Optimize your website to load quickly.

Can you be considering getting your website to release in the browser quickly? In case you have a personal website for hobby sake, it could be a big deal but if you are in charge of a company website attracting customers, this can be tremendously important. If the homepage can take forever to load into the browser, you may well be dropping out on crucial business. The only solution is to develop the page again so that visitors or customers who open it stay there.

We need to understand that not every net connection works on Cable, T1 or ISDN. A major number of surfers in the world still use modems today (normally 56. 6Kbps). For that reason, it is imperative that this website design should take into consideration that this should load quickly over a low-speed internet connection.

Design and style parameters which may have to be kept in mind are incredibly simple:

Loading time is dependent on the scale (disk size) of the page. Even more, space is occupied when you integrate images and multimedia content. The larger the size, the larger the bandwidth required assuming that the loading time is constant. Multimedia files that contain sound (.wav) inhabit a lot of space (for example, a reasonable clip of 30 mere seconds occupies about 200-300KB). Online video content is more challenging (at least 2MB) so it's better to convert them to GIF images that have enough frames to display the video. The information should be weeded out from the home page unless you feel that it offers or break your website. In the event that you feel that you should keep these, make sure the page sizes are around 30-40K. Or perhaps you could put them on another page linked from your homepage.

Images can also get substantial in size, particularly if they are an excellent source of resolution. Keep the image size as small as possible. A page with a 1280x720 image would take a long time to load. Image size depends on their SD (Size on Disk) after the scale. It's better to compress them using certain utilities available free on the internet.
If you are trying to have a good pattern background with a high-resolution image, it's better to crop off a unit of pattern and repeat it all over the web page. Then your website will load many times faster.

Attempt to use images that you have suited for your homepage, on the other pages also rather than changing them. Once the images are exposed for the first time, they are stored in the browser's cache, and subsequently loaded from there. This will fasten the loading process immensely.

One more way to load images quickly is by determining the image dimensions in the image tags. At this time, the browser understands the quantity of space required for the image and it does indeed not need to conform text and other content after loading the image. This will likely also prevent page jumping during the image loading process.

The home page should be short and detailed. The longer the web page more is the time taken to load. Every extra information can be moved to subsequent internet pages and linked to the homepage. 
This will help you in organizing your website in a better way :)
