Raise ur hand if u don't anything abt dis sh*t

Sometimes u need a good host. Most servers are slow due to bandwidth overload. Try a good server with at least 99.9 up time.

Nice info

Nice tips
One of the reasons for fast loading site is that users might leave the site before Analytics and Alexa recorded the visits.
That's why you may have a much higher traffic on your Blogger dashboard (if you are on Blogger) than Analytics

Blogger records every hits, while Analytics wait for the site to be fully loaded before the hit is recorded.

So the faster your site, the better

Ok

Nice points

Over design too can make your website so slow..

1) it could be your CMS. Building website with CMS like WordPress and co are good, becuase it's easy and the options you have to expand the scope of your website are awesome using plugins and co.

but then you need to watch it and don't overbloat your site with plugins, deactivate and delete the ones you're not using and look for alternatives for anything you want to do with plugin.

2) Are your images optimized? this is another issue don't just throw in that image or video on your site without optimizing them for speed and cutting off excess fat.

3) Minify your files. yes you can minify your files from your HTML to your CSS and JS files.

4) Use cache and CDN services where necessary

5) like some one. rightly said what's your server bandwidth?

At the end of the day it pays to use available speed test tools to test your site speed and then implement suggested corrections

wow, have been looking for a reasonable explanations for this variation. All i have been hearing is bot but this make sense. My blog count is increasing to my taste but the analytic is showing traffic below what blogger is showing

I don't worry about these things because www.mortalpoet.com has not given me any reason to think of speeding up.

you can get a dynamic website from http://lexoft.com.ng/web-design-in-lagos/

you did not explain in details most of the reasons you outline but I think the number thing is also the theme you chose for the blog. .you have to get a good Sep responsive theme. .also mind the kind of images or pictures you attach on the site. .i believe page load time depends on other factors you have listed above. .well content is still king. .write a good article and it wil load faster when it is search on Google. .

Needed this.

What do you use to optimize images?

Needed this.

What do you use to optimize images?

If the image you want to use is 1mb, you can use a tool like Office Picture Manager and compress it to 150kb. That is optimization

SO that someone on a slow network would not be waiting for the 1mb image on your site to download whereas another site load faster because the image there has smaller kb size.

Other optimization tips for SEO include adding title, img alt

What do you use to optimize images?

First optimization for your image is for search engine which is the name of the image itself

secondly for the size of your image whenever you're saving your images, using either AI, PS or any graphic editing software there's an option for you to determine the size of your image by specifying image type and image quality ( low, medium, high very high and maximum)

Thirdly they're online tools like tinypng.com you can also use to compress your image while conserving its quality

Thirdly if you use WP you have plugins that you can use also to do the above but I don't recommend them. less plugins better

Nice one and some meaningful contributions too.
