Page Speed Test

   

Page Speed

Page Speed is a key factor in the website speed estimations (along with DNS lookup speed and website latency). Speed of the page loading, sophisticated subdomains usage for static content (images, css), optimized code (html, js), hosting on fast servers with good latency to its audience leads to good results and, ultimately, to a good website profitability.

While conducting tests we emulate a visit your website using the browser Firefox 3.5.6. Test results of the page loading listed in this table:

Ways to improve website performance

Once the document (website's main page) has been downloaded, we analyze it. It allows us to give webmasters some recommendations on how to optimize page load speed. We analyze the internal and external factors.

Reduse DNS Resolve

Browsers must resolve site's hosts to display all of the elements of the Business.com's page. Every domain name resolve requires a time, which precedes the load from a specific domain. You can speed up page loading by reducing the number of hosts, from which elements of the page are loaded.

Try to combine JavaScript files into one file.

This will reduce the time for requests for files and reduce the number of requests to the web server.

Enable GZIP Compression

This is a good practice to give the user content in compressed form. We've detected 1.17 Kb of content that could be compressed. By compressing content you can achieve the size of ~ 0.29 Kb (saving 0.88 Kb). This would accelerate the page loading speed and would positively impact the bandwidth savings in Internap Network Services.

Keep Components under 25K

Users often visit web site using a mobile phone. Even the most modern and advanced gadgets have some limitations. For example an iPhone browser do not cache page components bigger than 25K. So you should strive to ensure that scripts, CSS-styles, etc. are less than 25K.

Alternate text for the images.

As you may already know, search engine that indexes your pages, do not have eyes. And all content you are trying to display on your site is just HTML & CSS code, images, Flash, etc for the robots. It is It's extremely important to describe each of the objects more datailed using ALT, TITLE and other tags.

Our robot has determined that the business.com page has 7 images, which has no tag ALT. Tag ALT is a text field, that specifies an alternate text for an image. But not only. Search engines consider this tag as a supplemental result for assessing the content of your page entirely. Do not ignore it!

For example your page has this code:

142.

<img src="http://img1.cdn.adjuggler.com/banners/Client788239/1278623197180_RealtyPromo3a_468x60.gif" border="0" height="60" width="468">

We recommend you use rich img code in that place:

142.

<img src="http://img1.cdn.adjuggler.com/banners/Client788239/1278623197180_RealtyPromo3a_468x60.gif" border="0" height="60" width="468" alt="search advertising">

P.S. We used keyword for this image that seemed to us most important for your page. But you can go ahead and give to each of 7 images an ALT text. This problem requires responsible approach. No need to put the same text at alt tag of the all images. Imagine that the pictures do not show and try to make sure that users understand what is shown on the picture based on the alt tag

Specify image dimensions

The browser needs to know the actual dimensions of image (width and height) to quickly render webpage.

We have detected that the 2 images has no width and height.

If you do not specify the width and/or height, then in order to correctly display the image browser needs to download it and only then put on the screen. Otherwise, there is a chance browser will display elements under the picture inappropriately as well as the possible presence of "jumping" effect of the page content (until the page load is finished).

We provide below example of how to define the image dimensions:

276.

<img class="authorPhoto" width="IMAGE_WIDTH_HERE" height="IMAGE_HEIGHT_HERE">

Reduce the number of requests to your server by avoiding empty image src attributes

Webmasters may left, intentionally or by mistake, src attribute of the img tag blank. This is bad practice. In this case, the browser (Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome, Firefox 3) makes an unnecessary request to the server. You waste server computing cycles and traffic. And there is the possibility of destroying user data too.

276.

<img class="authorPhoto" src="">

We've detected the first image tag with empty src attribute on 276th line of the document. We've also counted the total number of tags with empty src attribute in the document: 2. We recommend specify src attribute of img tag or remove this tag completely.

Using H1 tag

Try to keep the header H1 not very long. Keep in mind that H1 is the main semantic tag of the page. It's can not be long in most of the cases. There are Array oversized h1 tags. Our bot has dected that the following tag h1 is too long:

37.

<h1><a target="_top" href="http://www.business.com" onclick= "return go2Cat(this.href, '.nav.0', 1, 'FCD74821-285E-41F1-8C1A-3F2C372CA9A9201012294003054_alpha', '', 'http://rd.business.com')"> Business.com</a></h1>

Use the TITLE for A tag

As we have already mentioned, search engine bots can not see the site like a people do it. They more focused on the descriptions of certain page elements. That's why we strongly recommend use TITLE operator in the "A" tag. This operator not only describes the page referenced by the page more detailed, but also takes part in the page describing. For example, you have the link on your website:

37.

<a target="_top" href="http://www.business.com" onclick="return go2Cat(this.href, '.nav.0', 1, 'FCD74821-285E-41F1-8C1A-3F2C372CA9A9201012294003054_alpha', '...">Business.com</a>

We suggest you to remake it in this way:

37.

<a target="_top" href="http://www.business.com" onclick="return go2Cat(this.href, '.nav.0', 1, 'FCD74821-285E-41F1-8C1A-3F2C372CA9A9201012294003054_alpha', '..." title="financial services">Business.com</a>

Of course, you can (and should) use more proper phrase instead of the "financial services" that describes the link http://www.business.com.
