A major factor when it comes to the search engines is that the load time of your web page loads as quickly as possible on all pages and not just your homepage. Every page should be optimized for loading quickly. Ways to speed the website are to remove extra calls to your server, reduce the size of the page, and the size of each image that is on your website.
Websites that utilize a TLS (previously SSL) certificate show the search engines not only that you care about security for the website but the privacy of your site visitors. Every website should have every page set to utilize security. Equally important is to have a firewall to protect your website from DDoS (Distributed Denial-of-Service) attacks.
