Two groups of Web performance factors have been added to Website Auditor - page speed (desktop) and page usability (mobile).   Page speed (desktop) is a somewhat complex value made up of nine factors: page size, server response time, too many redirects, uncompressed resources, uncompressed images, uncached resources, unminified resources, render-blocking JavaScript/CSS, above-the-fold content prioritized. Page usability (mobile), on the other hand, includes six factors: mobile friendly, viewport configured properly, too small text, too small tap targets, content outside viewport, page uses plugins.   "It's no secret page speed and mobile friendliness are important," said Aleh Barysevich, Chief Marketing Officer and Co-Founder, Link-Assistant.Com. "Page speed is not only a ranking factor, it also is a decisive aspect in determining whether visitors will stay on page or abandon it. Mobile friendliness, in its turn, has been taken very serious by Google lately and is crucial because of the growing volume of mobile traffic," continued Aleh. ![Pete Prestipino](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Pete%20Prestipino.jpeg) [Pete Prestipino](https://www.websitemagazine.com/seo/author/pete-prestipino) Digital marketing executive with proven experience in all aspects of search engine optimization (SEO), performance-based advertising, consumer-generated/social media, email marketing, lead generation, Web design, usability, and analytics. - 20-year Internet marketing veteran, currently serving as the Digital Marketing Campaign Manager at Antenna Group (formerly Chicago Digital). - Former Editor-In-Chief of Website Magazine, and a regular speaker on Web technology digital marketing strategy - Author of several books on digital marketing Including Web 360: The Fundamentals of Web Success; Affiliate 360: The Fundamentals of Performance Marketing; Domains 360: The Fundamentals of Buying & Selling Domain Names, and SEO 360: The Fundamentals of Search Engine Optimization. - - - [mailto:peter@websitemagazine.com](mailto:peter@websitemagazine.com) #### Popular Post ### [Core Principles of SEO ![Core Principles of SEO](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/seo-map_200x200-Jan-23-2023-12-19-44-5053-AM-1-1-1.gif)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/seo/core-principles-of-seo) ### [Is Microsoft's New Chat GPT Enabled Bing the Google Killer? ![Is Microsoft's New Chat GPT Enabled Bing the Google Killer?](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/pexels-photo-8294625-1.jpg)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/seo/is-microsofts-new-chat-gpt-enabled-bing-the-google-killer) ### [SEO vs SEM: Choosing a Sustainable Path to Long Term Success ![SEO vs SEM: Choosing a Sustainable Path to Long Term Success](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/black-and-white-people-bar-men.jpg)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/seo/seo-vs-sem) #### Subscribe to Our Newsletter!
