Site Speed Won’t Help You Escape a Penalty

In this case, I decided just for fun to speed up the site to some crazy levels. Before, the site was lagging. Now page response speed is down to 50 ms and Page Speed is above 90. Nothing changed) There are much stronger factors than site speed, especially when hit by penalties. I see this with both white-hat sites and doorways. Speed is good, but it’s not critical for ranking #1.
