A Quick Loading Site – Nucent
Technologies (Website
Design Company India) Guide
A slow loading website is
always frustrating especially if it’s your homepage or is trying
to run a business etc. If your front page takes too long to
download into a browser, then your answer may lie in redesigning
your page to increase the inflow of visitors that decide to stay
on your site longer.
Every
website design company
must remember that not everyone is privileged with a T1,
cable modem, or ISDN connection and that there are still
a large number of surfers with modems less than 56k. So
as
website design company
we must see to it that sites load as quickly as possible
without missing anything important.
An obvious glitch would be the
bandwidth hogs: images and other media. Nucent
Technologies
website design company
suggests that take out every form of multimedia embedded
in your front page except for images. A background song
may seem attractive, but sound files take up a great
deal of bandwidth, especially if it’s a .wav file.
Videos are an even bigger issue and should probably be
avoided unless absolutely necessary. If a surfer has to
wait more than 15 seconds for a page to upload, he or
she might be tempted to hit the "Back" or "Stop" button.
So if you use these, you should keep the file size small
or a better option would be to use them for a later
page.
Images are also a worry. The larger the
image, the larger the problem will be. For
do not make any image any larger than required for the
desired effect. If you have an image that is 550 x 650
pixels it might take an eternity to load. The easy way
to avoid this problem is simply to reduce the size of
the image through editing options. Another option is to
compress the images using special services on the web,
which reduce the file size images for you, and let you
choose the images that still look good once they are
compressed. There are links to an image program, an
image rendering tutorial, and image file size reduction
services at the bottom of the article.
After you have compacted the image as
much as possible, you can save loading time by repeating
the images of the front page on the later pages. The
image that was loaded for the viewer will be in the
browser's cache, and will load instantly when recalled
on your other pages. This will allow you to load other
things without worrying about the same images loading
again.
Another smart option recommended
by Nucent Technologies
website design company
is to define the width and height in all your image
tags. By doing this, the browser comes to know how much
space the image will use on the page, and will not have
to adjust everything once the image starts loading. It
not only saves a little time but also keeps the page
from jumping when an image loads. Finally keep the front
page as short as possible as a longer page will take
more time to load, even if it contains only text. Any
additional information should be put on another page and
should be given a link to allow surfers to view it. With
this website design company India method you will save a
little more time and possibly reduce the clutter a
little.
