Web design
• Design of the web page - number of graphics and their size, use of frames and tables
• Size of the web page - overall length of page.
• Having valid, compliant html/css coding on your website will allow your browser to
render the page much more quickly
Your browsing history
- Whether or not you have ever accessed the site before. If you have accessed it recently, the
files may be in your cache and the site will load more quickly the second and subsequent
times.
- How full your web browser cache is - you may need to clear your cache if you've set it to
only reserve a small amount of space.
Your computer configuration and settings
- How much memory you have in your computer - the more RAM the better.
- The size of your network buffer - most overlooked setting, have your IT staff review the
settings.
- How fragmented the data on your hard drive is - you may need to run a defrag program.
- The number of programs you have running simultaneously while downloading. Running
multiple programs hogs valuable RAM space.
- Cookies should be cleared regularly (bi-weekly or monthly) to help reduce the load on
your browser thus slowing down your performance.
The network used to access the site
i) Speed of your connection to the Internet - your modem/cable/DSL/wireless speed.
ii) Quality of your telephone/broadband line - bad connections mean slower
transmissions..
iii) Access speed on the server where the site is hosted - if the site is hosted on a busy
server, it may slow down access speed.
iv) Plow much traffic there is to the site at the same time you are trying to access it.
v) The load on the overall network at your ISP - how busy it is.
