Tips to improve your website's performance

Hacker News - Sat, 11/02/2024 - 3:07pm

At the beginning of my career I always had trouble keeping my sites performing well, so I did some research that led me to good results that I want to share with you here. Here are some tips for improving your site's performance:

1. Image Optimization: Reduce the size of image files so that the site loads faster. Use optimized image formats, such as JPEG or WebP, and consider using image compression tools.

2. Cache de Navegador: Set up appropriate cache headers so that browsers cache static resources such as images, CSS and JavaScript. This will reduce loading times on subsequent visits to your site.

3. CSS and JavaScript minification: Remove whitespace, comments and other unnecessary characters from your CSS and JavaScript code to reduce its size, making it load faster.

4. GZIP compression: Enable GZIP compression on the server to reduce the size of files transferred between the server and the user's browser.

5. CDN (Content Delivery Network): Use a CDN to distribute static content to servers around the world, ensuring fast loading times for users in different geographical regions.

6. Minimize HTTP requests: Reduce the number of HTTP requests needed to load a page by combining CSS and JavaScript files whenever possible and using image sprites to reduce image requests.

7. Responsiveness: Make sure your site is responsive and adapts to different screen sizes, ensuring a good user experience on mobile devices and desktops.

8. Asynchronous Resource Loading: Load non-essential resources, such as social media widgets or analysis scripts, asynchronously so that they don't impede the initial page load.

9. Performance Monitoring: Use performance monitoring tools such as Google PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix to identify areas for improvement and track your site's performance over time.

10. Quality Hosting: Choose a reliable, high-quality hosting provider to ensure that your site has a good response speed and uptime.

Please mention in the comments any other techniques you've used that haven't been mentioned for good performance.
