Speedup page load times
Google started the trend, but today all Search Engines are paying attention to page load times when they rank a website.
To a website owner this means that if your page takes longer to load than another website’s page carrying identical ( or almost the same ) page content, Google will serve your page in its SERPs lower than the one whose page loads faster. You could miss being on the first SERP completely
This will have an unpleasant impact on your earnings from that web page. If other pages are available Search Engines SERPs ahead of your page then
their page adverts or their affiliate links are being clicked on. The possibility of earning via PPC on their web page will obviously be higher than yours.
There can be any number of reasons why a website page loads more slowly than others. I’ve written a Hub specifically addressing how multiple images in a web page effects it’s page load time. There is a simple rule of thumb here, the greater the number of images contained in a web page the longer the page will take to load.
If you would like to know what you can do, explained step-by-step why not take a look at my Hub which provides details.
I would be really happy to hear if this information benefited you in anyway. If I can improve my material do leave a comment and tell me how I’d really appreciate the time you took.
If you are using ( or thinking of using ) Open source tools and technologies do take a quick look at my Open source tutorials.
My Introduction To G.U.I Design
Objectives:To understand the basics of User Interface Design
Today computers are a widely used business tool, there are literally millions of computer users. Almost all businesses use computers in some form or another to make them productive and help them succeed in a competitive world.
Computer based, business applications must be designed to fit specific business models. Such applications, definitely bring a measurable return on investment to the business in which they are run. Banking, Accounting, Inventory, Management Information System, Knowledge Management Systems and so on are examples of everyday business applications being run on computers.
All applications can be distilled down to two unique sections. The first section captures information and the second section stores such captured information.
In the business world, there are two types of people those who create business applications and those who use these business applications.
Strangely, it appears that these two types of people come from two totally different worlds. Quite like the catch phrase “Women are from Venus and Men are from Mars”. Yet one cannot do with out the other.
Techies, as the application developers like to call themselves seem to have little or no understanding about people who actually use their applications. They are always of the opinion that whatever they create is just perfect and must be used without compliant. Whereas, users of commercial applications always seem to be cribbing that the application never quite takes their needs into account.
To help bridge this gap I’ve listed a few principles of Graphical User Interface design I’ve used, which seems to have always (more or less) resulted in satisfied ‘Users’. Read more
