Google: Starting in July, page speed will be a ranking factor for mobile searches
Today Google announced they will start using page speed as a mobile ranking factor, beginning in July. Google has been using page speed as a desktop ranking factor since 2010. For years, Google talked about wanting to use the same page speed signal for mobile search results. It wasn’t until June of 2016, that someone from Google officially confirmed that Google’s page speed factor would soon apply to mobile as well.
