WebLinkr hit all the important things: but I do want to note that for paid search, performance impacts quality score which impacts click costs.
So don’t take this as a “page speed doesn’t matter at all” conclusion. Just for SEO rankings itself.
Further, long load times are annoying and interruptive to user journeys.
Is that “SEO”? No. But SEO is a part of web outcomes so these things do matter; even if it’s just in terms of flagging it to Devs.
At EOD, rankings are only as good as their ability to drive business.
