Advanced Methods to Reduce Site Page Loading Times

By Steve Hawkins


Whether you're running a popular website or an interesting blog, if it's taking too much time to load then you're losing visitors. The net has changed quite a lot since broadband and hi-speed internet technology has become so readily available. Gone are the days when you had to wait for a long time to have a website load because the Internet speeds have increased. However, even now, there are certain factors that can slow down your website, which can prove to be highly irritating to your visitors. The following article looks into a few points that will help you improve the load time of your website's pages.

If you have a blog, then there could be a number of issues, but for now we will talk about a crapped-up database as a possible cause. When blogs are loading slowly, then you really should at least check out your database and ensure all is well. You can go into the the PHP MyAdmin section of your hosting account and see if you have any tables that are not needed so you can delete them. We understand this may be over the heads of a lot of people, and so you can outsource this very easily at an outsourcing service site. You may be able to squeeze more speed with this, but that is not guaranteed; and a new blog should not have this issue with the database. Once again, if this is all new territory, then do not go in there knowing nothing; find some information to learn from and then do it.

It doesn't make sense to repeat the same information on your website's numerous pages over and over again, does it? All you need to do is create CSS and JavaScript externally then just repeat as needed across the many pages of your website. When you're hosting your content elsewhere, you won't have to clog up the single, individual pages and their HTML code. As soon as the data is cached by your visitor, it can then be loaded elsewhere too, more quickly. This helps you increase the overall speed of your website. For example, if you're running a 100 page content site you'll save on your loading times by using this one tip.

We all know that it's important to use a robust tracking script on a website to understand where the traffic is coming from and to learn about visitor behavior. However, a mistake that many webmasters and bloggers make is they use a number of tracking scripts, when only one is more than enough. This does nothing good for your site and can bring down the loading speed of your site.

Very many people just use Google Analytics, and that is fine but there are better ones out there. So you know that it is important to your visitors to experience a site that loads fast and about no more than 3 seconds is good. This is something that is a plus, and then it is up to your content and other factors. Everything you do needs to be with your customer or prospects in mind, and that approach will serve you well. There is a lot more you can learn about this area, so do not stop with this as it is just one thing.
