cause-stress-to-smartphone-users-ericsson-mobility-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strong>Ericsson<\/strong><\/a> revealed a surprising fact: the stress caused by mobile loading delays is similar to that of watching a <strong>horror movie<\/strong> or solving a complex mathematical problem, and it is more stressful than waiting in a checkout line at a store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Real UX begins the moment the user interacts with the content. If a fast connection makes this interval imperceptible, the goal is absolute immediacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-4029\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"231\" src=\"https:\/\/www.antartika.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/img-03-e1601992456158.png\" alt=\"comparison page loading speed\" class=\"wp-image-4029\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.antartika.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/img-03-e1601992456158.png 700w, https:\/\/www.antartika.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/img-03-e1601992456158-300x99.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sub>A comparison between page loading on a very slow connection (top) and a faster connection (bottom).<\/sub><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Performance is About People and Sustainability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, speed is also a matter of inclusion. Many users access the web via mobile networks that are not always stable or have limited data plans. As highlighted by experts like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/calibreapp.com\/blog\/beyond-the-bubble\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ben Schwarz of Calibre<\/a><\/strong>, the growing weight of websites and apps imposes real costs on people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Optimizing performance is no longer just a technical choice, but an act of <strong>digital responsibility<\/strong>: it means making the internet accessible, affordable, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.antartika.it\/en\/web-development\/website-carbon-footprint-make-websites-sustainable\/\"><strong>less polluting for everyone<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>\n:root{\n

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Core Web Vitals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For years, we measured speed only in terms of total loading seconds. However, Google evolved its evaluation method by introducing <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antartika.it\/en\/seo\/guide-google-page-experience-core-web-vitals\/\">Core Web Vitals<\/a><\/strong>. These parameters don&#8217;t just measure how fast the server is, but how the user perceives the speed and stability of the site during navigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.antartika.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/CoreWebVitals-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12546\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simply put, Core Web Vitals help determine if a site is &#8220;usable&#8221; or if it causes frustration. Here are the three fundamental pillars Google evaluates today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. LCP (Largest Contentful Paint): Visual Speed <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LCP measures how long it takes for the most important element on the page (like the hero image or blog title) to become visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong> It tells the user the page is actually useful and ready to be read. A good score should be under <strong>2.5 seconds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift): Visual Stability<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you ever tried to click a link and, suddenly, the page shifts, making you click the wrong thing? CLS measures exactly this: how stable the page elements are during loading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong> It ensures users don&#8217;t take unintended actions due to a &#8220;jumping&#8221; layout, drastically improving interaction quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. INP (Interaction to Next Paint): Total Responsiveness<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">INP is the most recent evolution in performance monitoring, measuring the time between a user action (a click or a tap) and the site&#8217;s visual response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong> It measures &#8220;fluidity.&#8221; A site might load fast, but if the buttons feel &#8220;sluggish&#8221; afterward, the user experience will be negative, and Google will penalize the ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Impact of Technical Parameters on Artificial Intelligence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Optimizing these parameters is no longer just a matter of &#8220;scores&#8221;; it directly affects the ability of AI-based search engines to analyze your content. Systems that generate direct answers (like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.antartika.it\/en\/web-marketing\/ai-mode-google-is-here-what-now\/\"><strong>AI Overviews<\/strong><\/a>) need to &#8220;read&#8221; and render pages in fractions of a second. If a site is slow, bots might fail to crawl all the necessary information in the time allotted to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A site that respects Core Web Vitals is technically flawless and &#8220;light,&#8221; drastically increasing the chances that your information will be extracted and shown as a priority answer in new search interfaces.

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Image optimization is no longer limited to simple file compression. Technical evolution requires the adoption of advanced solutions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Image Formats:<\/strong> The current standard is <strong>AVIF<\/strong>, which offers superior quality compared to WebP with a significantly reduced file size.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Network Protocols:<\/strong> Support for <strong>HTTP\/3<\/strong> is essential to reduce latency, especially on unstable mobile networks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Digital Sustainability:<\/strong> A fast site transfers less data, reducing the environmental impact (CO2) of servers \u2014 an increasingly important value for modern brands.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the importance of speed being known for years, too many sites still sacrifice performance for aesthetics. Investing in WPO means satisfying both users and Google. A performance boost is not just a technical improvement, but a direct push toward business success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antartika.it\/en\/contacts\/\"><strong>Contact us to optimize your site&#8217;s performance.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The performance of your website is the key element for the success of your business: that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s essential to invest in improving your website&#8217;s speed. <span class=\"excerpt-link\"><a class=\"ms-1 understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.antartika.it\/en\/seo\/importance-fast-website\/\">Read more &raquo;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> from The Importance of Having a Fast Website: from UX, Core Web Vitals to AI<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7440,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"yes","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[192],"tags":[277,278,279],"class_list":["post-9142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-seo","tag-mobilefirstranking-en","tag-pagespeed-en","tag-webperformance-en"],"acf":[],"modified_by":"AntaUser1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.antartika.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.antartika.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.antartika.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.antartika.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.antartika.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9142"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.antartika.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9142\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.antartika.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7440"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.antartika.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.antartika.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.antartika.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
