Many novice webmasters often like to overload the site so that the page is loaded for an unacceptably long time. Some users may sometimes not wait for the final loading of all page elements.
Instructions
Step 1
Reduce the weight of graphic files, especially on the home page.
If the site, when loading, must contact the server, where there are many images larger than a megabyte, then the page in the user's browser starts to load many times longer. This is especially true on computers with slow Internet connections. Therefore, before uploading to the site, it is recommended to either reduce or resave all graphic images in a lower quality.
Step 2
Shrink your site databases.
Of course, without knowledge of SQL, it will be difficult to navigate the database, but they do sometimes contain very long and even unnecessary queries that increase the page load timeout. If you are not very good at programming, then you can try using special plugins.
Step 3
Remove some of the content.
Every webmaster wants the main page of the site to be informative and colorful. In this matter, the main thing is to know the boundaries of reason. Therefore, if suddenly the site takes a long time to load, you should significantly reduce the number of banners, announcements and images on the web page.
Step 4
Enable the cache using the Gzip component.
When the cache is enabled, the user's browser will not re-download the same images, but will use their saved copies. This allows you to increase the website loading speed tenfold.
Step 5
Check out the design elements.
Think carefully about the design and layout of your site. It is possible that many menu items can be removed, the number of flashing banners and advertisements can be reduced, and the animation can be simplified.
