Did you know that Google interprets the length of time a visitor spends on a website? In fact, the time spent on a website is one of the ranking factors that Google considers. When a visitor spends less time on the website or he clicks the exit button as soon as he lands on the page, then for Google this means that the website is not relevant to the search term.
On the other hand, when a visitor spends more time on the website, Google sees your website as a valuable source of information for the search term.
Thus, your goal now is to keep visitors longer on your website. You can do this through video content. This is the easiest and quickest way to retain visitor’s attention on your website.

Site speed is another ranking factor of Google. Your website should have a good page loading speed for a better user experience.
