How to Improve Your Page Speed for SEO?
                     7 Things  That Can You
Improve Your Page Speed
 For SEO
Introduction
      Apart from how page speed affects search rankings, page speed matters because 
you need to make sure your visitors get the best user experience possible. In fact, it 
is a crucial yet much neglected part of eCommerce web design. Do you know: 
Approximately 80 percent of shoppers say that they simply won’t return to a 
website if it loads too slowly during their first visit! Ultimately, positive user 
experience often leads to better conversions.
Here, I am going share factors that slows down page speed
1. Large images
2. Advertisements
3. Embedded media
4. Outdated apps and plugins 
5. Slow Hosting Service
6. Site Theme
7. Widgets
Large Images
Large images look nicer because of their higher 
resolution. However, it takes a lot of time to load them 
because they may require more data, leading to 
reducing your page speed. Instead of using HD images, 
optimize your images and convert them to PNG or JPEG, 
to maintain their quality, while still being able to reduce 
their weight.
Advertisements
Aside from being a huge factor in slowing down your page 
speed, having too many ads will just annoy your visitors, 
leading them to leave your website. Choose only what is 
necessary and make sure they are all optimized.
Embedded Media
Embedded media usually means images and videos from an 
outside source that you’ve inserted in your page. These things 
may be valuable, but they greatly slow down your page 
speed. Instead, you can choose to include those medias that 
you can host on your server.
 
Outdated Apps & 
Plugins
Make sure to test your website on all browsers, as they don’t 
always load the same way. It is best to avoid plugins that are 
resource-heavy because it may slow down your entire website. 
Adobe Flash is an example of a very common plugin that has 
resulted in negative impacts on many websites.
Slow Hosting Service
If you are running a resource-intensive website and your web host 
cannot keep up with the demand, your site will also experience 
slow and intermittent page loads. They say you get what you pay 
for, so instead of choosing a cheap host that may lead you to 
further problems, choose one that best suits your business needs. 
To improve page speed, you should switch to a different web host 
or upgrade your current web hosting plan.
Site Theme
It is vital to choose the perfect theme or web design that suits 
your brand, but take note that themes with too many effects or 
designs can affect the loading speed of your page. Hence, when 
considering the theme for your website, one should consider the 
performance, and not just aesthetics.
Widgets
Widgets like social media buttons or comments section may be 
helpful and necessary to your website, but they can also make 
your page quite bulky and time-consuming to load. Speed has a 
massive impact on user experience, which would in turn affect 
your site’s SEO as Google expects pages to load in 2 seconds or 
less. So do keep that in mind as a part of your 
website development. Furthermore, it is always recommended to 
analyze your website occasionally to check in with the user 
experience,
