1. Reasons for
Your Site Getting
Slow!

2. A popular proverb says that
“Slow and steady wins the
race”, but it doesn’t seem to be
valid for website speed.
Fast and Steady wins the race

3. Losing Business
● The failure here is not just
losing the race but also a
business.
● So make sure you identify
the reasons for your website
being too slow and rectify
them as early as possible.

4. Un-optimized images:
● Un-optimized images
have been the most
common cause for your
website getting slow.
● Generally, full-sized
images consume a lot of
bandwidth when they are
loading.

5. Un-optimized images:
● Consider changing the
image format as it reduces
the size significantly.
● Finally, reduce the picture
quality. It doesn’t mean you
are making the picture look
bad.
● You are just altering the
settings to reduce the size.

6. Excessive Fancy Flash
● Fancy is definitely a fun but
not always!
● Flash is considered as a
sumo wrestler of software
as it is bulky and huge.
● Excessive usage of flash in
your website can slow down
your website significantly.

7. Bulky Code
● Most of the coders consider
adding a white space in order to
make the pages more readable.
● But you can maintain the
readability even without much of
the white spaces in the code.

8. External Media Usage
● External media also
reducing website speed.
● If you feel that any
particular video or a
slideshow is relevant to
your site but you need to
think twice before
embedding someone
else’s media into your
site.

9. External Media Usage
● When you embed some external media into your
site, you site starts running as fast as the host
site.
● If the host site is running slowly, even your site
will run in the same speed.

10. It’s not that the entire has to be plain but it
certainly has to load faster as the slower
websites might be a main reason for you losing
your business.
