Images and videos are large files that take time to load on your website. This can cause increased loading times, or the page may not render correctly when media does not load right away. The easiest way to optimize media on your website is to lower the resolution or size of the images.
An HTTP request is made by a client to a named host on a server. These requests are made for images, styles, links, and videos. The more requests that are made on a page, the longer it takes for a page to load. Reducing these by limiting the number of assets on a page will optimize loading times for slower devices.
Even the most streamlined website will run slow if the host server is not optimal, so making sure your server can efficiently load files is key. You can use third-party services to take a load off the server . Caching s can save time by having the visitor of a site store certain information on their device in the form of a disposable cache.
Redirecting from one URL to another takes time. Usually, it does not take much time, but as redirects pile up, it takes increasingly longer. It is important to ensure that if a chain of redirects is forming, you update the redirects to lead to the final destination directly.
