\"\"<\/a>Having a slow website doesn’t only mean that your visitors will have a bad experience and that you’ll lose conversions; it will also affect your visibility on search engines. If you didn’t already know, page performance is one of the major indicators Google uses to rank websites, and if your website is underperforming, this could have far-reaching consequences for your business as a whole. If you’ve noticed that your website is sluggish lately, here are four possible things that could affect its loading time.<\/p>\n

Your Hosting Package<\/h2>\n

If you’re currently using a cheap shared hosting package, you may have found the reason for your issues right there. Shared hosting plans are simply not a good option for a serious business as you\u2019re literally sharing the server and bandwidth with other websites. If there\u2019s a surge of traffic on one or multiple of these sites, your site\u2019s performance will suffer.<\/p>\n

If money is an issue, know that you don\u2019t have to invest in a server or even go for a dedicated hosting plan. A virtual private server will do just fine. While your site will still be hosted on the same server as others, each will have its dedicated resources so none can throttle on another one\u2019s bandwidth.<\/p>\n

Your Images Are Too Bulky<\/h2>\n

We\u2019re not talking about size when we talk about bulky images, though this can also be a factor. Loading images with large file sizes can be very demanding on a PC, especially when there are many of them. This is why you should look at the format you\u2019re currently using for your pictures and see if you could go for a lighter one. You could also reduce the file size of your images by compressing them.<\/p>\n

JavaScript Issues<\/h2>\n

JavaScript is one of the backbones of the internet. This is what makes your site interactive and usable for users. If you don\u2019t optimize JavaScript, however, it can significantly increase loading times. The user\u2019s computer will have to spend extra time and power on rendering heavy JavaScript before it can display a page. This is what is referred to as \u2018render-blocking JavaScript\u2019, and is very bad news for a site\u2019s performance. In this case, you can choose to either use inline JavaScript files instead of external ones, use asynchronous JavaScript loading where the script loads independently from the page, or delay JavaScript loading until users can see the rest of the page.<\/p>\n

You Aren’t Using a Content Delivery Network<\/h2>\n

Content delivery networks, or CDNs for short, are networks of servers that are dispersed strategically around the globe. These allow you to store full copies of your pages or only some elements. This will improve loading times for people who are closer to these servers than they are to your main server.<\/p>\n

If you aren\u2019t using them already, you should right now as they\u2019re rather inexpensive and a must if you have an international audience. Some of the most popular CDNs include Cloudflare and Jetpack CDN.<\/p>\n

Now that you know a bit more about what could be affecting your page loading speeds, you can start making corrections right away. Performance is very important in this day and age, so you\u2019ll need to constantly work to improve your site\u2019s speed and overall user experience.<\/p>\n
