Surfing the Internet could get boring if websites take hours to load(literally). What if your blog is one of them? It will not only affect visitors bounce rate but also SEO, eventually bringing down your site in search results.
Simple tips to improve your blogs load time and make navigation quick and easy:
1. Re-size images before you upload them
Images consume a lot of space and take more time to load. Re-size them using any image editing tool or use an online image editing tool.2. Avoid Javascripts and Flash Files reduce your websites loading time
Javascripts and Flash files will drastically increase your blogs loading time, as they need to transfer data from another location which adds to the pain. Do not fill up your template with unnecessary scripts unless required.3. Reduce External Linking
Bloggers often find it exciting to list their favorite blogs. But it doesn't matter how many websites you like, majority of your readers are interested in what you have to offer not someone else.4. Use HTML links to display ads
Of course, this too adds to your websites load time, however, they are considerably faster unlike ads that use Javascripts.
