At the bottom of the Site Performance page in Webmaster Tools is a link to the Google's Page Speed tool, available for Firefox or Chrome. So you can add that tool into your firefox and see you page speed factors. Over here i have recommend some key factors for improving page speed.
- Reduce the amount of java script parsed during the page load
- Eliminate uncacheable landing page redirects.
- Optimize images that they are properly formatted and compressed image. Reducing the size of image files has been a good practice.
- Mention every style in CSS files.
- Your web server software can send information to web browsers to help them cache information and operate more efficiently.
- Monitor hosting environment and upgrade host when necessary.
- Utilizing good practices in your page coding and in managing your hosting setup are important components to your site's success.

- Compress images.
- Clean up your HTML code, removing inline javascript and CSS blocks that are more than 5 lines to external .js and .css files.
- Install caching for whatever platform your own - WordPress, etc.
- Get your site up and running on a CDN. It's easy, and it makes a huge difference.
- Turn on GZIP compression on your server or on the CDN.
- Set up expires headers in the far future for 'static' files, so that browsers cache stuff.
- Optimize the way your site (assuming it uses e-commerce or some kind of CMS) accesses the database. Preferably, use some form of disk caching.
- Set up code caching, as well: Most languages have a way to cache compiled versions of the scripts executed on the site. For example, in php you can use the PHP accelerator.
- Make sure the database and site are on separate servers.
- Make sure you've got a good outgoing 'pipe'.

Images, CSS and Javascript on subdomain or external website
Hi guy's, I came across webshops that put images, CSS and Javascript on different websites or subdomains. Does this boost SEO results? On our Wordpress webshop all the sourcescodes are placed after our own domainname: www.ourdomainname.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.11.3'

Blog separate from Website
One of my clients has a well established website, and a well established blog - each with its own domain. Is there any way to move the blog to his website domain without losing the SEO and links that he has built up over time?

Website Down
Hello guys, My website hasn't been reachable for couple of hours today and I can't really understand why as no links have been built, all the best practices have been followed regarding on page optimization. I also checked google webmaster tools and there are no warning messages, crawl problems or anything so I don't understand why this has happened. Now for some reason the website is up and running again.

Removing indexed website
I had a .in TLD version of my .com website floated for about 15 days, which was a duplicate copy of .com website. I did not wish to use the .in further for SEO duplication reasons and had let the .in domain expire on 26th April. But still now when I search from my website the .in version also shows up in results and even in google webmaster it shows the the website with maximum (190) number of links to my .com website. I am sure this is hurting the ranking of my .com website. How can the .in website be removed from googles indexing and search results. Given that is has expired also. thanks

Google is Showing Website as "Untitled"
My freelance designer made some changes to my website and all of a sudden my homepage was showing the title I have in Dmoz. We thought maybe the NOODP tag was not correct, so we edited that a little and now the site is showing as "Untitled". The website is http://www.chemistrystore.com/. Of course he didn't save an old copy that we can revert to. That is a practice that will end. I have no idea why the title and description that we have set for the homepage is not showing in google when it previously was. Another weird thing that I noticed is that when I do ( site:chemistrystore.com ) in Google I get the https version of the site showing with the correct title and description. When I do ( site:www.chemistrystore.com ) in Google I don't have the hompage showing up from what I can tell, but there are 4,000+ pages to the site. My guess is that if it is showing up, it is showing up as "Untitled". My question is.... How can we get Google to start displaying the proper title and description again?

Real-life examples of websites with flat-site architecture
I'm trying to gain a better understanding of the concept of flat-site architecture, especially with larger sites. I'd like to see how larger sites accomplish getting their visitors to the majority of their pages within 3 to 4 clicks. Does anyone know of any actual websites that exemplifies the practice of flat-site architecture?
