Business Benefits
Improve user experience, boost conversions, and improve search engine rankings.
Use free tools such as Google PageSpeed Insights to test site speed on desktop and mobile.
- Your website will be scored between 0 to 100. Many sites score below 50, so don’t be alarmed if your score is low. You’ll get a list of elements to review and improve.
Reduce the size of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for faster page loading.
- Compress your files with Gzip and minify resources to reduce the number of bytes that need loading on each page.
Reduce URL redirects. If you use WordPress, a Redirection plugin can help you manage redirects.
- Redirects add additional loading time to your pages.
Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to deliver content from servers located nearby your users.
- There are plenty of CDNs to choose from, including Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) or StackPath (formerly MaxCDN).
Use the .htaccess file to set the browser cache period, e.g., 1 year
- This stores static files in visitor browsers, so they don’t need to be loaded each time they access your site.
Switch to a fast web host to speed up your time to first byte (TTFB) performance.
- Check your website’s server response time monthly to make sure it’s fast enough—Google recommends a response below 200ms.
- Your server response time can be affected by multiple factors, such as traffic from users and the size of your website’s content elements.
