As a blogger or a website owner, one of the first challenges we encounter is our site-loading time.
There are sometimes you just get fed up - being the webmaster, then you consider how visitors will feel waiting for your site to load. Today, I'm going to be putting you through some steps that'll boost your site's speed up by more than half, lets kick off.
1. Bandwidth Allocated By Your Host
This is the first thing you should consider while speeding 'things' up, you want to be sure how many Megabyte or Gigabyte has been allocated to you. Think of a bandwidth like your device's (smartphone or PC) RAM, when your device's RAM is overloaded your phone slows down same thing happens in your site, the more visitors you have the more bandwidth usage.
Solution: Find a good host (I'll not mention any) that has a high bandwidth offer that'll be suitable for the type of website you run.
2. Image, Music and Video Files
Before I talk about the compression aspect, let me give you an advice, don't upload videos and music directly to your website for streaming or download, they consume space on your web disk, more than you could ever imagine. And they increase your site-load time. Now about compression, since its necessary you upload your images directly into your website's disk ... Its best you compress them, you can Google your Host's way of compressing images.
Solution: Upload your videos to Vimeo or YouTube and embed the video link to your site.
3. Plugins, JavaScript

Solution: Deactivate and Remove all unwanted plugins and JavaScript codes.
Finally, after all these steps you can use the Pingdom tool to check your site speed.
