One thing that you have to ask yourself is how fast does your blog/site load? Before you answer that, though, bear in mind that you need a good quality answer and not some vague answer. If I say to you, “Hey your site is too slow! I’ll never go there again!”, you need to ask me back “How slow? What’s your connection speed? Does this happen every time? Are you downloading porn or anything when you browsed to my site? What browser are you using?”.
Those are only a few types of questions that you can ask back. However, you should listen to your readers. Especially if there was more than one person saying the same thing.
I’ve found a site where you can check how long do your site load and some information of the files responsible for it (the size and loading time).
There is only one site that I recommend:
http://tools.pingdom.com/
It’s quite useful and I certainly encourage you to try it. The loading time may not be accurate, but you can certainly see which files are responsible in slowing your site down.
If you’ve been optimizing your site for designs, advertisement placements, and pretty pictures, stop! Before you go any further, analyze your site carefully first. You may have a great design, but if it takes 2 minutes to load, who will bother?
This post is not just for you, but directed to me as well. It’s a reminder for me to do the house keeping correctly! What’s an acceptable loading time for the site, then, you ask? I honestly don’t know. It all depends on how far you want to go, I guess.
