Does website loading speed affect SEO?

That sounds like a good idea. I did not know about this one. How can you do this?
There are four things that effect the server response time website traffic, website resource usage, web server software and web hosting. No matter how optimized your web pages are for speed, if your server response time is slow your pages will display slow. According to Google you should reduce your server response time under 200ms.

I don't know how much it will affect seo but if your website is slow then you will have many people leave before they get a chance to see what you want them to see.

Loading speed can have an affect on SEO but unless your website is drastically slow or fast then it won't have much of an impact if at all. Google uses a large amount of ranking factors said to be about 200 and page load speed is a very small factor in that amount.

Unless your site is super slow then speeding it up will probably not have an impact on your rankings. ;)
