10 Proven Ways to Speed Up Your Website in 2024

A 1-second delay in page load reduces conversions by 7%. Google uses page speed as a ranking factor. Here are 10 proven optimization techniques.

1. Optimize Images Use WebP format (30% smaller than JPEG). Lazy load below-the-fold images. Use CDN for delivery.

2. Enable Compression Gzip or Brotli compression reduces transfer size by 60-80%.

3. Minimize JavaScript Remove unused code with tree shaking. Split code by route. Defer non-critical scripts.

4. Use a CDN Serve static assets from edge locations worldwide. Reduces latency by 50-70%.

5. Optimize Fonts Use font-display swap. Subset fonts. Self-host instead of Google Fonts.

6. Reduce Server Response Time Use caching (Redis). Optimize database queries. Choose hosting close to users.

7. Minimize CSS Purge unused CSS. Inline critical CSS. Defer non-critical stylesheets.

8. Enable Browser Caching Set proper cache headers. Static assets should have long cache expiry.

9. Reduce HTTP Requests Combine files. Use CSS sprites. Inline small SVGs.

10. Use Static Generation Pre-render pages at build time. SSG is the fastest delivery method.
