Well, thats depend of the content of your site, for example if you have to many images and grafics thats surely makes your site slow. There are some ways to make your site load faster. 1.Compress the images. An adecuate compression can reduce file size by 50% or even more. 2. Compress java scripts. Javascripts are often the bigger contribuitor to any site load time. 3.Java script: Revisited. Try to merge as many multiple java script files in one large java script file. 4.Always specify the dimensions of the images of your site, that allows to the browser how much space needs to be reserved for a specific image.
Some good tips for sure - also remember to make them include files (like myscript.js) instead of putting them on pages where they might be loaded every time (like with .php)
Almost same advices with others: - Try gif/jpg exchanging. Some will have smaller size on gif others on jpg. - Compress images. I find Adobe Photoshop "save for web" works like wonder. - Erase tables, change it into css. - optimize your Javascript. - Put the javascript as external file. So it will load from cache if user view other page. - compress your page using php gzip. You could of course choose another server. However, if your codes are not optimized, it won't bring any big effect on users.
- Also don't forget instead of .gif to try png? - I find irfanview (free, actually perhaps only for personal use, but you can try and pay license - cheap - later) has a better jpg/png compression routine than alot of other apps. I see, and you thought 'SEO Expert' username was good for you huh? j/k - Don't get mad, only messing.
Site speed in general is fine, and acceptable. Try moving host, to some one reputable who doesn't oversell.
Hi, Thanks a lot for all the replies. We are making some decisions on what we will be doing. maybe move host. But to be honest i think it may just be our network that is slow as other users say the site runs 'ok'.
