How to Boost Site Speed and Improve Google Ranking! #MakeMoneyBloggingSeries

 

Did you know that starting in May, Google is going to include Core Web Vitals to determine a website’s ranking? With the position Google holds over search engines, website owners and bloggers will all want to rank well!

So how do you improve your numbers? I'm so glad you asked! The new Site Speed Report on MonsterInsights is what you need! Haven't heard of MonsterInsights yet?! They are the best Google Analytics Plugin for WordPress. (Now, I wish they'd come to Blogger! hint hint, @MonsterInsights ;)

Here are some of their awesome features for you Wordpress users: 

  •  NEW Site Speed Report!!
  •  Universal Tracking
  • Google Analytics Dashboard
  • Page Level Analytics
  • Real-time Stats
  • Performance Optimizing
  • Enhanced E-commerce Tracking
  • Affiliate Link and Ads Tracking
  • Privacy Regulation Compliance

 Whew! That's a lot of stuff.

Back to the Site Speed Report, specifically...

Using the report, you can easily measure how fast your website loads for your visitors. You’ll get an overall score for your site speed on mobile and desktop.

Plus you’ll get to see important stats to improve your user experience like:

  • Server Response Time – is the time it takes for your website server to respond to your request and return data to load the website
  • First Contentful Paint – shows you the time it takes to load visual elements like fonts and images on your website
  • Time to Interactive – it’s the time your page first starts loading to when it’s no longer loading and is ready to respond to user interactions, like filling out a form
  • Total Blocking Time – measures the time it takes until your visitors can interact with your website

We all hate when we're trying to read a product review or get an amazing recipe from a page and it loads super slow, right?! MonsterInsights will also help you improve your website’s page load speed! They provides recommendations to make your webpages load within seconds.  

Let me know if you try it, how much you love it, and I'll be keeping my eyes open for all of us who use Blogger! I hope you are all having a wonderful new year!
