1. Un-optimized Images
A large volume of images is the most common reason your website to load slowly. High-resolution images consumes lots of bandwidth as well while loading your site. Uploading larger sized images and then scaling them down can unnecessarily increase the overall size of your web page making it to load slowly.
2. JavaScript Issues
Javascripts jQuery plugins has been a convenient tool for transforming basic static websites into dynamic websites. However, if implemented incorrectly, JavaScript can cripple your website's page load speed.
3. Excessive HTTP Requests
Having loads of JavaScript, CSS, and image files can lead to too many HTTP requests. When a user visits your web page, the browser performs several requests to load each of these files – which can significantly reduce the page load speed.
4. Caching
Caching is known to improve the performance of websites by leaps and bounds. If you’re not caching, you’re missing out. It’s a technique that let’s you store frequently used data points in the ‘cached memory’.
5. Unclean Code
Another common reason for website slowness is unclean coding. When you make your website, excessive white spaces, inline stylings, empty new lines and unnecessary comments can make the website stylesheet grow larger in size.
6. Not Using gZIP Compression
By enabling gZIP compression, you instruct the server to wrap all the web objects (images, CSS, JavaScript files etc) in a single container before they are sent over to the requesting browser.
7. Not Using a CDN Service
A CDN service is a distributed network of independent servers deployed in different geographic locations, that can serve web content to visitors with high availability and high performance.
8. Slow Hosting
Your web hosting service provider makes a huge difference when it comes to website performance. Yes, your slower-than-average page load speed may not be entirely your own fault. Need great hosting? Try these guys for your VPS, Dedicated Server, or Cloud options!
9. Database Issues
A brand new website will run wonderfully quickly, but as it gets older, it will begin to slow down, taking longer to load. The reason for this is linked to the database, as the more information saved to your database and the more complex your site is, the more likely that the database will not run as effectively as when the site was first launched.
10. CSS Isn’t Optimized
Like JavaScript, your site’s CSS — the code responsible for styling its pages — can delay loading if left un-optimized.
