Factors Affecting Website

Speed
Authoring a Website
 Bandwidth refers to the amount of data that can be transferred
or downloaded from a website.
 The speed of the networks, connections, and applications
running on a hosting server increases in direct proportion to the

Bandwidth amount of bandwidth being utilized.


 Having a high bandwidth connection is essential for websites
that deliver streaming media, those that load a lot of high-
resolution content on one page or those that deliver large data
downloads.
 The type of internet connection you have will directly affect the

Internet speed at which any website loads.


 DSL
Connection  ADSL

Speed  Cable
 4G
 Images often account for most of the downloaded bytes on a
web page and also often occupy a significant amount of visual
space.
 As a result, optimizing images can often yield some of the
largest byte savings and performance improvements for your

Image website: the fewer bytes the browser has to download, he faster
the browser can download and render useful content on the
Optimization screen

 Optimise images for web
 Use web fonts instead of encoding text in images
  The larger your file sizes are and the more files you have to
load on a page, the longer it will take to load in the browser.

Web Page Size  While improvements in connection speed have made it possible
to load larger files in less time, it’s still important to take time
to optimize your files as much as possible
 External media like videos are highly valuable but can largely
Embedded lower you load time.

Media  To gain some load time, host the videos on your own server
 If there aren’t enough resources on the server, it will slow
things down for everyone. While shared hosting is the most
economical choice for many small websites, it is not the best

WebServer solution for all. Larger websites may need to look into a virtual
private server, or VPS, which provides the cost efficiency of
shared hosting, but the ability to control server resources like a
dedicated hosting plan.
 Mobile Devices typically have less processing power than
desktop devices

Client Device  Customise content required for mobile devices to reduce the
processing time and power required from mobile devices to
load websites
 The browser you’re using can affect the speed at which
websites load. Older versions of browsers may struggle to load
Browser certain assets and code because they’re not compatible.
