Google has named the upcoming algorithm update as the \u201c<strong>speed update<\/strong>\u201d. Google has already been using the <a href=\"https:\/\/webmasters.googleblog.com\/2010\/04\/using-site-speed-in-web-search-ranking.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">page speed signal as ranking factor for desktop only<\/a>. So, webmasters, be ready to focus more on optimizing your page speed for mobile devices if you are still being lazy about it.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Points:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>It\u2019ll affect the pages that delivers the slowest experience to users<\/li>\n<li>Will affect only a small percentage of search queries<\/li>\n<li>Intent of search query is a very strong signal, so high quality relevant pages may still rank high even having slow page speed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So it\u2019s very clear from the above statements from Google that content quality signal weighs much more than the speed signal even with mobile devices. So when a high quality content page speed will exceed a threshold value, then its ranking will not be affected in mobile search results. It\u2019s just reminding me about the Mobilegeddon update where we had informed that <a href=\"\/content-quality-beats-mobilegeddon\/\">content quality beats mobilegeddon<\/a>. So may be this time again content quality will beat speed update.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>But why it is going to affect a small percentage of queries and intent of search is still being a strong signal?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>They may be targeted those queries with which users need fastest results for real time applicability with these update.<\/p>\n<p>Suppose a query \u201cbest Chinese restaurant in LA\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Speed update may affect this search if the user is in LA but not my search if I\u2019m just curious about it and searching from India. May be that is what when Google tells about intent.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the big catch is, if your site has a good page speed in desktop but has very slow page speed in mobile, then its ranking was not affected in earlier mobile search. But starting from July 2018, your ranking in mobile devices will be impacted. So you will have to fix it before this July.<\/p>\n<h2>Mobile First Indexing &amp; Speed Update:<\/h2>\n<p>Google has already announced earlier that it\u2019s going to implement mobile first indexing in its search algorithm and now speed update in July 2018. So is Google going to rollout mobile first indexing before this July?<\/p>\n<p>Google\u2019s webmaster trends analyst , <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JohnMu\/status\/953886741995409408\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">John Mueller answered about it in his tweet<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/microblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Speed-Update-And-Mobile-First-Indexing-Tweet-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-229\" src=\"https:\/\/www.suvaance.com\/microblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Speed-Update-And-Mobile-First-Indexing-Tweet-1.png\" alt=\"Speed Update And Mobile First Indexing Tweet\" width=\"634\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.suvaance.com\/microblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Speed-Update-And-Mobile-First-Indexing-Tweet-1.png 634w, https:\/\/www.suvaance.com\/microblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Speed-Update-And-Mobile-First-Indexing-Tweet-1-300x170.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Further reading:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/how-google-may-rank-pages-based-on-data-usage-to-load-pages\/\">How Google May Rank Pages Based On Data Usage To Load Pages<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seobythesea.com\/2014\/02\/googles-patent-site-speed-ranking-signal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google\u2019s Patent on Site Speed as a Ranking Signal<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>AMP &amp; Page Speed<\/h2>\n<p>Is there any relation between AMP and this new page speed update?
