In this article, I am not talking about what codes you should use or what words to choose when you want to optimise the content of your site or the images. No, in this article I am not talking about the optimisation which is made for the search engines, but the one which is made for the people. You should optimise the site to load faster, because nothing is more annoying than to enter a good site, which you know is good, and the site to load for minutes.
A study revealed that a regular use waits no more than 10 seconds for a site to load. In my opinion, 10 seconds is a lot. I wait a maximum amount of 5 seconds. Luckily, I use Firefox and I can let a site to load and work on another sites, because as you know, you can work with many sites at the same time while using Mozilla. This is not an option that all the Web browsers have.
To optimise the site means to write the codes as accurate asyou can write them so that they will be loaded by the site more quickly, because in the end, the browser loads the pages that you have written. Yes, the images and the videos and the content is there as well, but the first thing that the browser sees is the code and the attributes and the properties and so on. This is why when you write HTML pages and PHP and CSS and so on, you have to make it optimised from the start. I know that this is hard and you have to think very well what are you going to write in your code, and not only that, you will have to rethink the whole process and come up with a solution that allows you to get the same result (which is the same image of the site, with the same functional links), but written by a lower number of codes. Do you think that this is impossible? Think again!
If you have a lot of things to say on your blog, you can attach more HTML pages, instead of writing the whole content on 5 or 6. When the browser wants to load a page, it will not load the whole site, but only the page that you requested. Of course, all the links in that page are active, this means that if you click on one, the browser will show that page. If you place too many ads or too much text on a page, be sure that it will load with difficulty.
When talking of sub-pages, after every page like this, you should use a slash (/), because the browser will first insert the slash when the domain name is over and then will search the site on the Internet. In other words, the browser will do two actions, instead of one. By adding the slash from the beginning, you will help the browser to eliminate a time which is considered dead from the start, since it does not help the user in any way. In fact, the user might not even realise that the loading time is longer, because the admin of that site did not place a slash at the end of the domain name.
