Your website speed makes a lasting impression on your business, so make sure it’s fast. Understanding that you won’t get a second chance when you come to user experience is important. Low web page speed is one of the biggest frustrations that will turn people off your resource.
High-performance websites result from high return visits, low bounces, higher conversions, engagement, higher ranks in organic search, and better user experience. Slow websites will cost your business money and damage your reputation. By reducing the page loading time, you will positively impact marketing processes. You’ll attract more traffic and qualified customers who can be converted into leads. We will recommend how to improve your website’s performance and page load time.

Importance of Website Performance Improvement & Site Speed Service
Description
Page load time is an important web performance metric that shows how long it takes for a page to show up on the user’s screen.
Let’s take a look at how web page speed optimization affects the key factors of website performance.
Conversion
- Website Conversion is an essential factor in your business success, which means obtaining your visitors to do what you want them to do. For instance, they will buy your product, subscribe to newsletters campaigns, register for a webinar, or download a guide.
Usability
- Website Usability like website page speed and load time, and website responsive to user request directly impact customers’ loyalty. The better your website’s performance, the more satisfied a customer will be. A great user experience can help you build a large customer base and build a strong brand.
Visibility
- The load time of your website also influences how easily users can find your website. Website speed is one of the factors that Google takes into consideration when ranking sites. A low-performing website has a poor user experience and as a result, gains less promotion in search results, the Google search engine has started ranking also based on mobile versions of pages, even for desktop searches. The goal of this decision is to protect users from websites that have low performance and aren’t responsive to all devices.
Check, Analyze, Improve
Ways To Assess Your Site’s Speed
Description
Before starting your website speed optimization, you should first determine your current load time, and define what slows down the website. Then you should set goals for your website’s performance. According to the Google study on the average mobile speed, only a fraction of the websites is even close to their recommended mobile speed.
So, if you make your website speed acceptable, you will get a major ranking advantage over competitors.
The ways of website optimization listed in this page can be very different and sometimes the solutions to one problem can have negative effects on another aspect of your website. That’s the reason we recommend analyzing the website’s speed after each change to identify what actions deliver the best performance.
Guidelines To Speed Up The Website
Once you have tested your website’s speed, you can optimise its performance. There are many different ways to make your site work faster, and we have created a list of the most effective ones.
- Use A Content Delivery Network (Or CDN)
- Optimize Your Website’s Images
- Minimize The Number Of JavaScript And CSS Files
- Implement Gzip Compression
- Reduce The Use Of Web Fonts
- Reduce Redirects
- Move Your Site To A Better Host
- Reduce The Number Of Plugins
- Use Website Caching
- Database Optimization In CMS
- Detect 404 Errors
- Use Prefetching Techniques
Use A Content Delivery Network (Or CDN)
Description
A content delivery network (CDN) is a set of web servers distributed across various geographical locations. When you host the site on a single server, every user request is sent to the same hardware, which can cause problems. Because of this, the time needed to complete each request increases. On top of that, the load time increases when the users are physically far from their server. With CDN, requests are redirected to the closest server. As a result, content is delivered to a visitor quickly, and a website works more quickly. This is a rather costly, but quite effective way of optimising the load time.
Move Your Site To A Better Host
There are three possible types of hosting:
- Shared hosting
- Virtual Private Servers (VPS) hosting
- Dedicated Server
Shared Hosting
The most popular type of hosting that is used all around the world is shared hosting. That’s how you can get your website online quickly for a low fee. Choosing a fast web hosting provider is essential to ensure better optimisation. With shared hosting, your website shares CPU, disk space, RAM, and other resources with other websites hosted on the same server. The main reason why shared hosting is not as fast as VPSs or dedicated servers is that shared hosting is shared.
Virtual Private Servers (VPS) Hosting & Dedicated Server
Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated Servers are much faster than Shared Hosting. VPS uses multiple web servers for content distribution. You can have a VPS where you share the server with other users and have your part of the Virtual Server with your own configurations. If your website has the average traffic or you have an E-commerce site with traffic spikes in some periods, VPS will be the optimal solution for you.
The most expensive hosting options are to use a Dedicated Server, which can be your own physical machine. You pay a server rent and pay a system administrator to maintain the server.
Optimize Your Website’s Images
Description
Everyone loves eye-catching images. In the case of successful E-commerce sites, images are a vital part. A lot of photos, images, graphics on your product pages improve engagement. The negative side of image use is that they are usually large files that slow down a website.
