Hello, Can you please help me to improve my website's loading speed? Is there any website where we can check accurate load time? waiting your reply
The best thing for this is FireBug, for FireFox. Click the 'Net' tab when it's active and hit 'CTRL + F5'. You'll get an accurate load time. Optimize images, use PNG's and JPEG's where they perform the best (ie: jpegs for photographs) Enable GZIP through .htaccess on your server (this will reduce source code size by around 80%) Avoid code bloat and repetition. So much gets repeated in CSS sheets it's unreal. Reduce queries to the database If you're using a CMS, look into it's caching capabilities (there are plugins for wordpress. It's inbuilt for ModX)
Firebug is pretty good; do look into that. My first thought is your hosting provider. You pretty much get what you pay for. I've got lots of free space on my dedi and its fast, so depending on your content, traffic, usage, etc. I could host you. Wouldn't want money... but maybe we could work something out.
Lower the size and quality of image on your site. If there are a lot of Flash videos playing on your site, that will also make your site load very slowly.
Website loading speed to be increased first you put JavaScript in bottom of your website and to using Ajax then loaded you web pages. And they present small images for button, icons... So using sprites and appropriate file formats like JPG for photographs, GIF or PNG for logos & illustrations.
Minify your js and css files - basically remove all the white space to make them faster loading. And combine files, so that you're loading a minimum number of js files; likewise css files. The fewer requests the pages has to make, the faster it will load.
four steps 1. Using image sprites. 2. Merging css and .js if more than 1 3. Compression using gzip. 4. Caching!
tomsign, To give you a relevant and specific answer, I would have to see your site; check your coding; evaluate the size of your graphics; check your server response.
To increase speed make sure your images which are loading on the pages are not of big size. remove offline(broken) images, and javascripts of servers which are down..
- Make images smaller - Make sure your code is the bare necessary to get the job done - Cut down on any Flash stuff
- compress your image in each single post - are using a CMS, there're many plugins like WP-supercache or searching script compressor arround
- Make sure you optimise your website's code. - Make sure you use good Hardware. - Try a different Web Server. (Litespeed) - Optimise Mysql. - Check plugins. - Load Balancing.
If your website have many (small) pictures try to make them in to a background, in place them in a <div></div>. Your html-page will be loaded on your screen first and the backgrounds will follow later. And yes use the Cache for *.js, *.css, *.jpg, *.gif and *.png where possible but be careful with dynamic content, otherwise visitors will see the old content. If you use firefox and plug-in Firebug then install Page Speed: h*ttp://code.google.com/intl/en-EN/speed/page-speed/download.html . It tells what you can do to speed up your webpage (*=remove the *)
