Taking The Time To Increase Your Blog’s Speed

Taking the time to increase your blog’s speed is important. I spent most of yesterday working on the insides of this blog. You could almost call it Spring cleaning, being Spring and all. The reason behind it all was that I wanted to speed this baby up a little as it was starting to drag its sorry little ass and we can’t have that now can we?

I’ve read around the traps that the loading speed of any given website is critical because search engines such as Google will penalize slow-moving sites. Truth be told though there is something so much more important than the search engines and that’s your visitors. If your site takes too long to load you’re going to piss your visitors off and they’re going to leave without ever seeing what it is you have to offer. So anyway, here’s what I did to improve the loading speed of this blog.

You make this a regular part of your blog maintenance because even though you’ve done it before chances are that over time you’ve gotten slack or added things to your blog that ultimately slowed it down. I reckon that making it part of your spring cleaning routine would be a great idea. The last time I did, it was when I wrote about Speeding Up Your Blog To Keep Your Readers Happy sometimes last May. You may want to check that sucker out to see what I did to make things go faster. That was then, and this is now, so here’s some of the stuff I did yesterday to improve my reader’s experience.
