Ranking Factors Discussion

What matters to Google? Over 300 ranking factors with thousands of sub ranking factors likely depending on things like user intent or multipliers, links, citations, on page SEO, page speed, original content, authority, reviews, social signals, internal linking, site architecture, user metrics, user intent, etc.

Load times generally under 2 seconds, not only because page speed is a ranking factor but so is user metrics.
