"Speeding up websites is important — not just to site owners, but to all Internet users. Faster sites create happy users and we've seen in our internal studies that when a site responds slowly, visitors spend less time there. But faster sites don't just improve user experience; recent data shows that improving site speed also reduces operating costs. Like us, our users place a lot of value in speed — that's why we've decided to take site speed into account in our search rankings. "

Hello!

A nice blog article: http://www.cmswire.com/cms/web-engagement/web-design-the-decline-of-the-homepage-007269.php

Only to state it clearly: A Homepage is _not_ a website, it's only the starting site. Most Germans think Homepage is Website, but that's not correct. Homepage = Start page. (when you type www.websitebaker2.org e.g. what's the first site)
Homepage != Website, because website is the whole. Page: One and only one page of a site. Site: "The whole web presence".
