+ good coding ( the important only ) + extract your used css properties from bootstrap ( if you can ) and use min.css if you can't + extract your used functions from jquery ( if you can ) and use compressed js + if you use bootstrap extract your used functions from it ( if you can ) or use min.js if you can't + use images with less colors + use CDN reference & windows.jquery || document.write("<script src='jquery-1..2.js'><\\\\/script>")

 

 

Note

make you scripts and css templates from scratch for future use ( improve your templates all the time ) , observe that every website has its requirements to be fast

Hi - First improve the html code, make sure it doesn't have broken links, unnecessary tags, second, make sure you are using correct format of images, for website generally png, gif and jpeg images should be used, always define height, width of the images, use optimized CSS code, use trailing slash at the end of url, so that page doesn't redirect everytime it is liaded, verify your code with w3c validators.
  Hope it helps!

As a website designer/developer it is important to minimise the html tagging to find maximum output. Sometimes we write different html/javascripting tags for the webpage to be compatible with different browsers. However, using standardized tags is more advisable even if it does not meet up to the expectations. Also use of well formed XML is equally important, the knowledge of DOM is a plus. Apart from this load time of your page will always depend upon the data returned from the dB server (if any) and optimized transaction staements to do this.

  • Make sure you have no broken links and unnecessary tags.
  • Use back-lash at the end of links
  • Improve your caching system
  • avoid using absolute links
  • For the case of videos, stream them from another portal like Youtube instead of loading from the website.
  • Optimize your photos
  • If you are using CMS such as Wordpress, make sure you update the plugins
