Pay Particular Attention to Your Prevailing Traffic

Check your prevailing traffic on Google Analytics and pay particular attention to what is making you get higher traffic in some areas. Once figured out, improve your entire site and apply the principle of checks and balances in your business.

For example, in Google Analytics, you have the opportunity to know which of the posts and pages on your site is/are generating higher traffic and which is generating low traffic. Go over again and update such posts in order to ensure a drastic change in traffic.

Increase Page Load Times

I’ve seen some veteran bloggers who make direct references to the number of plugins installed as what basically impacts the page load times and there are many out there who use many plugins on their sites, yet, having no issue with page load times.

Experientially, most bloggers try to reduce the sizes of the images used in their content with the aim to reduce page load times drastically, whereas, it makes it rise again and again. How? If the original size of an image is 1000 x 1000 pixels and you reduce to 200 x 200 pixels in your content, it takes such an image 5 times the normal loading speed as well as sends too many HTTP requests to open fully on the page which impacts your ranking.
