I’m not sure its going to have much affect compared to having a website which is coded to load quicker, but I guess it might have a bit of an impact

This will impact larger sites, as well as those that have relatively high traffic already. But you’re right, coding it properly also helps – make sure pages validate. Thanks for the info.

This in theory is great, but the fact is that dynamic sites with great content or large volumes are going to be intrinsically slower to load than a small text based site. I hope this is deployed with moderation.
