HubSpot Shares 6 Ways to Reduce Your Website’s Page Load Time
Your website’s speed decides whether the visitors would prefer to visit it again. Slow page loading time is one of the biggest constraints that websites face.
HubSpot contributor Gregg Crystal has shared six useful strategies to reduce your website’s page loading time.
Crystal says, “While a few modern content management systems like HubSpot implement speed-enhancing options out-of-the-box, more common systems, like WordPress and Joomla, require a little manual labor to get up to speed.
Now let’s look at some essential speed solutions that every webmaster should consider.
1. Scale down your images.
Images are one of the most common bandwidth hogs on the web. The first way to optimize your images is to scale them appropriately, so they don’t affect page loading time as much.
Many webmasters use huge images and then scale them down with CSS. What they don’t realize is that your browser still loads them at the full image size. For example, if you have an image that is 1000 x 1000 pixels, but you have scaled it down to 100 x 100 pixels, your browser must load ten times more than necessary”.
