Pagespeed refers to the speed at which a website loads. It is an important factor in search engine optimisation, as search engines such as Google prefer fast-loading websites and can downgrade websites that load slowly in the rankings.

Pagespeed can be influenced by various factors, such as the size of images and videos, the complexity of the code, the number of HTTP requests and the speed of the server. A fast loading time can be achieved by measures such as optimising images and videos, reducing the number of HTTP requests, using caching and improving server performance.

It is important to note that fast page speed is not only important for search engine optimisation, but also for the user experience. Users are more likely to stay on a website and return if it loads quickly, while a slow load time can frustrate and deter users.

There are various tools and resources that can be used to measure and improve the pagespeed of a website, such as Google Pagespeed Insights, GTmetrix and Pingdom. These tools can help to identify problems and recommend measures to improve pagespeed.
