Website performance is critical for user experience and SEO ranking. Here are key strategies to improve your site's speed and efficiency:
🔥 1. Optimize Loading Speed
- Enable browser caching: Use
Cache-Control
headers to store static resources locally. - Minify CSS/JS: Remove unnecessary characters (whitespace, comments) to reduce file size.
- Compress images: Tools like image_optimization can resize and compress assets without quality loss.
- Leverage Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): Distribute content globally for faster access.
⚙️ 2. Implement Efficient Code Practices
- Reduce HTTP requests: Combine files and use sprites where possible.
- Use asynchronous loading: Load non-critical scripts asynchronously with
async
ordefer
. - Optimize database queries: Minimize queries and use caching mechanisms like Redis.
📈 3. Monitor and Analyze
- Use Lighthouse: Check performance metrics via performance_basics.
- Track load times: Tools like Google PageSpeed Insights provide actionable insights.
