Use CSS In
Do Not Use
Use CSS In <head>
Usually webmasters do write their CSS in
<head>
but sometimes we use <style>
tag to add style in <body>
but,it is advised to use CSS in <head>
only.After all it is suggested by Google though.Use Light Images
Images are one of the way to express the message but,sometimes it size is somehow a little bit bigger because of that it takes time to load.It is suggested to use small size or light weight images to upload and do use
alt
attribute in images ,it is useful in SEO.Minify Javascript
Javascript is one of the heavy script it is suggested to use a light weight script and try to use less amount because it increases the loading time and can directly effect to your traffic.
Do Not Use @import
In CSS
@import is a method to import outsource style sheets in CSS part but,it do increase page loading time and it is suggested by Google to not use this method for style portion.
Minimize The Use Of Google Fonts
The fonts available on Google fonts are not officially hosted by Google,they are uploaded by users and every font have its own ability to increase a page time.If you use the fonts then try to add those fonts which takes less time.Every font shows a speed meter from that you could see that how much a font can take time.
Use Of Efficient CSS Selectors
Efficient
CSS
selectors could be a class
or id
,do not use universal selectors.It may increases the loading time.E.g of Universal selectors (incorrect)
body ul li a{color:#000}
E.g of id and class selectors (correct)
.class11 .class22{color:#000}
Specify Image Size
If you uploaded a image of 100px by 100px and make it 50px by 50px in
<img>
tag or using width
and height
in CSS
will decrease your loading time.If there is any situation like that then simply use any editor to make it work properly.Use Standard CSS and Javascript properties
We sometimes use
style
in HTML
tags for e.g<div style="color:#fff;background:#000;">example</div>
It is a incorrect mannor to use
CSS
,same goes to Javascript
.Here is an examplep { width: expression( document.body.clientWidth > 600 ? "600px" : "auto" ); }
These mistakes decreases your page loading time and may effect your visitors,therefore use standard way to do it.