The best way to reduce the image size without compromising quality is to compress images using tools such as ImageOptim, JPEGmini, Kraken, etc. The procedure may take some time, but it’s worth it. Another way to reduce the image size is to use the HTML responsive images <secret> and <size> attributes that adjust image size based on user display properties.
Reduce The Number Of Plugins
Description
Plugins are standard components of each website. They add specific features suggested by third parties. Unfortunately, the more plugins are installed, the more resources are needed to run them. As a result, the website works more slowly, and security issues can also appear. The number of plugins grows as time passes, while some may not be used anymore. We recommend checking out all the plug-ins you have installed and deleting unnecessary ones. First, run the performance tests on your page to determine which plugins are slowing down your website. The website speed depends not only on the number of installed plugins but also on their quality. Try to avoid plugins that load a lot of scripts and styles or generate a lot of database queries. The best solution is to keep only the necessary ones and ensure they are updated.
Minimize The Number Of JavaScript And CSS Files
Description
If your website contains lots of JavaScript and CSS files, it will lead to many requests when your website visitors try to access particular files. These requests are treated separately by the visitor’s browser and slow down the site’s work. Reducing the number of JavaScript and CSS files on your website will undoubtedly speed up your site. Try to group your JavaScript into one file and do the same for your CSS files. This will reduce the number of HTTP requests overall. There are a lot of tools to minify HTML and CSS files quickly.
Use Website Caching
Description
If there are many users accessing the page at once, the servers work slowly and need more time to deliver the web page to each user.
Caching is the process of storing the current version of your website on the hosting and presenting this version until your website is updated. This means that the web page doesn’t render repeatedly for each user.
Implement Gzip Compression
Description
Gzip compression is an effective way to compress files. It minimizes the number of HTTP requests and reduces the response time. Gzip compresses files before sending them to a browser. On the user side of the browser, the browser unzipped the files and presented the content. This method can work for all files on your website, including images, videos, and other files. You can enable GZip on your website by adding a few lines of code or using a utility called Gzip.
Database Optimization In CMS
Description
Database optimization is an effective way to increase performance. If you use a CMS that has a lot of complex plugins, the database will increase and your website will work slower. For example, the WordPress CMS stores information such as comments, blog posts, etc. that takes up a lot of data storage. Each CMS requires its specific optimization measures and also has its own specific plugins. For WordPress, for instance, you may consider WP-Optimize.
Reduce The Use Of Web Fonts
Description
Web fonts have become very popular in website designs. Unfortunately, the use of web fonts has a negative impact on the speed of page rendering. Web fonts add extra requests to external resources. The following measures will reduce the size of Web font traffic:
- Use modern formats for modern browsers.
- Include only those character sets that are used on the site;
- Choose only the needed styles
Detect 404 Errors
Description
A 404 error means that a “Page isn’t found”. This message is provided to browsers or search engines by the hosting when the accessed content of the page no longer exists. You can use error detection tools to detect and correct 404 errors. As we mentioned, it’s important to run the resource through external tools to check for errors. For example, Xenu’s Link Sleuth, Google Webmaster Tools (GWTs), and 404Redirects Plugin For WordPress.
Once you’ve detected all 404 errors, you should assess their traffic. If these dead links do not bring any visits and thus do not consume your server resource, you may leave them as is. If these pages still receive some traffic, consider setting redirects and fixing the link addresses of the internal ones.
Reduce Redirects
Description
Redirects create additional HTTP requests, which negatively impact performance. We advise keeping them as few as possible or eliminating them. First, you should run a site scan to identify all redirects on the page. Then you must check to see if they serve a necessary function and leave only the critical functions.
Use Prefetching Techniques
Description
Pre-fetching entails reading and pre-processing instructions before a user initiates them. The technique is fairly common. It works well if your website can anticipate user actions and load content or links in advance, for instance. Usually, modern browsers assume that users will prefetch by default, as they assume that users will behave in a certain way. However, UX specialists, engineers, and designers are more likely to understand the user behaviour and make ‘hints’ for browsers to do pre-fetched work.
There Are Three Main Kinds Of Prefetching:
DNS Prefetching
- The practice entails resolving domains into their IP addresses in advance.
Prerendering
- This approach means rendering an entire web page or some elements of the page in advance.
- While prefetching can be effective, it requires deep user behavior analysis to make precise predictions.
Link Prefetching
- If you are sure that a particular user will click on a particular link to navigate to a particular page, you can apply link prefetching. The method is useful to track user actions that are stable and predictable, like moving to the checkout page after one or several products were added.
