bookAnalyzing Page Load Times with Python

Page speed has become a crucial ranking factor for search engines, directly affecting both user experience and SEO performance. Slow-loading pages can lead to higher bounce rates and lower rankings, while faster sites are rewarded with better visibility and engagement. As an SEO specialist, you can use Python to simulate and analyze page load times, making it easier to identify performance issues and prioritize optimizations. By working with simulated data, you can quickly practice your analysis skills before applying them to real-world datasets.

# Hardcoded list of page load times in seconds for different pages page_load_times = [1.2, 2.5, 3.1, 0.9, 2.2, 4.0, 1.7, 2.9] # Calculate average, minimum, and maximum load times average_load_time = sum(page_load_times) / len(page_load_times) min_load_time = min(page_load_times) max_load_time = max(page_load_times) print("Average load time:", average_load_time, "seconds") print("Minimum load time:", min_load_time, "seconds") print("Maximum load time:", max_load_time, "seconds")

When you interpret these statistics, focus on how they relate to SEO best practices. The average load time gives you an overall picture of site performance, while the minimum and maximum values help identify outliers. If the average is high or you see a large gap between the fastest and slowest pages, it's a sign that some pages may be negatively impacting your site's SEO. Use these insights to recommend targeted improvements, such as optimizing images, reducing server response times, or minimizing unnecessary scripts.
