In April last year, Google has declared openly as the speed of a site is one of the determining factors in SERP (Search Engine Result Pages) and then in the SEO process performance of our site must be kept well monitored.
A few months ago I published a post that listed a series of tools to analyze in detail every single part of a website, using these tools and see how you can bring a maximum performance.
With all the tools available on the internet and easy to control the speed of a site and … Alas, most of us nine times out of ten discovers that their site and painfully slow.
We begin to see what could be the main causes of these delays ....
The easiest answer would be:
I open the browser and typing the URL if the page loads means and if it doesn't load anything on the site and Jun!
This method may work for testing the UpTime for a server but I should be willing to stay 24 hours x 7 days a week pressing refresh every second.
To see if the site in question at some point no longer reachable using that method and the online service Pingdom with graphs and tables show me the times of inactivity and sends me an email as soon as my site goes to some DownTime (also available in the app on iTunes).
You may think about an upgrade to your hosting plan (your site might be on a server shared with decrepit or hundreds of others) by switching to a VPS or a dedicated server you may solve the problem.Change hosting. Some hosting providers do not provide quality services and then search for a hosting service that places the highest priority on quality and support!
If you're going to change you recommend Hostgator hosting that and one of the best web hosting services on the planet.
But how long it puts ' I am the site to load a page?
The speed of loading pages in a site and as important as SEO and PageRank and some studies show that the majority of potential visitors of a site are not more than 6 seconds before giving up waiting for loading a page in the browser.
If the pages on your site takes more than 5 or 6 seconds before being displayed you are definitely losing the majority of visitors.
This means that your site has serious problems that must be absolutely correct. You must find the reason why the entire site or a page in particular and slow to the point you miss indexing and visitors: some Javascript, little images, flash objects and optimized too many useless widgets can weigh down or slow down very much a site to make it unusable.
