Google To Affix A “Slow” Scarlett Letter To Some iGoogle Gadgets

On its iGoogle Developer Blog today Google issued a warning to developers: Optimize your gadgets for speed, or we’re labeling them as “slow” in the directory.

Starting in late September, Google says that any widget that doesn’t meet a speed requirement, will get a nice “slow” badge attached to its directory listing. The only detail it gives about the requirement is that it will get the badge whether it’s “slow suitable to cause speed-related user dissatisfaction.”

That sounds pretty arbitrary, and that it could lead to a lot of developers complaining that their apps

aren’t really slow, but are labeled as such. But we all know how much Google loves speed, so that move isn’t all that surprising.

To invent certain your gadget doesn’t get the Scarlett Letter, check out these optimization tips from Google.
