Today I've learned a little bit about website performance optimization particularly on the factors that slow down our web page. So, here I would like to share them with all of you too. I have made it into a simpler bullet form so that it's easier to see and understand. I hope it helps!
1. Third-party online ad network
- Online advertisement (mostly based on Javascript) can slow down a website
- The web host cannot keep up with the demand when the resource-intensive website is used
- Hence, the website will experience a slow and intermittent page load
- The shiny-looking plugin or widget that promises useful features could be the main slow-loading culprit
- The more plugins and widgets installed, the more work it requires for it to load
- Not using Gzip compression
- Gzip compresses CSS, Javascript and HTML files by more than 50% of the file size
- When the Gzip compression is not used, it takes more time to load web pages and use more bandwidth

- The fancier the web pages are, the slower it is going to load
- Videos, music and image slideshows are great sources of content, but they can also add more codes to the web page, affecting page load speed
- Unsuitable browsers and apps
- Flash causes a website to slow down and it is not compatible with most mobile devices
- Browsers such as Chrome do not work well with some plugins
- Uploading large images to the website slows down the site when these images are loaded on browsers.
- The solution is to trim their size (usually measured in pixels) and weight (measured in kb) of each image before they are uploaded.
