Another (Great) FREE Website Analysis Tool

I am always on the lookout for new or better webmaster tools and it never hurts if they are also free. My newest find (maybe a bit older for some who have already found it) is woorank. It is probably one of the best and most accurate website analysis tools I have found in quite a while.

What is Your Website Worth?

I have run across hundreds of websites claiming to help determine the value of your website. The problem with most of them is that either they are broken, outdated, use the wrong data sets (in my opinion) or are just plain so far off that you know it can't be right.

Well, every once in a while you run across a new(er) service that seems to actually have their act together. The one that I recently found is called Real Website Worth and it tends to do generally do a good job and is somewhat accurate. I really like the amount of data sources and information that it all pulls into one nice report within 60 seconds. The great part about all of it is that the service is free and has no strings attached.

It's Official - Page Load Time Now Officially Matters To Google

Google officially announces that page load time does directly affect (admittedly it doesn't carry as much weight as the relevance of a page, but its does matter) rankings on their Google Webmaster Central Blog. They say this has actually been going on for a few weeks and that currently it is only affecting about 1% of US-based websites.

So, what does this mean to you? It is basically telling you that if you want to increase your chances of ranking well within Google search results, then increase your page load times.



Below are some tools provided by the search engines for download:
Free Google tool
Free Yahoo tool

But, to be honest I hate installing software (even from the major search engines) and love free online solutions, so below are two of the best:
WebPagetest
Octogate Site Timer

Also, if you need to compress some images you may want to check out the free (very robust and easy to use) online image editor Piknik which was recently bought by.......drum roll please......Google (who did you really expect).
