Practices to Improve the Loading Speed of your Site
An important factor that affects your ranking in the search result of a search engine is the loading speed of your website. The speed with which your website loads plays a great role in the visibility of your website. For better visibility and good ranking, you have to improve the loading speed and time of your website. The more speed your website loads the more traffic you get. You have to keep the loading speed and time at the optimum rate to get more visibility and user engagement.Important Factors to be Considered to Improve the Speed of Your Website
Make fewer HTTP Requests. An HTTP Request is sent for loading each part of your page like images, stylesheets, scripts etc. Figure out the number of requests your site currently makes and try to minify the requests by combining files and by removing unnecessary formatting, whitespace, and code. Find whether your site runs multiple CSS and JavaScript files and combine such multiple files into one.
Reduce DNS Lookups. A DNS server is responsible for translating the URL, which the user types in a search engine into IP address. Use a fast DNS server to reduce the DNS lookup time and to increase the loading speed of your site.
Enable Browser Caching. You can store some of your site’s components in the cache or temporary memory of the user’s browser. By this, you can reduce the number of requests to load the page again in that browser. This can increase the speed of your website.
Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN). The CDN helps you to cache your site on a global network of servers. So when a user requests files from your site this request will be transferred to the closest server. So the traffic to your origin server will be reduced and the user’s browser can download the files of your site from a nearby server.
Optimize CSS Delivery. Avoid including CSS in HTML code, you can include all your CSS in your external stylesheet. This helps you to reduce the size of your code.
Optimize images. The images used in your site should be optimized for your site to load fast. By adjusting the size of the images and compressing it we can optimize the images used in our site.
Optimize Mobile Loading Speed. Check the loading time of your site in mobile phones, tabs etc. Make necessary changes to improve the loading time in such devices.
