How do i improve site loading speed?

My site/blog is reportedly slow loading. I know this is detrimental to good rankings from Google.

What can i do to improve the speed of loading? I also know images can cause slow loading but i do not think a maximum of two per post is too much. seo discussion forums

 

There are several things you can do. This webpage gives you 38 of them! http://wpgarage.com/tips/38-ways-to-optimize-and-speed-up-your-wordpress-blog/

 

Simple as this:

Remove spaces from css and js files.


Increases 40%+

 

optimize all images, replace jpg's for gifs if possible or put quality down to about 6% in photoshop. make sure the images are the same for all pages so they load instantly and try not to have animated gifs, banners or the like as they can slow it down a bit. although this day and age with broadband speeds as they are its not too much of a concern.

 

The biggest reasons a page takes along time to load is images or scripts.

Scripts you can minimise the code.

Images you can optimise the filesize (resolution), you can also use sprites for background images

 

Hi
I think your forum loading time is alright. It have no heavy image or no useless things in graphics at all.

 

Identify the causes from this site http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/ , then improve on it.

 

Remove your unwanted space. avoid flash. reduce image size

 

- Using Gzip.
- Optimize sql query.
- Using AJAX

 

Remove useless flash/applets etc, If you're loading all the images on the get go, you can use JQuery and body onload to load them afterwards which will speed things up ALOT.
Perhaps your host is responsible for the slowdown? is that a possibility? contact them about that and if you're unsatisfied and think its their fault, consider moving.

 

- gzip compression

- caching

- lower resolution graphics

- less scripts

 

Just delete uneless files from script

 

On of the reason of the loading page issue is the file size of the images you have used and the flash, now try to check em.
