Web page weight the main cause for slow website loading speed

Hostgator Review — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 20:08:40 +0000

Your web page weight plays an important role in website loading speed and server response. Well, there is complex math and calculator that you can use to calculate the webpage weight and relevant to website loading speed. Its a fact that a heavier webpage load slower, and the lighter webpage load faster. Webpage content require bandwidth transfer, if your website homepage is size up to 1MB, and its downloaded over the 100kb/sec bandwidth connection by user… it would require 10 seconds to complete the website loading. This haven’t cound in the server process time consumed, and the php delay and mysql database delay etc. A busy server is another caused for slow website too, undeniable it will cause the website to load half way and causing endless downloading that caused server timeout issue as well.

Back to the topic, keep your web page weight down. Regardless what you do, and how much content to put online. Get your website structure and content well organised, group into categories and split into pages. Make sure each webpage loading time won’t take longer than 10 seconds, its bad for web user. Slow website will cause visitor to close the website even befor its completely downloaded. Its a fact to best keep your website loading delay below 6 seconds, else you will get some serious negative impact.

How to improve website loading speed and speed up your website? Here are few tips to share, and its the must have:

Get a very fast web hosting. Regardless shared hosting, vps or dedicated server… it got to be fast!!
Light weight homepage… don’t put everything on main page. If you are blogging, don’t put 50 blog posts on first page.
Light weight php & mysql. Optimised the scripts as well, for example the simple tag clouds query to 50 tags would slow down your website for another 3 seconds+.
Light weight image, photo, video. Compress your image files, or use thumbnail preview instead for faster website loading time.
Host your mysql database at local server, together with the php server. Database over the network is relavantly slower and tooks longer response time.
Use caching to improve website loading speed, for example fastcgi and smart cache.
Schedule maintenance task as low peak hour. Backup task and statistic generating task can be schedule to run at off-peak hour.

For a really fast web hosting, we would recommend hostgator hosting.

For even options, you can compare hostgator hosting with other top web hosting including bluehost, fatcow, hostmonster, ipage, justhost, and others.

… now after i setup the speed widget, and i got the link. So, i visited it now and what i seeing is something like this… a google map. Where i can see those that accessing the speed widget test page where i paste in the javascript a moment ago.

A closer look is that, this speed widget is something like a user voting or pooling system. Where visitor to my website can drop their vote and .. the speed reflected is actually their personal opinion. So, if you think this blog loaded very fast then you voted it 5. And if its slow.. you still can voted it 5. Hehe… this is not the real speed reflected. But is “rate my web hosting speed” thing. Ok!
