I'm still using wpForo 1.9.9.2 version...waiting for Google release they 'Helpful Content Update' algoritm.
I think page speed of website or forum does affect SEO and reducing bounce rate so that can improve ranking on google.
Yes i think youre right about that mate 🙂 Page speed is an important factor for sureÂ
Just work to get good content in your forums and site and also VOTES for it (backlinks).
Basic SEO is ok, the SEO hype is just a myth. Tones of badly designed and slow sites, with backlinks and content that rank top.
Do not spend your time with SEO. Focus on content for USERS. Sites/forums are for Users and not for Google.
So i think im going ot do the update to my site over the next couple of days and making a back up now..... what do you think @dimalifragis, you think ill be ok?
