**TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES:**

- \[00:27\] Today’s Topic: _The SEO Hack You’ve Never Optimized For_
- \[00:40\] No one is focusing on site speed, which is important. Hosting deeply affects your rankings.
- \[00:55\] Google has a mobile-first index, which means fast sites will get ranked higher.
- \[01:22\] You also need to use a content delivery network.
- \[01:48\] There is a [Google Page Speed](https://developers.google.com/speed/) tool or [GT Metrix](https://gtmetrix.com/) which will help you measure speed.
- \[02:30\] Eric’s website was too slow for 3G. They used GTMetrix to discover all their tags were slowing them down.
- \[02:56\] Ping Them is another great resource.
- \[03:10\] Don’t take servers for granted.
- \[03:30\] Optimize for faster load times, which will help with your conversions.
- \[03:51\] [WP Engine](https://wpengine.com/) has been a great resource for this.
- \[04:33\] However, WP Engine has been charging exorbitant rates.
- \[05:20\] Content Distribution Networks distribute your content through servers all throughout the world (it pings your content to closer networks).
- \[06:01\] [Cloudflare](https://www.cloudflare.com/) is another option besides WP Engine.
- \[06:50\] That’s it for today!
