Matt Mullen from Google recently announced that page load times will be a new factor in the ranking algorithm. whats your opinion? and please tell me how can i reduce my website's home page size http://www.otssolutions.com which is 82kb currently how can i take it within 50kb?
Hello, your website loads a little bit slow, please cosider remove the flash or at least put a small swf file there, IMO.
Flash is the part of the website so its bit tough to remove it. "at least put a small swf file there, " can you explain a bit?
Flash is the main factor to make site slow. I am not getting why people use flashes in header part of the website. Google crawl websites from top and it is very difficult to crawl flashes by the search engines.You can use simple CSS based Header.This will help to get the ranking in search engines as well as your website will get some weight loss
Well you know, when I check my Temporary Internet Files folder, I have downloaded 52 files from your website, which includes a 750KB flash named header-new.swf, also you have many jpg files, that's why although you do not have many texts but your front page loads slow. So I mean, can you reduce the swf file size, and you may want to have less jpg files on your homepage. Also you have ten javascript files which includes Google analytics tracking code. Just my personal opinoin, FYI only. Cheers
As a comparison.. My homepage HTML file is 11.84 KB All other files that load with the page (images, JS etc) add about another 25 KB bringing the total initial size to around 36 KB. If all files (java scripts etc) are interacted with (drop down menus etc), a total of 108.2kB is downloaded to support the homepage. Overall performance summary: This site follows the Page Speed performance guidelines. Nice job! Score: 63.2% ------------------- The OP's site on the other hand... a total of 1.1MB is downloaded to support the homepage.

Where did matt Mullen say that ? I did see a video of matt cutts where he said it MIGHT make sense at sometime to add a SMALL boost to fast sites. also according to http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/ your site shows as total size 248083 bytes
Your site loaded quite fast for me, do you really think reducing the size of your home page is going to help? Maybe consdier: 1) How Fast your host is 2) How many times your site has to access a database I might be wrong but I believe those 2 things will make more of a difference to your sites loading time than reducing a few kb. Most people are on broadband and can load a 1mb page about a second.
Could you prevent the spiders from crawling your flash in robots.txt if you haven't got any sort of navigation in it or don't need it to be crawled? Would this make a difference?
Hi, you can cut the jpg of your homepage into more refrags, and the size will be more smaller. See more from: Mypopmkt.com
Use the YSlow or Google Page Speed. They will give suggestion what you have to do to reduce the page speed. you should combine the Java script and reduce the Image size.
