Thanks for the demonstration Tony Everyone has been saying that increasing the site's speed would increase the number of pages crawled, but I haven't seen much proof of that until I saw this article.

From experience all I have seen is the more pages google downloads the lower the time spent downloading. I see the upper limit of those graphs have been blanked out, but if its similar to mine with 31,000 pages downloaded per day with an average of 343ms per page load.. in all honest thats not going to make much difference if its 600ms or 343ms but you still get those lovely up and down graphs. What I am trying to say is the more pages google downloads the better the average it seems to get. If you want to make a truly significant difference enable gzip on your pages. That way google wont mind downloading many more pages for the same amount of bandwidth ;) I don't know if this is a true correlation.

The question is, is 100 out of 100 important or is the actually loadtime important? Well from what I can say its the loadtime ;-) The score is just an indication and a guidance. It shows what you did and can do to improve the pagespeed on-site. Beside you can have a 100/100 score but if your server (due what so ever reason) is slow your pagespeed will still be slow.
