  3. Introduction • Learning how to speed up your website is one of the most important things you can do as fast loading speed is necessary for website success. • However, a high performing website necessitates continuous maintenance. • This will boost your website’s ranking, conversion, and visitor traffic significantly. • Thus, it is necessary for even a web professional, a small business owner, or a blogger, to pay attention to the speed of the website • However, before improving the speed, it is extremely important to measure the website. • Before we get started on ways to improve page speed, let us first define page speed..

  4. What is Page Speed? • Page speed is a measurement of how quickly the content on your page loads. • It can be as "page load time“ i.e. the time it takes to fully display the content on a specific page and • It can also be expressed as "time to first byte“ that is how long it takes for your browser to receive the first byte of information from the webserver. • It can be measured with the help of various plugins which we will discuss in the next slide.

  5. Steps to Speed up your website • According to Google, the longer it takes for a page to load, the more likely it is that a website will be abandoned by the visitors. • Thus, it is necessary to keep the speed of your website intact. • The owner can take following steps to speed up your website, such as: • Check the loading time of your website • Select the appropriate hosting service provider • Optimize your content • Evaluate Unnecessary Plugins and themes • Make use of caching • Use a content delivery network • Optimize your database • Let us discuss the above steps in detail.

  6. 1. Check the loading time of your website • Examining the load time will provide you with information about the current state of affairs of your website. • You can assess the performance of your website using a variety of online tools, such as: • GT Matrix • Google Page Speed Insights • Pingdon • Webpage Test and so on.. • If the above tool says your website loads in three seconds or less, then you are in good condition. • However, if it takes longer time, it is worthwhile to investigate the root cause of the delay.

  7. 2. Select the appropriate hosting service provider • If your website appears to be slowing down, the cause could be shared server space or your hosting provider. • It is possible that the latter is incapable of handling your content management system (CMS) • While using low-cost shared hosting is acceptable at first, once you start receiving traffic, you must ensure that your hosting meet the scalable demands. • It is also important to consider the server's location, as it has a significant impact on the website's page load time. • The greater the distance between your server and the person requesting to view your website, the longer the response time. • Thus, it is preferable to choose a hosting provider with a data center near where the majority of your audience lives.

  8. 3. Optimize your Content • It is crucial to review your website content, which may or may not be properly optimized. • Here, optimization means images and media content. • So, you can improve the content on your website in the following ways. • Begin by compressing the images without sacrificing qualitywith the help of image optimization plugins. • Ensure that images are directly loaded onto your server as it eliminates the additional HTTP requests • Use the image size that is appropriate for your user's screen. • Start using lazy loading for your media content. This means that your images will load when a page visitor views them.

  9. 4. Evaluate Unnecessary Plugins and themes • While plugins are an excellent way to improve the functionality and add features to websites, there is such a thing as having too many plugins. • Installing them indiscriminately on your site not only increases the risk of security issues and conflicts, as well as the need for maintenance, but it can also cause your website to slow down. • Many plugins increase the page weight and HTTP requests by adding extra style sheets and JavaScript files. • They may load these assets in places where they are not required, sometimes on every page, if they are not properly coded. • So, if you want to speed up your website, you can remove them.

  10. 5. Make use of caching • Caching refers to storing parts or the entirety of your website so that it can be accessed and loaded more quickly. • It is the process of locally storing requested data, either on your server or in your web browser. • Data points that are frequently accessed are cached on your local computer. • If you use Shared Hosting or Managed WordPress Hosting and your skills are limited, consider using browser caching. • Website browsers use a cache, which reduces the number and size of HTTP requests, allowing web pages to load even faster.

  11. 6. Use a content delivery network • If you are catering to a global audience, there is another way to deal with latency and location issues, which is to use content delivery networks. • These are global networks of computers that have a copy of your website or, at the very least, its most important static files. • Using a CDN to speed up your website has several advantages, including: • Users receive data from the location that is closest to them. This shortens the distance and eliminates the possibility of lags and latency, thus increasing page loading time. • Server load can be distributed across multiple servers rather than just one. This lessens the likelihood of download speeds slowing during peak traffic periods.

  12. 7. Optimize your database • The majority of the advice is about improving the front end of your website. • It is also critical to consider what you can do on the back end to speed up your website. • This is especially true when working with a database-driven content management system (CMS) like WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal. • On a regular basis, the database must be optimized. • This entails removing temporary disc space and clearing of unnecessary data. • This makes it leaner and allows it to respond more quickly.

  13. Conclusion • Understanding how to speed up a website is a useful skill to have. • Because site performance is important to both users and search engines, it is critical to the success of your website. • Following the steps outlined in these presentation will undoubtedly improve your website's speed. • To get proper insight about our hosting service, you can visit our website www.htshosting.org or call us at 1800-123-8156
