It would seem that I’ve measured the time from the HTTP request of the browser to loading the last byte of the page - and that's it. Not so fast! Google, for example, has as many as 6 metrics to evaluate the speed of the site. Under the cut, there will NOT be a translation of the Lighthouse documentation and there will be NO tips for writing SEO texts, but you will learn:
- on the chronology of changes to the Google site ranking policy
- about objective assessments of subjective perception of site load time
- how slow is the internet in 2020
- how loading time affects site traffic, and the conversion process itself
- funny picture at the end
