How to Speed up Your Website
In 2010 most of all search engines announced that web site load time matters. This is official article about website performance from Google. However, most of website owners think that website load time is not so important, but we think differently. When we have launched Host1Free.com (the same way we will re-launch Host1Plus.com premium web hosting). What does it need to be considered? You see, many people think that free web hosting is a bad place to host a website…I would completely disagree. You know why? Most of the time website load is slow because of website source itself.
Ok, so in this article I will give you some hints how you can optimize your website for better load. By the way, If you need professional service Host1Plus.com can offer your website ‘s full audit and optimization service that cost nothing comparing to what you will get (boosts your website’s traffic).
Firstly, if you are thinking to create your website make the design as simple as possible like for example rounded corners in the images will increase request in your CSS file, use three colors only in your design. Make sure you have your header and footer as similar as possible.
Many blogs have social bookmarks icons, those will increase the load time of your website. If you are advanced enough it is not very difficult to insert the icons of the most popular social bookmark service on every post or alternatively we found that bookmark source code from AddThis works very well (as we use it in Host1Free.com blog) with any of websites.
Make sure you have as less as possible of external external request from another websites. For example Google Analytics does external request, Twitter plugins for WordPress also will do the external request, so be very careful choosing your plugins or implementing the source codes.
Make sure you will combine all CSS and JavaScript files to one file, this way you will reduce few request from your website load time table. Also you can make the test of your website with YSlow tool from Yahoo! It will tell you exactly what could be wrong and what needs to be optimized for the actual source of your website. We will continue to discuss about web site performance in our next articles. In overall if you care about your website make sure you have the best performance for it.
