Creating a website that loads quickly is important
for you and your business. If you have a website that
loads too slowly, potential visitors and even customers
will simply give up and click away. Internet users
have a variety of Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
and some still use a dial-up connection, which is
frustrating in the first place. The last thing they
want to do is visit a website that takes too long
to load. Your website could even load slowly for those
who are using a DSL or cable connection.
If you find that your website seems to be getting
hits on your home page and nothing else, your load
time could be the problem.
Giving your website a fast load time is vital to
you, your website and your business. There are even
studies that show that users will click away from
your website if it does not load in ten seconds,
and sometimes less than that.
To make your website load faster, you need to know
the size and download speed of all of the pages
on your website.
Here Are Some More Things You Can Do To Increase
Your Load Time -
How are Your Graphics?
Graphics can take too long to load if not used
properly. If you can take away some graphics, you
will begin to increase your load time. If you take
a look at the graphics you have on your web pages,
you might realize that you have way too many that
are not necessary. Only leave the ones that you
absolutely have to.
Big to Small Graphics:
Make your necessary graphics smaller by using your
graphics editor, such as Adobe Photoshop. Making
them smaller creates a faster load time. Every little
change helps.
Check out Your HTML:
You might be surprised to find that there are html
codes in your web pages that are not necessary for
your website at all. Always try to use CSS when
designing your website. This will create a faster
loading time. Try using HTML Tidy - an html cleaning
tool that can help clean out any unnecessary html
coding that is hidden in your web pages.
How Fast is Your Web Host?
Even your web hosting company can play a part in
how fast your website loads. If you have completed
all of the changes to make your website load faster
and you find that it still loads too slowly, it
could be your web hosting company. Before going
to your web hosting company to find out what the
problem is, test your website (all of the pages)
on different computers with different Internet connections.
If it is still too slow, it could certainly be at
the fault of your web host. As your web host could
be having a small problem, email them about your
concern and give them about a week. If nothing changes
in that time period, it may be time to switch web
hosts.
Keep your website load times running fast and you
will find that more and more people will visit your
website and stay longer, which can mean a substantial
increase in sales!
