- 20. SEMRush’s analysis out of the 150,000 websites was that 43% of the sites had more than 1 critical issue. One reason for slow load speed can be a large HTML page size. Only 1% of the 43% of websites with critical issues are due to large HTML pages. So the other 42% come from server issues.
- 21. @craigcampbell03 Common Server Issues 21 Crap Hosting Cheap crap hosting can cause your website to load slow, get a dedicated server if you can. No Browser Caching No browser caching means your website loads every single time for each visitor. 25% with no caching From the study SEMRush done, 25% of those 42% of sites with server issues have no browser caching. High Traffic Websites Websites that are getting high traffic can slow down if you are on a small website server. Excessive Plugin Use Wordpress users overloading websites with plugins can also cause a problem. Too Many Redirects Using too many redirects again is a common problem.
- 22. Personally for any website I own that generates revenue, I would look at dedicated hosting. More expensive but for speed and many other reasons I would recommend you do the same. Craig Campbell
- 23. Cloudflare Another tip would be to use Cloudflare or similar CDN, this can also improve site speed & it has a number of other benefits too. It helps speed up websites and security.
- 24. @craigcampbell03 Additional Cloudflare Benefits 24 Http/2 Protocol Newly introduced HTTP/2 protocol are two times faster than HTTP/1.1. Free SSL This can never be a bad thing getting something for Free. Image Optimisation Polish helps optimise your images for faster loading speeds. Load Balancing Cloudflare serves your website from the closest server based on the users location. DDoS Protection DDoS protection is important, having your website protected from these attacks is vital.
