5 Killer Tricks To Make Your Blog Load Faster by prettyjennifer(f): 7:18pm On Jan 09, 2016 |
Google loves pages that load in no time, and not only on desktop, but on mobile too. They even provide developers guidelines to help optimize the performance of your blog. What else makes speed important? Does it happen to you to click a link and then have to sit and wait there forever for the site to load? What’s your first impulse? Do you actually sit and wait or leave in the first few seconds? NOTES: 1. The slower the page, the greater the abandonment. 2. 1 in 4 people abandon a web page that takes more than 4 seconds to load, 3. 50% of mobile users abandon a page if it doesn’t load in 10 seconds, and 3 out of 5 won’t return to that site. Knowing that one fourth of U.S. mobile web users browse only on their phones, never using a laptop, tablet or desktop computer to access the Internet, the numbers above must be carefully considered. If your blog receives attention from mobile searchers read this post on responsive blog design. [size=16pt]Is your blog too slow?[/size] To find out, run a site speed test using Pingdom tools, which will also give you information on the pages that slow down your blog so you can make the necessary optimization like reducing the file size of large images. Or even better, go to Google’s PageSpeed Insights and type in your URL to get their suggestions on how to speed up your site. If you don’t like the results you see, these tips can make your blog load faster: Optimize your images before uploading If the images on your blog are too large it will take to long for pages to load. This is probably one of the biggest reasons behind slow websites. Read Google’s guide on the best image format for each file type, and use tools like Picasa or Pixlr editor to resize your images to the corresponding size in which they will be displaying on your blog. You can also use the Online Image Optimizer to easily optimize your gifs, animated gifs, jpgs, and pngs, and convert one image type to another for free. Check the results for your blog images… Do this with all your blog images before uploading, because this way you save lots of work and time of your readers’ browsers that they need to do before they display your blog page. Less work means faster loading for your site. Store your data locally or set up a CDN Make sure all your images are saved on your servers. If you started your blog on Blogger for example, and then moved to WordPress, ask your designer to also get all images from there, so when someone views a page on your blog the images will upload from your servers and this way speed up the loading time. If you have visitors from many countries worldwide, set up your blog on a content delivery network (CDN) that way caching your images, CSS and javascript closer to your users to enable faster page loads. This means you keep your blog content in sync automatically in various locations, so when visitors come to your site the latest copy of the page is loaded from the location closest to them. For steps on how to set up and integrate a CDN check this video. Choose your hosting provider wisely Before you sign up an agreement with a company that will be hosting your site (storing your data and making it available to online users), be sure to consider what they are offering. Ideally you would want your own dedicated server, but until then check the available bandwidth of your hosting service – you will need lots of it and not shared with others, as it will decrease your blog speed. Also select a reliable provider that guarantees the servers will be up and running. Use caching plugins Caching can significantly improve your blog’s performance. If ten people visit your homepage, ten requests are made to the database to retrieve this page; if the same request is made for a thousand people, you can imagine that will really slow things down. When using caching plugins, like W3 Total Cache or Advanced lazy load, a copy of the page is generated and uploaded instead of sending requests to the servers, unless changes were made to the page in recent time. Do a regular cleanup! So let’s say this blog post inspires you to optimize and speed up your blog. (Yeey! ![]() So how do you speed up your blog? Do you have some tips to share?

prettyjennifer: You almost fooled me there with that article. what do you gain by stealing other people's content, posting it on your site as yours and then posting it here with no credit to the original writer? I think you should stick with what you were doing before - trying to sell people pen1s enlargement like you've been doing before. every single article you've posted here has been a copy of other people's work. Do you have shame at all? |
Re: 5 Killer Tricks To Make Your Blog Load Faster by prettyjennifer(f): 3:18pm On Jan 10, 2016 |
MeandSum: I wont blame you tho! |
Re: 5 Killer Tricks To Make Your Blog Load Faster by MeandSum: 3:37pm On Jan 10, 2016 |
prettyjennifer: You wouldn't blame me for what? for catching you in a lie or for calling you out? must your life always revolve around decept? trying working honestly for once. you'll feel a lot better... beside the fact you don't have to look over your shoulder for the rest of your miserable life or worry about people like me finding you out. so, what don't you blame me for? |

MeandSum: Just give a link to the original post to reinforce your claim. |
Re: 5 Killer Tricks To Make Your Blog Load Faster by MeandSum: 7:09pm On Jan 11, 2016 |
Dmayor7: You see the OP is not denying it. Beside, the burden of proof is on her. I know the original source of the article. I'll post it here if the OP says I'm lying. |
Re: 5 Killer Tricks To Make Your Blog Load Faster by Dmayor7(m): 8:09pm On Jan 11, 2016 |
MeandSum: alright.. |
Re: 5 Killer Tricks To Make Your Blog Load Faster by prettyjennifer(f): 9:12pm On Jan 11, 2016 |
MeandSum: lol |
Re: 5 Killer Tricks To Make Your Blog Load Faster by MeandSum: 2:43am On Jan 12, 2016 |
prettyjennifer: stealing content is not a funny business... so you can "lol" your sorry a$$ away. I think the best option I have is to run a circle around you and alert all the people you've been stealing articles from. Then, have them file DMCA with google for every single page on your site. next, I can contact any ad company you're using and file a complaint with them (good for you, I didn't find any adsense ad on your site). How is that "lol" working out for you now? I have a very high level of intolerance towards thieves. Makes no difference - politician or fake webmasters like you. stealing is stealing. |

MeandSum: TBH, my blog does not claim ownership of all articles on it. Our duty is to collate several types of tech news all in one place for everyone to have it at ease. Any by the way, we do give credit to original writers. No plagiarism intended. |
Re: 5 Killer Tricks To Make Your Blog Load Faster by MeandSum: 1:50pm On Jan 12, 2016 |
prettyjennifer: Are you kidding me? then, you need to read about fair use. Not a single article on your site (including all the ones you posted here) gave any credit whatever. And you claimed ownership by not stating clearly the article is not yours - it is an inferred ownership if no statement is made to indicate otherwise. Did you seek permission from the sites you copied from? A big NO would be your answer. Don't you find it ironic that you stole every single thing on your site, yet, you added a copyscape notification that says "do not copy"? |
Re: 5 Killer Tricks To Make Your Blog Load Faster by prettyjennifer(f): 2:42pm On Jan 12, 2016 |
MeandSum: Point of correction please. NOT EVERY ARTICLE. I write articles myself please. Let this matter be bygone. Meanwhile, the blog in question is not even growing.. |
Re: 5 Killer Tricks To Make Your Blog Load Faster by prettyjennifer(f): 2:43pm On Jan 12, 2016 |
MeandSum: Alright..I'm sorry. Let's bury the hatchet. If you can watch my site for the next 2 days, you'll see that I've changed okay...Just let this case be a mistake..Maybe next time you can take action against me...Thanks! |
