Hi,

Google has started Considering the Load Time as an Important Factor while Ranking a Website at Index time.

Common reasons for a site to get load slowly.

The Time For Loading A Web Site Depends Mostly On:

1. The number / size of external resources included in the site.(Images , Feeds)

2. If Images are not properly optimized and resized. (Large and Heavy Images)

3. The database queries executed while the site loads. (Many database queries at the same time)

4. Use More Flashy Effects and High Resolutions Images. (If Flash has been used with heavy images)

I Hope This Information Helpful For You All.

Thanks.

    Thats a fair summary I suppose. A lot of times people will have huge high quality images on the web site, trying to load... and it gets a bit brutal.
    The key is to find that middle ground where the image looks good but the filesize is relatively small.

    Quit wasting your money! If you need a website, get me to do it right! I'll probably even do it for less! Design/Development/Software, I'm your guy! matt@snidge.com

    I recommend checking out the Yslow tool that analyzes the page load and poits out potential trouble spots. It's an add-on to a plugin (Firebug) for Firefox... so a bit of effort to install but both Yslow and Firebug are great web developer tools.

    I will tell you, it may seem simple but having large image files is a real problem to your site loading efficiently....

    In my early days I did not know much about image sizing and would just put any image and resize it on my webpage to fit accordingly (silly and lazy I know) haha

    But get your hands on the infran view image resizing tool, it is free and easy to use...
