As expected, Google has announced that landing page load time will become a quality score factor in Google AdWords starting mid-June.

In preparation for that launch, Google has started showing advertisers their metrics for the landing page load time for each keyword’s landing page. Here is a picture of what an okay landing page load time score would look like:

How do you see it?
