Page load speed clearly matters; while Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) is not a ranking signal, John Mueller that it does mean that your page loads before some searchers leave. He stated during the November 3, 2016 Web Master Hangout that, “As far as I know AMP is not a ranking factor; it does help your pages load a lot faster”. He also stated that, “It is essentially a matter of us (GoogleBot) trying to rank what we find on your website so that users dig in and go to the appropriate place on your website as quickly as possible. In general, anything that you can do to make it easier for us to recognize your site’s structure, which means a clean navigation and easy site links, anything in that regard, we will use as well.” We don’t see load speed as typically our first concern, although it is important. Number one and two are content relevance and quality (where links are one measurement of quality).
