1. Identify what’s slowing down your website
The first step is to identify what’s slowing down your website. To do this, you can use a website speed tool like GTmetrix or Google PageSpeed Insights which will provide a detailed report that includes recommendations for how you can improve the speed of your site.
GTmetrix and Google PageSpeed Insights are two of the most widely-used tools for measuring page performance and recommendations for improving it. They both tell you how fast (or slow) your pages are loading, give insight into why they aren’t loading as fast as they could be, and provide suggestions for how to make them faster.
2. Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN)
There are many advantages of using a CDN. First, it reduces the load times for your content by caching it on servers located around the world. As you know, users are likely to be closer to these edge servers than they are to your origin server.
Secondly, using a CDN can improve site performance by delivering content from the edge not from your origin server. This means faster delivery and lower cost than if you had all this traffic coming directly back to your site in one location.
3. Optimize Images
- Use the right image format.
- Use the right image dimensions.
- Optimize images for web.
- Use the right image compression
4. Use WebP Compression
WebP is a modern image format that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. WebP losslessly compresses similar to JPEG, but lossy compression is much better than JPEG. WebP also provides faster decompression and encoding speed than JPEG-XR, PNG, and GIF.
When it comes to speed optimization, the clients are wanting two things, faster webpage loads and better search rankings.
A lot of people think that page speed is only a ranking factor for Google. However, this isn’t true as it also affects your visitors and their experience on your website.
Page speed directly affects the user experience of your website. The longer it takes for a webpage to load, the less likely users are going to stick around and browse through the rest of your site.
Not only will they be more inclined to leave your site but they’re also likely going to bounce out without completing any form fields or making a purchase because they don’t want to wait anymore than they have too in order for pages to load!
