Smashing Notes

Blog load time is one of the problems among blog owners. As much as possible we want o load pages on our blog faster to please blog visitors s they browse those  pages. But unfortunately we can't avoid this thing to happen. What we can only do is minimize or lessen the blog load time by considering some factors.

One of the factors to consider in making your blog load faster is your blog widgets. Widget makes a contribution on the slow blog load, specially those widgets which has external links on it. This kind of widgets are customized not like the "easy install" widgets available in your blog platform. Usually, people who customized these widgets includes their links on the codes which makes the blog load time slower because they are external links to crawl. So as much as possible, remove the unnecessary widgets on your blog.

Another factor is blog advertisements. Of course bloggers want to monetize their blogs that's why they put ads on it. But as what I've said, external links slows blog load time and advertisements and banner ads are some of those. So better choose an advertising network that does not slow our blog load time.

And lastly, you can enhance your blog load time by compressing the CSS codes of your blog template. The bigger the size of the CSS codes, it contributes more on blog load time. That's why simply blog design loads faster than that of a customize and premium looking ones.

There are more factors to consider like your blog hosting and platform and the same time there's a lot of software to remedy this problem out there but of course you have to spend some for that.
