How to reduce page load speed?
We all know Google included the website’s speed in their list of ranking factors in their SERP. In this we will discuss, what this means for web developers, SEO’s and what steps you can take to make your site faster. What Google considers is to have a value on the users who uses the search engine. A fast site makes for a more satisfactory experience, and linking to fast sites also makes users happier with Google.
Page Load is something you every webmaster should be concerned about.
Google offers tips on improving your load time:
* Use fewer redirects.
* Reduce the page size by using fewer, smaller, and more highly-compressed images.
* Do not use interstitial pages.
* Minimize the use of iframes on your landing page.
* Contact your webmaster or webhosting provider to discuss other ways of improving your website’s load time.
Thus, we go into a deep analysis to overcome the factor regarding Page load speed. Besides here are few tips to be concentrated.
1. Profile your web pages
Profiling a web page usually involves a tool such as Firebug to determine what components (i.e. images, CSS files, HTML documents, and JavaScript files) are being requested by the user, how long the component takes to load, and how big it is.
2. Save images in the right format to reduce their file size
3. Minify your CSS and JavaScript documents
4. Combine CSS and JavaScript files to reduce HTTP requests
If you have three CSS files for a page, at least three separate HTTP GET requests is required for that particular web page. By combining these files, HTTP request overhead can be reduced to generate a web page.
5. Use server-side compression to reduce file sizes
Compressing page objects is similar to zipping up a large file that you send through email: You (web server) zip up a large family picture (the page component) and email it to your friend (the browser) – they in turn unpack your ZIP file to see the picture.
6.Avoid inline CSS and JavaScript
If you use a lot of CSS and JavaScript in your HTML document, you won’t be taking advantage of the web browser’s caching features.
7.Monitor website performance
For a website it’s responsible for getting/sending HTTP requests/responses to the right people and serves all of your web page components. If your web server isn’t performing well, you won’t get the maximum benefit of your optimization efforts.
It’s essential that you are constantly monitoring website for performance issues.
