Google Chrome may alert users that website pages are loading slowly

Google Chrome has announced a plan to alert users to slow websites as a way to encourage publishers to improve website speed. Google has proposed a contextual menu on links that tells users, before clicking, that a site is slow, and the goal is to reward fast sites. According to Google, the purpose of the alert is to “reward” fast sites and warn users about slow sites as a way to provide value to them.

The American company does not provide more information about how this will affect websites. Google posted an example of what a slow speed badge looks like: Will a slow speed badge inserted between a user and a slow web page increase drop rates?

Will this make users abandon

Slow pages for faster pages? What does Google mean by rewarding fast web pages? In an explanation from the American company regarding its expected move, it said: “We believe that the web can do better and want to help users understand when a site may load slowly, while rewarding sites that provide fast experiences.”

This is an example of a possible form of positive feedback a site with fast loading pages might receive. The company suggested using a “context menu” on links, which sounds like a reference to links in search results on the popular search engine. This opens the door to increasing the importance of speed in ranking search results on the largest search engine in the world, but will the company prefer fast pages even if they provide lower quality content than slow pages?

Google says that they want to warn users about slow sites before they click on the link. Warning about a slow site experience before the user clicks on it may lead to users abandoning the click and choosing the faster loading site, and this will inevitably affect the ranking of search results. #Google News #Google #GoogleChrome
