Website Performance Optimization Strategy
1. Browser Caching Concept
- What it does: Stores static files locally on visitor’s device
- How it works:
- First visit: Browser downloads all files
- Subsequent visits: Uses locally stored files instead of re-downloading
- Files to cache: Images, CSS, JavaScript, fonts
- Benefits: Faster page loads for returning visitors
2. Gzip Compression
- Purpose: Reduces file sizes during transfer
- How it works: Compresses text-based files before sending to browser
- Files affected: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, XML files
- Result: Smaller download sizes = faster loading
3. Google PageSpeed Insights Analysis
- What it checks:
- Loading speed on mobile and desktop
- Core Web Vitals (Largest Contentful Paint, First Input Delay, Cumulative Layout Shift)
- Opportunities for improvement
- Diagnostics for issues
4. Implementation Approach
- Configure server caching rules
- Enable compression on web server
- Test current speed baseline
- Implement optimizations
- Re-test and measure improvements
5. Expected Outcomes
- Faster page load times
- Better user experience
- Improved SEO rankings
- Reduced server load
