Website performance

Website performance is all about making your website load faster, saving resources from your server and, thus, from your organization.

It ends up making for a better experience for your visitors. Also, one of the underlying goals of improving your website performance is making sure it’s usable as soon as possible, meaning that your user can interact with it quickly.

When someone types in your URL or clicks on a link that redirects them to your page, the browser has to find where that website is located, establish a connection to it, and then request the files.

Now, every file on that page is going to be loaded in your user’s browser. This can be delayed for several reasons: files are too large, there are way too many files to be downloaded, their internet is not quick, your server has a limited capacity, your site’s code is poorly written, and so on. The list is very large.

There are many things in this list you have control over. You don’t need to stress over all of them, but there are simple things you can do to improve your website’s performance drastically.
