Triple your traffic
To succeed online you need strong search rankings. Without them potential customers will struggle to find your website.
Search engines understand that great user experience drives more business. Recent research from Google has uncovered the dramatic effect that page load speed has on user experience and that a direct relationship exists between website speed and business results. As a result Google have declared speed as one of their top priorities. Yahoo! have also stated "Our goal is a better, faster web experience for all."
The Google model now rewards fast loading sites with higher rankings, and penalises slow loading sites with poor AdWords quality scores and higher costs. Watch the video opposite with Matt Cutts, software engineer at Google discussing the necessity for speed online and what to expect in 2010.
Google Love is what you experience when you align your website with Google. Our own in-depth research has revealed the true extent of the benefits that are achieved when companies succeed in creating Google Love.
Here are just a few of the many UKFast clients that have experienced Google Love and have subsequently seen massive business benefit since moving to the UK's fastest hosting network.
