Fast Loading Website - How To?
Are you interested in getting your website to load in the
browser quickly? In case you have a personal website for hobby
sake, it may be no big deal but if you are responsible for a
corporate website attracting customers, this can be tremendously
important. If the homepage takes forever to load into the
browser, you may be losing out on crucial business. The only
solution is to design the page again so that visitors or
customers who open it stay there.
We need to understand that not every internet connection works
on Cable, T1 or ISDN. A major number of surfers in the world
still use modems today (normally 56.6Kbps). Therefore it is
imperative that the site design should take into consideration
that it should load quickly on a low speed internet connection.
Design parameters that have to be kept in mind are very simple:
Loading time depends upon the size (disk size) of the page. More
space is occupied when you integrate images and multimedia
content. The bigger the size, the larger the bandwidth required
assuming that the loading time is constant. Multimedia files
containing sound (.wav) occupy a lot of space (for example, a
sound clip of 30 seconds occupies about 140KB). Video content is
more taxing (at least 1MB). This content should be weeded out of
the home page unless you feel that it can make or break your
website. If you feel that you should keep these, make sure the
page sizes are around 30-40K. Or you could put them on another
page linked form your homepage.
Images can also get very large in size, especially if they are
of high resolution. Keep the image size as small as possible. A
page with a 600X600 image would take a long time to load. Image
size depends upon the size. They can also be compressed using
certain utilities available free on the internet.
Try and use images that you have used on your homepage, on the
other pages also instead of changing them. When the images are
opened for the first time, they are stored in the browsers
cache, and subsequently loaded from there. This will fasten the
loading process immensely.
Another way to load images quickly is by defining the image
dimensions in the image tags. By this, the browser understands
the amount of space required for the image and it does not need
to readjust text and other content after loading the image. This
will also prevent page jumping during the image loading process.
The home page should be short and descriptive. The longer the
page more is the time taken to load. All extra information can
be moved to subsequent pages and linked to the homepage. This
will also help organizing the website better.
