Free​ ​Website​ ​Optimization​ ​Tips:​ ​Page​ ​Speed A​ ​web​ ​page's​ ​loading​ ​time​ ​is​ ​becoming​ ​extremely​ ​important​ ​in​ ​search​ ​engine​ ​rankings. Improving​ ​page​ ​speed​ ​can​ ​cost​ ​a​ ​little​ ​money,​ ​so​ ​a​ ​small​ ​business​ ​might​ ​not​ ​do​ ​it.​ ​Here​ ​are some​ ​free​ ​ways​ ​to​ ​improve​ ​page​ ​speed:

1.​ ​Serve​ ​your​ ​images​ ​from​ ​another​ ​domain.​ ​For​ ​some​ ​reason,​ ​the​ ​people​ ​designing​ ​web browsers​ ​have​ ​advanced​ ​leaps​ ​and​ ​bounds​ ​when​ ​it​ ​comes​ ​to​ ​graphics,​ ​speed,​ ​and​ ​overall capabilities​ ​but​ ​are​ ​continuing​ ​to​ ​program​ ​browsers​ ​to​ ​follow​ ​the​ ​same​ ​rules​ ​when​ ​loading​ ​a

page.​ ​One​ ​of​ ​these​ ​rules​ ​is​ ​that​ ​only​ ​two​ ​images​ ​can​ ​be​ ​loaded​ ​from​ ​the​ ​same​ ​domain​ ​at​ ​the same​ ​time.​ ​This​ ​means​ ​that​ ​if​ ​your​ ​page​ ​has​ ​eight​ ​images,​ ​your​ ​browser​ ​has​ ​to​ ​finish​ ​loading the​ ​first​ ​two​ ​before​ ​it​ ​moves​ ​on​ ​to​ ​the​ ​second,​ ​third,​ ​and​ ​fourth​ ​pair.​ ​This​ ​is​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​reasons why​ ​businesses​ ​are​ ​purchasing​ ​cloud​ ​storage​ ​space​ ​from​ ​companies​ ​like​ ​Amazon.​ ​You​ ​can​ ​find free​ ​alternatives​ ​if​ ​you​ ​run​ ​a​ ​blog​ ​on​ ​WordPress.com,​ ​Blogger,​ ​Tumblr,​ ​or​ ​have​ ​a​ ​Flickr​ ​account. This​ ​will​ ​reduce​ ​storage​ ​on​ ​your​ ​web​ ​host​ ​and​ ​offshore​ ​some​ ​of​ ​the​ ​loading​ ​to​ ​these​ ​external servers. 2.​ ​Consider​ ​CloudFlare.​ ​As​ ​a​ ​disclaimer,​ ​I​ ​don't​ ​work​ ​for​ ​CloudFlare​ ​or​ ​get​ ​paid​ ​for​ ​referring people,​ ​I​ ​just​ ​know​ ​that​ ​the​ ​service​ ​can​ ​work.​ ​With​ ​a​ ​little​ ​configuring,​ ​CloudFlare​ ​will​ ​route requests​ ​made​ ​to​ ​your​ ​server​ ​through​ ​their​ ​processors,​ ​which​ ​are​ ​usually​ ​faster.​ ​CloudFlare​ ​has paid​ ​plans,​ ​but​ ​the​ ​basic​ ​features​ ​can​ ​be​ ​had​ ​for​ ​free.​ ​I​ ​recommend​ ​CloudFlare​ ​if​ ​your​ ​web​ ​host will​ ​agree​ ​to​ ​whitelist​ ​them​ ​(you​ ​have​ ​to​ ​point​ ​your​ ​nameservers​ ​to​ ​their​ ​servers;​ ​if​ ​your​ ​host doesn't​ ​know​ ​what's​ ​going​ ​on,​ ​they​ ​may​ ​think​ ​your​ ​site​ ​has​ ​been​ ​hacked​ ​and​ ​will​ ​interfere). 3.​ ​Compress​ ​CSS​ ​and​ ​javascript.​ ​Your​ ​CMS​ ​probably​ ​has​ ​extensions​ ​that​ ​will​ ​do​ ​this​ ​for​ ​you.​ ​If not,​ ​there​ ​are​ ​a​ ​few​ ​online​ ​services​ ​that​ ​will​ ​compress​ ​your​ ​files​ ​for​ ​you.​ ​Minimizing​ ​these​ ​files will​ ​reduce​ ​their​ ​size​ ​and​ ​thus​ ​increase​ ​your​ ​page​ ​speed. 4.​ ​Serve​ ​your​ ​javascript​ ​from​ ​another​ ​domain.​ ​The​ ​same​ ​logic​ ​applies​ ​to​ ​any​ ​scripts​ ​you​ ​might be​ ​running​ ​as​ ​it​ ​does​ ​to​ ​images.​ ​Depending​ ​on​ ​the​ ​library,​ ​these​ ​can​ ​get​ ​bulky,​ ​and​ ​loading​ ​a few​ ​per​ ​page​ ​can​ ​eat​ ​up​ ​memory.​ ​Google​ ​Code​ ​hosts​ ​script​ ​libraries​ ​for​ ​jQuery​ ​and​ ​other projects.​ ​Pulling​ ​directly​ ​from​ ​Google's​ ​servers​ ​is​ ​free​ ​and​ ​secure,​ ​since​ ​they​ ​advertise​ ​a​ ​99% up-time. 5.​ ​Check​ ​your​ ​cache​ ​settings.​ ​If​ ​you're​ ​running​ ​an​ ​open​ ​source​ ​content​ ​management​ ​system​ ​like Drupal,​ ​it's​ ​likely​ ​someone​ ​has​ ​developed​ ​some​ ​extensions​ ​to​ ​boost​ ​cache​ ​performance. Installing​ ​these​ ​will​ ​help​ ​your​ ​website​ ​serve​ ​up​ ​static​ ​pages​ ​instead​ ​of​ ​dynamic​ ​pages​ ​when people​ ​visit​ ​-​ ​in​ ​simple​ ​terms,​ ​your​ ​site​ ​will​ ​display​ ​already​ ​existing​ ​pages​ ​instead​ ​of​ ​asking​ ​the database​ ​what​ ​to​ ​say​ ​every​ ​time​ ​someone​ ​is​ ​browsing.
