  Google Page Speed - Death of Flash?

Nov 17 2009

Is page speed going to be a criteria for Google’s algorithm? Looks like it - Google has released a few new tools, among them the Page Speed Calculator:

This browser add-on is only available for Firefox 3.5 and higher, and with the help of Firebug, 1.4.2 and higher, plus that you have a recent version of the Java Plug-in from Sun

For now, it gives you tips and hints on how to make your pages faster and smoother for the user, I can see the death of overwhelming Flash, where the glitz and glamour can’t be justified with the lowering of the Page Rank in Google.

Will we see a more efficient web? Yes I think so.
Will we get a more structured web? Yes I think so.
Will we be less frustrated by Flash Applications we do not choose? YES!
