Why speed up your website?

In the first place you should have your users in mind: especially in mobile surfing you may loose visitors if your pages take too long to render. With a fast site you increase usability.

Besides that benefit, your website's page speed is one of the many criteria search engines take into account for ranking. So an optimized website may get a better position in search engine result pages (SERPs) and win more visitors this way.

Both may lead to higher conversions and increases your website's success.

 

How to speed up your website?

There are many options and factors that influence the pagespeed:

• Configure Joomla! itself well. For example: disable unused plugins, enable server side caching, ...
• Keep your installation up to date as updates often include optimizations of code.
• Optimize CSS, JavaScript and HTML code and enable caching and compression in your .htaccess file.
• Host your site on a server that performs well
• Use PHP 7
• Optimize image loading
• Optimize images where possible, that is to
  • resize images to the actual size needed
  • compress them (i.e. using jpeg-recompress)
  • use modern formats like Google's WebP image format

With Aimy Speed Optimization code optimizations, caching and compression as well as image loading can be activated within a few minutes to increase page speed easily.
