5 easy ways to speed up your website
Having a website load fast is super important these days for
a number of reasons. User experience being the number one reason, If your user
can access your pages quicker they are more likely to go deeper into your
website. This is good for your search engine optimization as site speed and
user experience are top on the search engine land list of top factors for 2015.
Companies like Amazon and Walmart have known this and are constantly trying to
work on their site speed. So how do you get your site faster?
1. Compress Images - all your images that are on your site
or going onto your site. If you have a word press site you can install a plugin
that can take care of this such as:
Or if you don’t have a Wordpress site you can compress your
images offline and replace current images.
2. New Hosting -Your webhosting is a major source of slow
website loading , you can look for a faster host or signup for a dedicated host
or a virtual private server. One of the easiest wasy to speed up your host is a
to signup for a content delivery network like Cloudflare , you basically run
your webhosting services through their name servers. This can dramatically
speed your site and its pretty easy to do
3. Enable cookies and cache- this can help returning
visitors speed up their next visit by delivering content already on their computer
via the cookie and cache setting. Basically the webpage info is stored locally
on their computer once they visit, dramatically reducing the loading time.
4. Reduce and cleanup unnecessary code. CMS like Wordpress
often have extra code and plugins that are not needed. For example often there
are at least 2-3 templates loaded that are not being used, they need to be
deleted. Get rid of any large forms or
extra pages that don’t serve a purpose.
5. Test your site
after you make changes and compare it to your competitors use site like Pingdom
speed test found here http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/
If you can speed your site up by 5-15% you will see a
increase in click through rate , page views and unique visitors which should
translate to more sales and more leads.
