Twitter has announced the launch of a feature called embedded Tweets. This gives bloggers the chance to paste a short piece of flat-HTML into a post and BOOM – you have a clickable tweet right there on your site. It’s going to make life a lot easier.
So, smart idea, right?
Well, maybe not!
Google announced last month that sites that load slowly will be penalised with a lower search ranking. Twitter is known for poor reliability (fail whales) and slow load times. See where I’m going here? So, by pasting code on your site which is having to wait for twitter to get moving, you may be slowing your overall load speed and thus, get penalised by Google.
