The loading speed of a blog or website has now become one of the important factors to improve the quality of an SEO blog. Evidence of the quality of blog load speed is an important indicator that Google itself founded the AMP or Accelerated Mobile Pages project which was developed by Google itself.
The speed of access or entry into the blog will affect the comfort of visitors or visitors when the internet connection is fast or slow. It is possible that when the internet connection is fast, the blog load slightly affects the convenience of access to the blog.
However, when the internet connection is slow, it is likely to greatly affect the comfort of your blog visitors in the Google search browser or others. There are several cases where the blog is difficult to load, even if it doesn't display anything on the blog, such as pictures, writing, and so on.
If we measure or take into account the loading speed of the blog when accessed using Pagespeed Insight, for a very good speed it is around a score of 90 - 100 and for a pretty good speed the score is around 50 - 89 and a slow blog load speed is around a score of 0 - 49.
So if your blog's log speed during the page speed insight test scores around 70 - 89 it's actually already good, the most important thing is the conditions in the field or the user experience (user experience) to feel that access to your website is fast and doesn't disturb the comfort of blog visitors.
Tips and Tricks to Speed Up Blog or Website Loading Proven Effective
Here are some ways you can do to increase the blog load speed, especially for blogger users (for WordPress users it may differ slightly).
1. Increasing Server or Hosting Specifications
The first step if you have a lot of visitors (maybe above 10,000 visitors), then the first thing for this trick is to increase the hosting specs you are using. Use a server or website hosting that matches the number of your visitors and immediately consult a hosting and domain service provider.
2. Use a CDN (Content Delivery Network)
For those of you who have visitors from abroad such as from the United States, the European Union (Britain, Netherlands, Germany, and others), Japan, South Korea, the Middle East (UAE, Qatar, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and others), then you need an overseas server from the central server that owns the website.
If users access directly from a central server without using a proxy server, it will affect the website access speed, so this will cause your blog or website to load slowly if accessed abroad.
Using a CDN (Content Delivery Network) will increase the website load speed outside the website owner's network. The user only accesses the closest server to access our website.
CDN users for websites are very suitable for visitors from abroad, such as English blog content, English news blog, English tutorial (how to) blog content, and others. Because English is an international language that is widely used in several countries, if you want to have visitors or visitors globally, then you can provide website or blog content in English.
3. Use AMP Themes for Blogs or Websites
For those of you who are creating a new blog or website using blogger, WordPress, Wix, and others, then one way to increase the loading speed of your blog or website is to use an AMP blog theme or template.
The AMP template is proven to be very fast when accessed on an Android or iPhone mobile device because this Google AMP uses a cache that has been accessed in a browser and is stored in cache form. So that when visitors return to visit the website or blog, the browser does not need to download data again.
Not only that, one of Google's AMP advantages is that this AMP provides a Lazyload Image feature, so when you use an AMP theme on your website or blog, you no longer need to install the Lazyload Image script component.
This is the reason why AMP themes are so fast when accessed or loaded on Android and iPhone mobile devices that use the Google Chrome browser.
4. Waiting for Sophisticated and Super Fast Network Technology
These are really silly tips for those of you who are too lazy to optimize your own website or blog. However, I will also write these tips in this article because they are likely to be very influential in the future.
We know that the loading speed of a website or blog is very influential on the internet speed that we use. As internet network users, we are just waiting for fast internet network technology. As for 2021, we are looking forward to the newest and fastest network technology that is already being used in several countries, namely 5G.
It is estimated that 5G will be faster than 4G networks and you know that several countries are also developing 6G networks which are estimated to be the same or faster than 5G. So the reason I wrote this article is that sometimes it is very useful in the future.
So, just wait for the latest network technology for the future to speed up internet access such as applications, games, and access to blogs or websites. However, one of the drawbacks of this trick is that you will be left behind for the "now" if you just wait for the latest, faster, and more efficient network technologies.
5. Use a Fast Load and Responsive Non-AMP Blog Template or Theme
If you don't like the Google AMP theme, because of several things bloggers complain about, namely using the Google AMP template is very difficult, especially for users of the blogger.com platform.
So you can look for other alternatives, namely using a non-AMP blog template that supports the fast loading feature when accessed and is responsive when used by users or blog visitors. There are many websites that provide free and paid downloads of non-AMP blog templates (premium license) in Google searches.
If you want to use a blog template made by Indonesians, then I can recommend sugeng web, igniel, magic company, and others. They provide blog themes with good designs and support SEO Friendly.
This method is perfect for beginners who have just started blogging as a hobby or to make money blogging online. So this is perfect for those of you who don't understand coding HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, and others.
6. Use Widgets As Necessary
Too many blog widgets also affect the loading speed of the blog to be slow or slow, so use enough widgets to lighten the load on websites that are loaded by visitors or visitors.
For the widget on the right, you might just use a general one, such as for the latest posts, posts that are popular or frequently visited by visitors, and also advertisements. So use a maximum of 2 widgets for a new blog or website.
7. Image Compress (Image Compress)
For those of you who create blogs with tutorial content, there will be times when you need lots of pictures and photos for the article content you create. If you have more images then this will slow down a load of your website because the browser will load the images in it.
If you really need these images, what you can do to not burden your blog's load is by compressing or reducing the size of the image you are using.
Compress images sufficiently and don't overdo it so that the quality of the blog remains good and the images don't blur or break. Use PNG, JPG or JPEG, and WEBP image formats. To improve the SEO of a blog or website, it is recommended to use the WEBP format.
This is information about tips and tricks to improve or speed up blog loading which has proven to be effective for novice bloggers who have just started creating blogs and article content that do not understand coding HTML, CSS, JS (Javascript), PHP, and others.
Hope this information helps you.
