As a person from the modern generation page speed the most important thing for me. I do not want relevance. Whenever I visit a page how sloe or fast it opens is more important than how useful it may be. I go with page speed first and then relevance after that. I am hoping that everyone starts investing in page loading speed increment procedures.
I will always choose relevance over page speed. Whatever the speed be to load a page, if the page is not useful, people will firstly not visit it and even if they do they will leave it faster than ever. So relevance always score big on my ladder of priority. Relevant matter is always what readers want and are searching for, they do not mind waiting for a long time for the page to load if the matter is relevant to what they are looking out for.
Difficult to say, but one should aim at getting best results possible for both criteria.
As for me, I am aware of this requirement, and I put 90 to 95 % quality photos on my site, just to speed it up
Interesting topic you have there. Thank you for sharing this very helpful video about boosting page load speed. Again, thank you!
The answer to this one is obviously relevance, what else could it be. Page load speed is just a crazy fancy that many people have. What benefit would page speed have in comparison to relevance. If a site is not relevant you will not visit it and the page load speed then will not matter at all, it will not be a contender at all for discussion in such a scenario.
When it comes to a page online obviously it will be relevance that will be the number one factor. People read a page because of the relevance that it has to them and what they are searching for. If the content is not relevant they will not even bother visiting the page, the speed and the loading time taken will not matter in this regard then.
Relevence is the most important thing.
If u have a hyper-super page speed but the content of it has no relevence then…
After u have a content rich and relevant site u had to wory about the speed (now that u have more time)
