I hate Facebook. Often it happens to me that it even takes longer than five seconds to load the crappy facebook SPY widget. I wait and wait and wait, only to see who pressed the like button. Sometimes I have to wait ONLY for the like button. 100.000 victims during earthquake. and then LIKE. No facebook s*cks. Facebook makes for me sites worse.

Too many widgets can slow your page, but most people are on really cheap hosting which is why the site goes so slow.

You can ask him via E-Mail, his Blog, Webmaster Forum [group closed], or even Twitter. But he'll decide.

So where does he get all these questions from? Can I send him a question by email or something?

I worked on my site for few days and my load time went from 13 seconds to 5-6 seconds. Too bad the site disappeared from rankings few days after :( its on page 27 from being 3rd for almost a year.

Remove widgets that increase my site's load time? So if I add widgets it goes down?

FOR INTERMEDIATE - ADVANCED WEBMASTERS: Matt mentions the idea of loading the widget "asynchronously," which gives you the benefits of having the widget on your page...but without slowing down your page load times. If you are interested in learning more about this technique, be sure to check out the tutorial I've published on my website. Just search for this title in Google: Install the TweetMeme Retweet Button... WITHOUT the Slow Page Loads!

SUMMARY: Yes, slow widgets can theoretically hurt your rankings, because they can negatively affect your page load times. No, this does NOT mean you should remove the widgets. Instead, consider the fact that Google's page speed signal has a very WEAK influence on your rankings. If your users enjoy the functionality provided by the widget, they will be more likely to bookmark or link to your page--signals which have a STRONG influence on rankings. The widget is 1 step back + 2 steps forward.
