Because most of us spend time online, therefore we need to make our blog loading faster. There are a few things a webmaster can do to speed up his site. But on a free platform like Blogger, you don’t have much control over your site. Therefore, there are only a few things you can do to speed up the loading of your blog. I will discuss some tips in this article.
Previously you should check your blog loading speed score first before and after applying this method. That way, you can find out whether each of these methods I provide is worth using or not. Here are 10 effective tips to speed up the loading of your blog.
Compress Template Code:
Uncompressed code may be good for you but not for users. This causes the page to load slower. For this problem, you can use HTML Compressor to compress HTML, Javascript, CSS, etc. Once compressed, the site will show you how many sizes you have saved. Just paste the code into the text area, select the blogger code, and hit compress. The site will detect the code automatically and tell you to make changes if needed.
Code that has been compressed is usually messy. Therefore, to beautify the HTML display again, you can visit Code Beautifier.
Reduce the Number of Widgets:
Some widgets require a lot of bandwidth to load. You have to make sure that only the most important widgets are used. I only use the Popular Posts Widget only the rest of the AdSense widget.
Compress Image:
you also need to optimize the image by reducing the file size of the image so that the page loading is faster. There are several services that provide compress images without reducing image quality. Using a compressed image might look great for the look of a blog with a jpeg compressor. However, it decreases the loading time of your website. Try changing your blog background image to a solid color like white, black, red, etc.
The pictures we use also have different types of formats especially on pictures that use JPG format where they are usually quite large up to 60kb-200kb in size. You can small the size of the kb picture by using the free online service by using Compress JPEG to reduce the size of your picture several formats such as PNG, PDF, SVG, GIF.
Avoid excessive use of javascript
Javascript that is less prioritized should be added before closing the body tag. You should also use a high-speed CDN to import javascript. Placing the javascript code before closing the body tag ensures that the code is loaded last. Therefore, users can start reading the content even before the site is fully loaded.
Reduce Excessive Use of Ads:
Too many ads can also slow down your blog, therefore, reducing excessive use of ads. You can also use the AdSense Lazy load Script, to speed up the loading of the ads that will appear.
Use a Fast-Loading Template
If your blog is still slow after trying all these ways, chances are your blog has bad code. In such cases, switch to a fast-loading template like Mas Sugeng’s VioMagz template like the one I used for the MasPutro.com blog. For templates, please search according to your wishes and make sure the template has fast loading.
