Loading your website quickly

Today time is money, people hate to wait for a website to get downloaded no matter what net connection they are using. A website owner will always want his site to be best among others, so he expects all possible new techniques and flashy things on his website. So the challenge to have a faster download of your website irrespective of net connection is very competitive.

I am going to share some of my experiences to have a quick loading of your website and I hope it will help.

Use less of Graphics
With the help of CSS one can have graphical images as background images defined within an external CSS file. The beauty of an external CSS file is that it might be 2 KB sitting on the server holding layout and graphics of entire website.

No Flash files on the homepage
To display flash files on the browser one requires to plug-in and also it’s heavy on the server to be rendered on client’s browser. In case it’s necessary to have a flash file embedded try and have it at the bottom of the page.

Less number of Tables
Always divide a web page into 3 parts horizontally, Header, Body and Footer in their respective tables. This helps is in downloading the page faster as information comes in part by part to the browser and it makes the site load quickly.

Image formats
Jpg, Gif and PNG are the formats which are widely used on websites. Depending upon the nature of graphics an image format should be chosen. Like a vector file with not more than 10 colors in it should be a GIF file and not a JPG. Choosing a wrong image formats increases the file size again.
