💡3 WAYS TO OPTIMIZE YOUR WEBSITE SPEED FOR THIS HOLIDAY SEASON PT-2
As discussed in the last edition (Part-1) about the best ways you can rely on when working on improved website speed, we are here with more in this Part-2 where we put forward more strategies to implement for giving a smooth user experience for your customers and converting them more.
So, let’s delve into the 3-easy strategies to amp up your site speed:
1️⃣ Speed >>> Theme
Studies show that 94% of consumers form their first impression within one-tenth of a second. And with the recent update of Google’s LightHouse 11, which helps in debugging the website performance issues–it's bound to see your website run faster.
The following changes and additions are notable:
New Accessibility Audits: The addition of new audits to check for accessibility improvements from time to time.
Fix for Largest Contentful Paint Scoring Bug: They've fixed a bug that affected the scoring of Largest Contentful Paint.
Updated Interaction to Next Paint (INP): The status of Interaction to Next Paint (INP) has been updated to reflect that it's no longer experimental.
Remember:
A simple streamlined theme can reduce the bounce rate of over 50%,
Do optimize your website for every piece of content you add.
Run regular lighthouse audits to check on the page speed and improve what’s necessary.
2️⃣Implement Lazy Loading:
Lazy loading is a useful technique that delays loading all content on a webpage at once.
Imagine a user visiting your product page. With lazy loading, only the content initially visible on the screen, like the title, images, and a short description, loads right away. As the user scrolls down, more content appears progressively.
Benefits of lazy loading:
Cuts down on initial loading time - Lazy loading makes a web page load faster initially by reducing its size.
Saves bandwidth - Lazy loading saves internet data by loading content only when it's needed.
Saves system resources - It conserves both server and user device resources because it only loads certain images, JavaScript, and code when necessary
If you have user-generated videos and heavy content on your website, it can slow down the site speed. So, once you set up lazy loading, your website will load faster and smoother.
