Google and Website Speed

As you know Google announced some months a go that load speed of pages is a factor for ranking results. Now my question is: Has some body experienced penalizing because of low speed of his server?If yes, how did you solve the problem?
And should all of us buy dedicated server for our websites?

choose the right host not just for Google and for customs.

Most important factors: Web metrics: Size and number of resources, load time reduces: Compressing your JavaScript with Closure Compiler.

thanks for sharing great info!

i believe speed will be one of Google factors (many factors) so i guess it wont affect that much.. since it will rely on many factors.

Yeah. it is true, if you need good ranking your site should be more fast. So better work on it to have good ranking.

get into google webmasters, submit your site and verify it. and then you can set the crawl rate you want the way google to crawl your site.. you also have to make sure you have the right hosting provider which serves you the right way.

I think loading speed will be linked with page rank

I agree. Good ranking depends on the speed too

If you can quality of website load time reduce. Check the fast speed any browser.
