Website Optimisation - File Sizes
It is patently obvious that if your webpage takes an age to download
then there is something wrong. This can be caused by a number of
factors:-
- Images too large and or too numerous
- Bad code structure
- Poor hosting services
- Bloated code (as a result of using a non proprietary HTML editor
like 'Word')
Useability studues show that the total download time for a webpage
should take no longer than 8 seconds and that the total of all files
making up that page INCLUDING IMAGES should be no more than 50K.
Whilst this target is not always possible in practice, it is good
practice to aim for this when designing each page.
Whenever Get Online Design are comissioned to create a website,
it is with this filesize in mind that we start each page.
