We are humans and only we can adapt to any kind of change in the technology (This is because only we use the technology and not the animals). The online world has changed the meaning of maintaining connections with each other. With people having social networking sites, they stopped interacting outside, and where businesses are having online websites, people are going less to the store and purchasing.

A web development company will work the best when it comes to developing a website and making it accessible to the audience to use. A website is the window of your business and you can make the audience get a taste of what exactly you offer for them.

But there might be few reasons for the users to leave your webpage without taking any action. Oh, they might have got a better website that is offering for a lesser amount, but even without looking at your price, they might leave sometimes. This is due to the reason of slow load page speed. If your website is just as slow as tortoise, people will leave the page like a rabbit (I meant as fast as a rabbit). So, developing a website properly and setting right the actions which are making the website load slower will give you the best business results.

Let us look at the reasons why your business website is loading slowly.

1. JavaScript issues: These issues are related to the dynamic content that is added to the website. If this JavaScript is not implemented properly, it will make the website to load slowly because the JavaScript takes time to load, interpret and get executed. Stop using multiple API’s and make your website load faster.

2. Flash file: Flash is a tool that adds interactivity to a website, but that can be replaced with HTML5, as this makes the page load faster. Flashy files are usually large in size and eliminating that or reducing the size of the files will significantly make the page load speed faster.

3. Large images: Images are good to look at and we know that these images add on to the attractiveness of the website. But they could be the biggest reason for the page to not load faster. Putting high-quality images on the website, without compressing them can cause the website to load slowly. It will also slow down the opening of the web page.

So, before uploading on the website, make sure to compress the images with a compression tool and look that you don’t block your customer’s from visiting

4. More plugins: Plugins help your website to function and without them, the website looks outdated. You need to use the plugins but only those that are useful, and which are extremely important. If the plugin is not important, then consider removing it. These plugins will make your website run slowly and could be the reason for the users not visiting your site.

5. Hosting: It is the server that your website runs on. Look out for the hosting services that provide the operations privately and not on shared servers. If the server is operating on a shared basis, then the loading time would also be more because of the various number of websites that are hosted on the same server.

The developers will look at all these elements and then make sure to correct each of them, to make the webpage load faster.
