How to improve your website page speed

The list below may not be exhaustive, but it will guide you on how to improve your website speed.

1. Optimize your Images

Optimizing images does not mean making them smaller but adjusting them to the best size using the least possible resources. Simply put, you will remove unnecessary metadata and compress the image file to the most appropriate dimension.

The essence is ensuring the image loads efficiently without impacting the time the website page takes to load. There are a lot of tools you can use to achieve this. You can use plugins and tools like GIMP.

But below are two websites that I have found highly resourceful and easy to use regarding image optimization.

2. Remove Images that do not relate to your Content

While we have seen the importance of optimizing your images, some images do not relate to your Content. You must look at your pictures and remove unnecessary images.

It will save you a lot of time and reduce the resources your Content utilizes. As long as the image does not convey any relevant meaning and is not improving your user experience, removing them is better.

3. Adopt the Use of CDN.

CDN is the acronym for Content Delivery Networks. The easiest way to think of CDNs is to see them as a group of geographically located servers that warehouses your Content. They make it easy and faster for your website content to be delivered.

Suppose you are thinking of a website you can easily access anywhere in the world. Using a CDN will make a lot of difference. A CDN will make it easier for people in Asia, Australia, Africa and other parts of the world to access your website in the United States seamlessly.
