While most local business owners are just trying to get on with doing business and trying to get ahead Google continue to roll out updates that determine where sites rank in organic search. Google have been taking interest in page load speed for a while now and depending who you are listening too will vary how much influence on your organic search results page load speed will affect you. From what I can make out of all this is that the slowest loading websites will lose any organic ranking they had, but at this stage it's not going to play a big part in determining your rankings. However, common sense will tell you that if your web pages are taking a while to load then the odds are very high that your potential web visitor is going to bail out anyway and probably end up at your opposition's website. So with that being said you should address any concerns of slow loading pages right now before it gets out of hand.
