Dynamic of the Latency Changes for the website from various locations.

Why the low latency is important with this site as an example

To display this website browser needs to download 19 objects. Though modern browsers use parallel connection now, we'll simplify the conditions and calculate the time spent by the browser for these sites in a single-threaded mode. Time required to establish HTTP connection only: + preparation of the webserver response. Number 3 in the formula is a three phase of a TCP connection: sending a SYN request from the client to the server, sending ASK + SYN from the server to the client and the ASK sending from the client to the server. Though we can not calculate the time for a webserver response, the total time for sending and receiving requests for each of the object will be: Of course, modern browsers use several simultaneous connections to download content from a domain (from 2 to 8 at the time of writing this document). And in some browsers the number of connections can be set manually (Opera). Sure, making such calculations must always take into account the audience site, and always make an accent on the fact that the server should always be so geographically closer to the primary audience as it possible. Also we recommend to pay attention to an article about importance of the latency on our site.

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 Quackit.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.

Combine Small Images Into One

To display a page, a browser needs to load a lot of small images. Try to combine images into one and display them via CSS. This technology is called 'CSS Sprites'. It helps you reduce the number of requests to the web server, which in turn also requires time and bandwidth. For more details about this technology read our manual.

Enable GZIP Compression

This is a good practice to give the user content in compressed form. We've detected 25.45 Kb of content that could be compressed. By compressing content you can achieve the size of ~ 6.36 Kb (saving 19.09 Kb). This would accelerate the page loading speed and would positively impact the bandwidth savings in Hostventures.com.

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:

47.

<a href="/" target="_top"><img src="/pix/quackit_logo.gif" alt="Quackit Logo" border="0" height="52" width="210"></a>

We suggest you to remake it in this way:

47.

<a href="/" target="_top" title="create a website"><img src="/pix/quackit_logo.gif" alt="Quackit Logo" border="0" height="52" width="210"></a>

Of course, you can (and should) use more proper phrase instead of the "create a website" that describes the link /.
