Having an effective and well-designed web site can provide quick load times and allow users who will seemingly have a best experience and should spend longer on the web page. Though this is simply a small area of web site design it's conjointly an area that is often unnoticed.
So what are you able to do to help improve your loading times?
In a website there are several elements that must be optimized to gain extra speed when opening, as follows:
1. Picture / Photo
Images / photos that we use in the web are categorized into several types of formats; commonly used image formats are JPEG, PNG, GIF. Here are some of their advantages and disadvantages:JPEG
Advantage: Can be compressed to the smallest scale with a variety of sizes
Disadvantage: Cannot be made transparent / without background, this is the kind of solid image.
PNG
Advantage: This image format has a good resolution for the web and can be used as a transparent image.
Disadvantage: This format has a relatively large size and affects the upload time.
GIF
Advantage: This is the lightest image format than JPEG & PNG
Disadvantage: The quality and resolution of the resulting images is relatively low, but this type is suitable for supporting image (icon).
By looking at the advantages and shortcomings of the 3 image format, you can adjust the resolution of the image you want to use on your website, in order to produce a faster load time.
2.Plugins
You should be wise in using plugins (search bar, slideshow, drop menus, etc.), this is because the animation plugins typically use JavaScript, and it takes a considerable bandwidth, as well as affect the load time.
3. Website Templates
In terms of website templates, we have heard of HTML5, which the plugin from HTML5 does not require a lot of JavaScript. You can try it, and also multiply template coding using CSS (Cascading Style Sheet), and use the method of 'image cutting' and repeat it through CSS.4. Flash
We all know that this type of format slows down the process of loading the website because of the animation, to outsmart, preferably while making a flash file, you can use any type of GIF images, so that the resulting resolution is not too big, and should use a sufficient timeframe animation (size below 1MB).
