Reasons for Your Site Getting Slow!

A popular proverb says that “Slow and steady wins the race”, but it doesn’t seem to be valid for website speed.

Fast and Steady wins the race

Losing Business

● The failure here is not just losing the race but also a business.

● So make sure you identify the reasons for your website being too slow and rectify them as early as possible.

Un-optimized images:

● Un-optimized images have been the most common cause for your website getting slow.

● Generally, full-sized images consume a lot of bandwidth when they are loading.

Un-optimized images:● Consider changing the

image format as it reduces the size significantly.

● Finally, reduce the picture quality. It doesn’t mean you are making the picture look bad.

● You are just altering the settings to reduce the size.

Excessive Fancy Flash

● Fancy is definitely a fun but not always!

● Flash is considered as a sumo wrestler of software as it is bulky and huge.

● Excessive usage of flash in your website can slow down your website significantly.

Bulky Code

● Most of the coders consider adding a white space in order to make the pages more readable.

● But you can maintain the readability even without much of the white spaces in the code.

External Media Usage● External media also

reducing website speed. ● If you feel that any

particular video or a slideshow is relevant to your site but you need to think twice before embedding someone else’s media into your site.

External Media Usage

● When you embed some external media into your site, you site starts running as fast as the host site.

● If the host site is running slowly, even your site will run in the same speed.

It’s not that the entire has to be plain but it certainly has to load faster as the slower websites might be a main reason for you losing your business.
