    The speed is ok. 79/100 on page speed too, which is acceptable.

    i always like fast loading sites and design my sites accordingly.
    i heard that until recently google also takes sites speed into consideration for better search rankings.

    If you are using wordpress, then try installing "WP cache" plugin.

    So far they have said that it is only on websites accessed through Google.com and that it will only affect a smll percentage of websites. However they have also said site speed is a factor in "useability" so it would seem that could become a strong factor in the future.
