Moderator Note: Google will be launching a new website devoted to website speed issues. The following post was moved here from another location:

Webmasters looking for ways to speed up page loading times now have a host of tips and tricks to peruse as Google has launched a new website designed to emphasise the importance of speed on the web, said Richard Rabbat, a product manager at Google. Google has already spent a great deal of time over the last year or so evangelising technologies such as HTML 5 and JavaScript, pointing towards those improvements as a way of making the web faster and more enjoyable. Speed has long been a primary goal of Google's search engine, with the company often boasting - in contrast to most internet companies - that Google's goal is to get you onto and off of its domain as fast as possible. ...Google has already started to help web publishers test their sites for stragglers with a Firefox plug-in called PageSpeed, something that Yahoo! has also done with YSlow.
