| 601: |  Googlebot Crawl Speed is NOT the same as Site PerformanceThere seems to be a growing confusion and even mythology around Google and site speed.

| 627: | How I Make Sense of Google's Complex Algorithm In the past, we all knew that search engines were just a bit more complicated than they appeared, but we created mental models that did a pretty good job explaining the SERPs and we let it go at that... for a long long time. I like to think of those old models as the "punch list" approach - here's all the factors we think Google measures and combines into their recipe - let's make sure we hit each one.[br][br]Then, slowly but surely, something shifted.
