When it comes to providing a great browsing experience to your site visitors, there are several elements you need to focus on. And one of the important elements is the page and site loading speed.

As we know there are millions of websites dealing with different areas and ours is one of them. So it is important to meet the expectations of the visitors in best possible ways.

The Search Engine Watch contributor Mae-Lei King has shared eight ways to improve your website’s speed.

King says, “Page speed can be improved through a variety of different methods that will allow you to quickly see the true potential of your business’ website.

1. Compress files

For compressing files, a highly recommended tool to use is Gzip. Gzip allows you to reduce the size of HTML or CSS files among others, reducing overall HTTP response time. However, do not use Gzip on image files, as this may affect image quality.

2. Reduce redirects

Having a lot of redirects on your site results in more HTTP requests, which can translate into a reduction in page speed. Additionally, don’t neglect to fix broken links which can massively impact the user experience”.
