Understanding your website speed
To understand how to improve the speed of your website, you must first understand what makes a website fast.
- How do we measure performance? There are two main ways: PageSpeed Insights and WebPageTest. Both provide valuable information about how well your site performs on different devices and networks.
- Why is web performance important? A slow-loading site can frustrate visitors and lead them to leave without completing their purchase or completing the checkout process as fast as possible. This can affect conversion rates by 10% or more (source: Google).
Minifying CSS and Javascript
Minifying CSS and Javascript is a great way to improve page performance. It removes all unnecessary characters from them, which can help reduce the number of bytes sent across the wire.
Minifying also helps with SEO, because many search engines use content-encoding information when ranking sites according to how fast they load. This means that minified code will be more likely to show up higher in search results because it’s more readable by bots than unminified code would be (and therefore easier for bots to crawl).
Finally, since JavaScript includes many dependencies on other files (like images), removing those dependencies makes your site faster at loading too!
Minifying HTML
Minification is the process of removing unnecessary characters from HTML documents. This can be done to reduce the size of your web pages, improve load time, or even save money on bandwidth costs.
Minified HTML has been shown to increase search engine rankings as well as page load times (by reducing HTTP requests).
Caching and GZip Compression
Caching is a way of storing data so it doesn’t have to be re-processed. If you’ve ever looked at your browser’s cache, then you’ve probably noticed that it’s full of all kinds of files. The act of caching involves storing the contents in memory and then retrieving them when needed.
Caching can be used for many different things:
- When loading images from a remote server (e.g., Google Images), it’s often faster if they’re already stored locally on your computer instead of downloading them from the internet every time you «hit» one; this speeds up loading times because there isn’t any extra processing involved if they’re already stored locally on your computer rather than transmitted over an unreliable network connection (e.g., Internet).
- Your web server may also choose not to send certain types or sizes of files back and forth between itself and clients because doing so would result in slower performance as well as higher costs due t o bandwidth usage expenses incurred during transfer operations over long distances between locations where large amounts o f data must be transferred across networks such as those found within businesses’ offices located near each other but separated by geographic distance rather than physical distance which means less WiFi signal strength needed making communication easier overall due t o shorter distances between devices being used simultaneously instead
Responsive Images
Responsive images are images that adapt to the device they are being viewed on. They are often used in websites to improve the user experience, but there are other uses for responsive images as well.
Responsive images can be used to show different image sizes depending on what kind of device you’re looking at them on (for example, if someone is viewing your website on their phone, you don’t want them seeing an 800×600 pixel image). Another common use case is showing different content based on how big or small a browser window is; for example, if someone visits your site from their laptop computer then they may see an image with more detail than if they were viewing it from their smartphone (which doesn’t have as good resolution).
Reduce 301 redirects
If you have a lot of URLs, it may be time to consider 301 redirects. A 301 redirect is the simplest way to tell search engines and users that there’s been a change in where you’re located. It tells Google that when someone types your old URL (e.g., www.example.com), they should be taken directly to the new address (e.g., example-new-site). In addition, if someone visits a site with an old version number and then goes to your new version, they’ll see the correct content but won’t receive any promotions or rankings boost from being redirected back over time because those links aren’t updated automatically like on Facebook or Twitter sites where every page has an updated index listing added in real time based on user activity within those pages (which we will discuss later).
Host your own Google font files
Google Fonts is a great way to add style and personality to your website, but it can be slow. If you host your own Google Fonts files locally, the speed of your site will increase. Using the Google Fonts CDN, which hosts the fonts for you, makes this easy: just add a link in the head section of your web page pointing at where you want to host these files (e.g., [link]). You can also use a CDN like Cloudflare or MaxCDN instead if that’s more convenient for you—they both provide excellent performance!
