You can reduce the load time of the website by decreasing the image size and removing the cookies. See whether you have installed any plugins in the server. Due to plugins also there is chance of increasing load time.

Loading time for a website is an important factor to build popularity. It can be reduced by:

Good hosting service
Less number of webpage ads
Clearing browser cookies
Cheap VPS | $1 VPS Hosting
Cheap Dedicated Servers | Free Setup with IPMI

Usually, when I try to optimize my blogs, I do several things such as:

  • Install Optimization Plugins if using WordPress
  • Optimize Images with Compressor Tools
  • Use CloudFlare
  • Use Fastest Loading Web Hosting Company - I mostly prefer FastComet Hosting or WPX Hosting
  • Use Fastest Loading Theme if using WordPress

1. Optimize Image Size and Format
The images on your site can take up a lot of bandwidth, which affects the loading time of your page. It is not enough to downsize your website's images in HTML because that only changes the appearance of the image and not its actual size. Use external picture editor tools to resize the images, such as Photoshop and set them to 72dpi.


2. Optimize Dependencies
Plugins: A site that requires plugins may slow your page loading speed. Not all plugins are unnecessary; for example, social share plugins which are a must-have for every site these days. That said, always check to see if there is a better alternative to the plugin, such as using a CMS with built-in social plugins.
Tracking Scripts: While it is wise to keep tabs on your website's traffic stats, it is not advisable to use multiple tracking softwares as this may hinder the page load time. If you are using a CMS such as WordPress, you should allow either WP stats to run scripts on your page or Google Analytics, but not both.
CMS Software: If you are using a CMS such as WordPress it is recommended to check frequently for updates in the software but do not load these on a live website. First carry out upgrades on a separate server to test them. Keeping abreast of software updates also improves a site's speed.

3. Avoid Inline JS and CSS files
It is a good practice to place your website's JS and CSS in external files. When the page loads the browser caches these files externally and reduces the page load time on subsequent requests. Moreover, having the JS and CSS files externally allows for easier site maintenance.

4. Optimize Caching
Every time a visitor loads a site, your web page's image files, CSS and Java files load as well, taking up a lot of page load time. When caching is set up correctly, your browser can store these resources or files for subsequent requests. On repeated page loads these files can be retrieved from the cache rather than downloading them all over again from the network. This also reduces bandwidth and hosting costs.

5. Avoid render blocking scripts
Place javascript files at the end of the body or use the 'async' attribute to load them asynchronously.

6. Avoid Redirects
Avoiding redirects increases serving speed. Some redirects are unavoidable and need to be in place but you must remember that this requires an additional HTTP which increases the page load time. Check for broken links and fix them immediately.

7. Set up G-Zip Encoding
Similar to files on your PC that are zipped and compressed to reduce the total size during online file transfers, heavy files on your website can be zipped with something called the G-Zip Compression. This saves bandwidth and download time and reduces your page loading speed. You should configure the server so that it returns zipped content.

8. Reduce HTTP Requests
Use CSS Sprites to reduce the number of image requests. Combine background images into a single image by using CSS background-image and background-position elements. Combine inline images into your cached stylesheets. Likewise, combine all your javascript files into a single file and all your CSS files as well.

9. Minification of JavaScript and CSS
Minification is the process of compressing the code by renaming variables to shorter names which helps to reduce its size and the subsequent loading time.

10. Reduce Cookie Size
Cookies are used to store data that needs to persist between requests. This data is sent on every request and adds to the load time when it's big. Hence, by reducing the size of the cookies you reduce the size of the data that is transferred and decrease the page load time. Eliminate unnecessary cookies or reduce the size of the cookies.
