Why Page Speed Is Important to SEO With Jon Henshaw [PODCAST]

Why do you think it is important to talk about page speed now.. Jon We've reached a point where people are making such slow sites that it is ruining the web record for category of us. Unless you're on broadband. based on the fact they have said personally that it is factor, then my answer is yes..
