Loading time for every website is essential. Having flashy graphics and great content is not enough. If your followers cannot view it easily they might lose interest and worse never visit your site again. Here are some tips to ensure that your site will be up as soon as they go to the page.
Optimize the images for the internet. If you have more than five images, compress the files to allow them to load faster. This technique is used by many commercial sites such as Facebook. Use GIF files as much as possible. JPEG files are also good. PNG files on the other hand should be avoided because they take up a lot of space.
Enable PHP caching. It allows your loyal readers to view your site quickly because their browser stores images and information for easier browsing. Keep your CSS files at 75KB or lower. Web designers can help you get rid of excess graphics and codes to allow faster loading time. Optimize your database for maximum performance. You may also lessen hotlinking because it can take up a lot of your site’s bandwidth. Fewer Javascripts mean fewer codes, so it is better to compress it.
The distance to your webhost is also a factor. Try to find a host which is near you because this will result in faster loading of your site. You must also consider your host’s equipment. Cheap hosts mean cheap equipment. If you get a lot of traffic, it is a good idea to invest and upgrade to a better host because it also affects your site’s loading time.
If you are not sure how to perform the following tips, there are many resources online that can help you. Ask other bloggers or site owners for tips that may help. With these suggestions, you are sure to increase your readership.
