Presenting your monthly SEO campaign results to the Board at the end of the week?
In need of some killer data visualisations to break up the excel charts and make your audience super excited about their companies search marketing campaigns?
Say Hello to your new friend Google Fusion Tables.
Google launched a new tool today that will be of interest to UX geeks – Page Speed. It is an open-source Firefox/Firebug Add-on that produces immediate suggestions on how you can supercharge your web pages to improve their speed. The tool is very similar to Yahoo’s YSlow which is also Firebug addon.
Page Load is an important element of user experience and “SEO”. We all know Big G loves fast loading websites and will rank them higher in the SERPS. This tool is definitly worth checking out to get some extra ideas on how to improve your speed (apart from better web hosting).
A few tips for faster loading websites from past experience….
I recommend downloading both Page Speed & YSlow to any serious web entrepreneur – every second counts….
