I am looking to construct new web pages under certain guidelines that would provide the fastest possible page speed and load time. I am also looking for the pages to be constructed in a manor where the robots can crawl the content the fastest and easiest. I am well aware of condensing the external style sheets and JS files down to one external sheet each. On the server side I am also aware of enabling keep-alive and code compression. I've heard of leveraging cache material although I am not too familiar with how this is done. I am looking for more advanced techniques that can be used between the page construction and the server side which will provide the best possible load time. I would like the standard to be much more advanced than an web designer or web marketing firm knowledge base would give them. Any help, direction, or set of best practices to reference would be very helpful and appreciated. These will not by dynamic pages and the server would be a GoDaddy dedicated server.
If they are not dynamic pages, use html instead of PHP or a dynamic language. People forgot plain simple html, but nothing beats those pages in terms of speed. A cache basically just does that. Converts PHP or dynamic pages to simple files or html pages. If you are not using a programing language at all then go straight with html, and use a fast server like litespeed or nginx. What something faster? Maybe a CDN, Im not sure how much faster it can go. Javascript and CSS will make pages slower. So dont use it unless you really need them, and I guess most people need them.
