Large images are one of the biggest causes of slow websites. Compress them without losing quality and use the correct file formats (like WebP) to reduce load time significantly.
Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN)
A CDN stores your website’s static files across a global network of servers, delivering them from the closest location to the user. This reduces load times, especially for international visitors.
Minify CSS, JavaScript, and HTML
Minification removes unnecessary spaces, line breaks, and comments in code files. This reduces file size and speeds up how quickly browsers can render the page.
Enable Browser Caching
By storing parts of your site (like images, scripts, and stylesheets) in a visitor’s browser, caching reduces the number of requests sent to the server on repeat visits, improving load time.
Implement Lazy Loading
Lazy loading defers loading images, videos, and iframes until they’re actually needed—when a user scrolls to them. This helps the initial page load much faster.
Reduce Server Response Time
A slow server slows down everything. Upgrade to better hosting, use a lightweight CMS theme, reduce plugins, and optimize your backend to deliver faster server responses.
