Google Wants the Web to Function Like a Magazine

Google has begun an initiative to help webmasters all over the web make their sites faster, and in turn make the entire web faster for everybody. This would reflect Google Co-founder Larry Page's vision of people being about to surf the web as quickly as if they were flipping through the pages of a magazine.

Google is embarking on what one Googler says will be "a series of difficult advocacy steps" to help companies, ISPs, and webmasters contribute to making the web faster. Google has started by launching a site at pointing to a video in which he discusses page loading times and how they relate to search.

- Don't include 40 different javascript files

- Don't include huge images when you're image size is only set to something small

Getting the entire web to contribute to Google's faster-web initiative is probably impossible. I think it's a great concept, but there are simply too many people out there creating and abandoning sites, blogs, apps, etc. That said, I think there is plenty of room for Google (and all of is influence on the web) to make a huge difference.
