In April last year, Google has openly declared as the speed of a website is one of the determining factors in the SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages), then in the EES process, the performance of our site must be kept well monitored.
A few months ago I published a post listing a number of tools to analyze in detail each part of a web site, using these tools see how you can bring up the performance. With all the tools available on the Internet is easy to control the speed of a website and ... Alas , most of us, nine times out of ten find that their site is painfully slow.
To see if the site in question at some point is no longer accessible to the method I use is the online service Pingdom , which with its graphs and tables showing me downtime and sends me an email as soon as some of my site goes DownTime (also available on the iTunes app).
If the pages of your site takes more than 5 or 6 seconds before being displayed're definitely losing the majority of visitors.
This means that your site has some serious problems that you absolutely correct. You must find the reason why the entire site or a particular page is slow enough to make you lose visitors and indexing: some Javascript, images not optimized, flash objects and too many useless widgets can greatly complicate or slow down a site to the point of making unusable.

What can we do to combat the problem?
We begin to see what might be the main causes of these delays ....How can I check if the server where my site is UpTime 24 hours a day?
The easiest way to answer would be:- I open the browser and typing the URL if the page loads means it is about nothing if it does not load the site is down!

If you discover that your site often goes DownTime, usually you have two choices:
- You could think of an upgrade to your hosting plan (your site could be on a server decrepit or shared with hundreds of others) by switching to a VPS or a dedicated server may solve the problem.
- Change hosting. Some hosting providers do not provide quality services and then look for a hosting service that places high priority on quality and assistance!
But how long does it 'I'm the site to load a page?
The speed of loading pages in a site is as important as SEO and PageRank and some studies show that the majority of potential visitors to a site expecting no more than 6 seconds before giving up waiting to load a page in the browser.If the pages of your site takes more than 5 or 6 seconds before being displayed're definitely losing the majority of visitors.
