Top 8 Reasons that Slow Down your Blog’s Perfomance

In my previous post, I wrote about 10 Tips To  Make Your Blog Loading Faster. Now, Let’s start slowing down our website or blog’s loading speed

It is very simple and there is no hard steps to do it.  It will be simple to lose your website / blog’s traffic. Here are those 8 easy steps.

  1. More Javascript
    Include as much javascript code as you can in your web page. This will surely increase your webpage’s total size. And hence the loading time will be much more.
  2. More CSS
    Once you have included more CSS codes/files in your web page, it is easy to slow down your website’s loading speed.
  3. Embed Multimedia
    Multimedia files include Flash content, Audio Files, Video Files, etc. When including or embedding such files in your web page, it will increase the burden by means of size and more server requests.
  4. Include Images
    Including images is not a big issue. But including as much images or flooding your webpage full of images will do the rest by slowing down the speed.
  5. More Database Queries
    In dynamic web pages which uses languages like PHP, PERL, etc., start querying your database everytime without having much reasons. This will burden your database server with full of requests and will surely benefit your competitor.
  6. Use Erroneous Scripts/Code
    This is one easy method. When the server faces any such erroneous script/ code, it will be in much confusion to solve it and will just flood your web server with error log files (more burden for server).
  7. No Compression
    Don’t use any compression techniques in your webpages. This will not only increase your web page size. But will also increase your web server’s burden on responding to more requests from your web page.
  8. No Cache
    Don’t ever cache any of your website’s content. Contents like CSS, JS, etc. can be avoided to cache in client’s computer. Hence, everytime when he/she requests for the entire webpage content, the web browser will fetch everything from the starting point to ending point.

One final word is just give more burden to your web server with full of requests and see the failure result.
