The Nuts and Bolts

Page speed optimization

involves a series of steps to reduce the time it takes for a page to load for users. Here are some common approaches for optimizing page speed:

  • Minimize HTTP requests: Reduce the number of elements on a page, such as images, scripts, and stylesheets, to minimize the number of HTTP requests made.
  • Compress and optimize images: Use tools such as Kraken.io or Photoshop to reduce the file size of images without sacrificing quality.
  • Minify CSS, JavaScript, and HTML: Minification removes unnecessary characters, such as white space and comments, from code to reduce its size.
  • Use a content delivery network (CDN): A CDN stores a cached version of your site on servers around the world, reducing the time it takes for content to load for users.
  • Defer JavaScript: Move JavaScript code to the bottom of the page or use a technique called “defer parsing” to ensure it does not block page rendering.
  • Reduce server response time: Ensure your server has enough resources and optimize database queries to reduce the time it takes for the server to respond.
  • Use browser caching: Store commonly used elements, such as images and scripts, in the browser cache so they do not need to be loaded with each page request.

These are some of the common approaches to optimize page speed. However, specific optimization strategies will vary based on the size and complexity of your site, as well as the technologies used.

The following are some of the key phrases used in page speed optimization. Implementing these techniques and tools can help you improve the performance and speed of your website.

Minification - the process of reducing the size of code and assets, such as JavaScript, CSS, and images, to improve the loading time of a web page.

Compression - the process of reducing the size of data being transferred from a server to a client, typically using gzip compression.

Caching - the process of storing frequently used data and assets on the client side to reduce the number of requests made to the server, thus improving the loading speed of a web page.

Lazy loading - the process of loading images and other content only when it becomes visible in the viewport, to reduce the initial load time of a web page.

Image optimization - the process of reducing the size of images, including resizing, compressing, and converting to a more optimized format.

Content Delivery Network (CDN) - a network of servers that deliver content to users based on their geographic location, to reduce the distance and time needed to transfer data.

HTTP/2 - the latest version of the HTTP protocol, which provides several performance improvements, such as server push and multiplexing, over its predecessor, HTTP/1.1.

Browser caching - the process of storing commonly used assets, such as images and scripts, in the browser cache, so they can be reused without having to be re-downloaded.

Defer parsing of JavaScript - the process of delaying the loading of JavaScript until the critical content of a web page has finished loading, to improve the initial loading time of a web page.
