With the increasing use of mobile phones for both the purposes, the need to optimize according to internet speed is a prime concern.
What did Google do?

What is in it for Google?

What is next?
Google is trying to make Chrome (most popular browser) faster and lighter, such that it compresses old files up to 26%. This new chrome is not only fast, it will drain less battery too. Aren’t we all the victims of fast-draining batteries? It is certainly a positive change that we will get to see in the near future. Google also shows different search results for slow and fast internet connections; fast connections have top sites which are more interactive while slow connections do not have these websites in the result.
What does that mean for web designers and SEOs?
Google is including this ‘connection-based loading speed’ in the ranking algorithm soon. Web designers need to keep the size of websites and apps as small as possible to increase their loading speed. SEOs have a rather difficult task now. The interactive sites will soon lose their edge for the slow internet connections. They will not even make a place on the search engine. The optimization needs to be done keeping in mind all kinds of internet users.
