#695: Site Speed: How to Increase Your Website Speed for SEO Episode 2

The WordPress plugin WP Smush.it can help you efficiently compress the size and load times of all your images. Your homepage should be optimized for SEO as it's your most important site page. Maximize your layout and content on your homepage for speed. Get rid of pingbacks and trackbacks to preserve your backlinks.

Eliminate unused post drafts to reduce the amount of data on your site. Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to improve your site's load times. CDNs allow you to put your content on closer servers to maximize user download speeds. Use static HTML instead of PHP when possible to cut down on server-side load times for your site. Lazy loading allows the browser to only paint elements within the view of the user.

Third-party tools such as cookie trackers and popups can significantly slow down a site's load speed. Every site is unique. What's considered "fast" for one type of site may not be fast for another type. Don't make your site fast compared to the rest of the world, make it fast for the type of website you're trying to promote.
