Web Design Tips Page speed

December 28, 2009 Posted by Gary Web Design 29 Comments

We have gone through a tough year of trying to adjust ourselves to the ever changing world of web design the web 2.0 era social networking sites the new guidelines for bloggers in regards to disclosure policy well all that aside i must remind you that i am no expert in seo or web designer just trying to share some knowledge with you.We are quite aware of the fact that as bloggers we crave for a decent Google Page Rank i too would love a pr 6 blog unfortunately that is not the case at the moment what the future holds for lawmacs.com in the next updates  not sure but i pay little attention to pr at the moment now lets turn or attention to the latest news that Google has hinted that Page Speed will be included in its ranking factor .

There are some topics about this but as Website Designer when creating Web pages this should already be a factor taken into consideration as i have mentioned in one of my earlier post Content or Page Rank that when creating or designing your web pages you should focus on the user and everything else will follow not surprisingly Page Speed has now been include as part the ranking factor  to help with your Page Loading Time here are some Tips

(1)Put Cascading Style Sheet at the top this lets your page load faster and the server only needs to read this file once and it is best practice to use CSS sprite buy this is meant using one image with smaller images embedded in it and use your style sheet to do the rest.

(2)JavaScript – Avoid using too much heavy files put JavaScript files at the bottom i too use JavaScript files but try to use small files for quicker Loading Time we all like a little fancy or stylish website but too many animations is not advisable but you can still make your design stylish without too many scrolling text or animation.

(3)Page size Try to keep your page at a reasonable size some recommend that it be about 50k although some times we go above this ensure that the user doesn’t have to scroll horizontally to view your web pages this can be a turn off. test your website pages with several browsers and make sure that they load completely and quickly make sure that your links work.

After all we design to suit of readers although search engines are the source of our traffic the reader is the one that bring the clicks and help your website to generate the revenue so now i left you to share your thoughts on this post do you think page speed should be a part of your ranking factor? have your say.

    I think that page speed matters in your google page rank because if it’s not used to directly effect your google pr, it still indirectly affects your google pr.

    If your blog loads too slowly, many people will simply leave before it finishes loading. If you are getting visitors that click on your blog and click right back off because of a slow loading page, (or any other reason), this effects your google page rank.

    Also use less image ads , instead use text ads as it loads faster than image ads and on the homepage also use as much as less possible , this way the visitor will try to browse your blog and explore more out of it 🙂 🙂 🙂

    "[i]i must remind you that i am no expert in seo or web designer just trying to share some knowledge with you[/i]."

    You’ve been blogging for a long time now and have written a lot of articles on these subjects. I think that should at least make you some kind of expert, Gary. hehe.

    The three simple tips you gave about improving [i]pagespeed[/i] are really useful, and I agree these will greatly enhance the browsing experience of a lot of users since there are still a lot of people who use the slower types of internet connection like dial-up. Nice post, Gary!

    I have also write one article on this, google caffeine the new ranking system of google will rank page by seeing different factors like page speed, broken links, proper navigation etc.

    So we should take more precaution when we develop one blog or website.

    Well, I strongly agree with your writing. I’ve opened a blog page / site that installed the flash on blog pages, and it looks good … but affects the loading process. I think the visitor will not like it when loading a page blog too long, they will immediately close the page. I prefer to put pictures on my blog page. Thanks for sharing your articlces

    Very nicely written. I think that it is a very good move from Google. Sooner or later, they had to come up with anything like this. Considering page speed as a ranking factor, I do not see anything wrong with it. In my opinion, it is more likely to improve the quality of the websites. Been through ‘n’ number of sites myself, I have come to know that people usually do not pay much importance to this page speed. It has been the case mostly with blogs where people keep on adding too much of graphical ads thereby increasing the page load time. Not to mention, I am also in this list 😉 but yes, it can happen at times and mostly when you want to make your page look more beautiful and attractive. You may have to compromise with these things. But as you said in your post, we can use the CSS technique to get that look and feel without worrying much about the page speed. Also, Javascript, it should be kept minimum on your pages. It can badly affect your page speed. And page size, I will surely have a look at it. Great tips !

    Good advice keeping a page under 50K. Surprising how many web designers don’t know how much they can save by correctly optimising images with very little drop in image quality.

    Absolutely right. Now Google considers page loading speed as a factor while ranking a website. You can speed up your webpage loading time by making use of CSS, Javascript or other scripting language. Other thing to be considered is that you should make less use of images for your website. Images take more time to load which increase page loading time. Even I would suggest that do not use images if it is not required. Moreover, visitors would not like if they are surfing your site and it takes very long time to load. It may decrease the number of visitors to your site. So that design your website such a way that it looks attractive but does not take more time to load.
