Search engines send out spiders to index pages. Spiders do consider a time it takes to load a page as one of the coding elements it will consider for SEO. One of the best ways to improve faster load times is to use CSS (cascading style sheets) by removing some of the code from the text page, the text to code ratio will improve.

Another way, is to remove the spaces between the code on the page. This will also help a page load faster.
