I don’t normally check my webmaster tools section that often as we have so many sites but I decided to take a quick look at our link building site and see if there was any errors. I was quite surprised to see that in googles performance section it says that this site loads up in 1.4 seconds and is faster than 82% of sites indexed by google.
I knew the sites performance was good as I spent several days optimizing the site and the server and over time the load speed started to drop slowly. It looks like it has now stabilized at 1.4 seconds which is pretty good considering the widgets and plugins that this site uses. Without the floating widget on the left hand side, the social bookmarking section under each post and the paypal button displayed on every page this site would load up much faster. Also if I took out the google analytics code from the footer the site would load even faster but the analytics part wont make that much of a difference probably 0.2 seconds.
At some point next week I will strip this site back to its bare minimum i.e taking out the un-needed widgets which are there only for the users benefit (well if I’m honest its for our benefit as well). For example if you have a business twitter account then you need to make it as easy as possible for potential subscribers to find it, that’s why we have the floating button on the left hand side. If you own a business then its a good idea to create a twitter account as well as a facebook account as every bit of traffic helps.
Remeber if you need any relevant links built for traffic and seo purposes then feel free to browse our site as thats what we specialise in.
