Improving the loading speed of our website or blog is an important factor for both our human visitor and search engine robots, therefore improving it helps us with both.<\/p>\n
I promised that my next article was going to be something very practical and applicable, so here are 5 tips to improve loading speed:<\/p>\n
1) Good Hosting: <\/strong>Although it seems very basic, it is a point that is worth touching, if we have a small website with few visits per day there is no problem with using shared servers, but if we have a popular site with a good volume of traffic the best is a server dedicated. 2) Know when to use gif, jpg or png:<\/strong> Playing with the different image formats makes their sizes vary considerably.<\/p>\n It is advisable to use the GIF format when it comes to logos, favicons, text, etc.<\/strong> They do not require the use of many colors, when we save a GIF file it is good to make sure that we use a small color palette.<\/p>\n JPG is a good format for images with many colors and details such as photographs, while PNG is a very useful format when we need transparent images of good quality.<\/p>\n 3) More DIVs, fewer tables:<\/strong> Although it seems fiction, many people still use tables to layout websites.<\/p>\n What is the problem with the tables?<\/strong><\/p>\n El problema es que usamos un montón de código para básicamente nada, usar «<td>» y «<tr>» por doquier no ayuda al visitante ni brinda información relevante sobre el tema de nuestra página al motor de búsqueda… por lo tanto solo estorba.<\/p>\n
