Chrome Speed Badging slow loading websites

Chrome is dominating the browser market share right now with around 65% market share world wide. This near world domination in browser market has brought many useful features and better practices among websites. Google was the one who helped increase in adoption of HTTPs in websites. Now Google is tackling on the slow loading websites by assigning them with a speed warning badge.

Google revealed that they are testing a feature for Chrome called “Speed Badging”. This feature will display badges to the user which website loads fast and which sites are slow as turtle to load.

 

 

Chrome team in a blog post wrote "In the future, Chrome may identify sites that typically load fast or slow for users with clear badging," "This may take a number of forms and we plan to experiment with different options, to determine which provides the most value to our users."

In simple words, Chrome will analyze the websites you visit and badge them according to their loading time to warn other users if the website they are visiting are slow. Google hopes that with this feature, developers will speed up their loading time.
