Page speed can be described as the “Loading time of a webpage” - how long your browser takes to respond to the webserver and loads the complete content of the webpage.

For SEO - No matter how you measure it, a faster page speed is better. Many people have found that faster pages both rank and convert better. Also, Google gives hints that a faster page will rank higher.
