10 Major Reasons For A Slow Website Speed by akeentech(m): 5:04am On Apr 06, 2018 |
If you've been staying aware of current series on site load speed; you'll realize that slow websites speed is terrible news! Truth be told, a slow site could cost you a huge number of conversions and visitors. In light of that, I'm going behind the scenes to see what's happening. We should zoom in those couple of moments, and see what's holding things up. #1. Server performance If your server's performance is poor, it will take more time to respond. Regardless of how snappy everything else is, a slow server will give you a slow website speed. Poor server performance is quite often down to your web host. A cheap web host will generally give you a shared server, which implies you're sharing space and resources to endless other sites. In the event that you have a slow website speed, this is because you're in a queue with lots of different sites. #2. Location of the Server Suppose your server is based in America. When a Nigerian visitor clicks on your site, the data needs to travel all the way across the Pacific Ocean. It needs to ask for access to the server. At that point, it needs to travel the distance back over the sea to load it on their screen. Read Also: 10 things you should do on Nairaland #3. Lots of web traffic In case you're experiencing a lot of traffic, you will in the long run have a slow website speed. At its present level, your web server can only serve a specific number of individuals at once. It's somewhat similar to lining up in a shop. The more individuals come into the shop, the slower they get served. #4. Extra large images Do you recollect the past times of dial-up internet? A large picture could take up to some minutes to load, one little piece at a time! It was anguishing. Things have really improved since broadband, but the general rule still applies. After you ping the server, it will begin carry each bit of the site to your browser screen. The server will convey content, text, and pictures. This resembles our shopkeeper bringing your stock out of the back. When you consider it like this, it's very simple. #5. Code density You may be sensing a theme here as of now. Large, dense components will slow down your site. One of the densest components of your site is the code that makes it. In case you're familiar with HTML, CSS, and Javascript, you'll realize that there is a huge amount of code behind your site. #6Text graphics A ton of sites still use images to show text. You may use a picture to display your logo, for instance. Or then again you might have an explainer message as a major part of a large image on your landing page. #7. So many file requests I've just clarified how enormous, heavy elements take longer time to load. Indeed, it's not just about their size. It's about how many there are. Each little element on your site needs a different file request to load. Each CSS file, each image, each social sharing button, and each bit of Javascript is new file request. Your server can just only handle a specific amount of requests per second. Suppose that your site uses 50 file requests for each time it loads up. #8. Lots of plugins In case you're running WordPress, you've most likely got a large group of plugins behind the scenes. All things considered, every single one of those plugins makes its own file request. Every one of them has a CSS file and some javascript to load. That implies more weight to carry, and more file requests. In case you're running a lot of plugins, it will slow things down. Ask yourself which ones are necessary absolutely. #9. Unnecessary redirects Imagine you request for directions to the train station. Then you arrive there, and find out it's shut down. It's been moved to the other side of town, and now you must stroll over the city. Takes you ages, isn't that right? A similar thing occurs with redirects. It is similar to loading a page twice. Unless you have an incredible reason behind doing it, stay away from redirects on your site. #10. An outdated Content Management System (CMS) In case you're using Drupal, WordPress, or Wix to manage your site, you'll see a regular popup. It's requesting that you install updates or new versions of the software. An update by a large means they've resolved any kinks and problems, especially with respect to speed. Install the most recent versions of all plugins and software to help load your website faster and all the more smoothly. Source: https://akeentech.com/2018/04/slow-website-speed-reasons/ 1 Like |

yeyerolling: It's a huge factor. I remember choosing a UK server over a US server for one of my sites. Why? It takes 12hour flight to get to Yankee from Nigeria but only 5 hours to get to UK. The internet is not magic, just a connection of cables all over the world, even under the ocean. Distance is certainly a big factor. |
