Speed up Your Web Site and Increase SalesCopyright © 2005-2008 Leva Duell Your web site’s loading speed has a significant impact on your visitors' loyalty. A slow web site will cost you sales. Most visitors won't wait more than 10 seconds for your web pages to load. Not everyone has high speed Internet access. If you're targeting the general public and a worldwide market, apply these techniques to speed up your pages, keep potential buyers at your site, and increase sales. Six tips to speed up your web pages. 1. Give viewers something to read as quickly as possible. 2. Provide a lot of graphics or images only if you know your audience has fast Internet connections. (Your load time will vary depending on your visitors' access speed.) 3. If you're targeting the general public, avoid large and unnecessary graphics, animated graphics, sound, movies, Flash animation, and large banners -- especially on your home page. (Graphics slow your web pages down considerably.) 4. Use graphics and images that support your sales message and illustrate the benefits of your products or services. 5. Keep your pages short. Split up long pages into several pages. Breaking up pages into several pages also allows you to track which pages potential buyers go to. 6. Avoid links to slow-loading pages. Visitors like pictures without sacrificing speed. Apply these tips to optimize your images.
