<br>Download speed is probably the biggest complaint among internet users.
Along with ads, speed makes up for 60% of the total complaints. This is
precisely why creating websites optimized for speed is an essential part
of web design.<br><br>There are a couple of root causes behind very slow
web pages. For one, the site could be hosted by a slow server (bad
hosting). These include slow computer performance, slow internet service
providers and bad internet connection. The one thing you can control as a
web designer is "page weight", or the size of a web page. The following
items add to page weight:<br><br>Web and graphic designers often struggle
between the quality of an image placed on a

always an inverse relationship between the two. There are many ways in
which web designers can optimize images for web use.<br><br>Web Design
Tip: Set the image resolution of your images to 72 dots per inch (dpi).
Slicing large images into smaller ones also helps, as well as using the
right image type.<br><br>A lot of web designers make this mistake using
tables for laying out elements of a web page. Tables are meant for
displaying the relationship among sets of data. Web designers shouldn't
use it as an excuse not to learn how to use HTML container elements with
CSS.<br><br>Since tables load fast, a common misconception among web
designers is that by using tables for layout, you can ensure fast download
speeds. This is absolutely not true. To lay out website elements, you
would have to use nested tables. Nested tables load very slowly since
browsers would have to search for the closing tags for the main table and
for each of its nested elements before starting to display them on
screen.<br><br>Web Design Tip: Use tables as they were intended for
handling tabular data, not for layout. Learn how to use CSS-formatted DIV
and SPAN containers instead.<br><br>Flash is undoubtedly flexible, since
it works on all platforms and designers can enjoy freedom in terms of
creativity. Using too much flash for your site is impractical, however,
for two major reasons. First off, Google and search engines cannot "see"
Flash elements and therefore cannot index them. Second, it takes a long
time for them to load, especially if you have a lot of layers and images
inside the Flash document. They may look great but staring at preloaders
too long will only put off your visitors and make them want to leave
faster than you can say "full flash".<br><br>Web Design Tip: Learn how to
optimize Flash elements and use them sparingly. If it can be replaced by
animated GIFs, then use the latter instead.<br><br>Instead of using a
large splash image for the backdrop of your site, try to use a small image
tiled across the screen. Not only will this keep your customers attention
on what's most important your content you can rest assured that your
website is loading fast. This applies to headers and footers as
well.<br><br>Web Design Tip: Instead of using a large header whose
dimensions are 800 by 260 pixels, crop or use only a small part of it
while setting a background fill for the header to match the background of
your image. This should cut down on your header's file size.<br><br>The
more components style sheet files, images, scripts, objects you have on a
web page the more HTTP requests it makes. Remember that 40% to 60% of your
website's visitors come with an empty cache more HTTP requests mean
astoundingly low load speeds for them.<br><br>Web Design Tip: Go with
simplicity and minimalism. Divert most of your effort to creating rich
content for your website instead of turning it into eye candy. Combine
files if you can. For instance, instead of using 3 to 4 separate
stylesheets, merge them to reduce the count to 1 or 2.<br><br>Creating
fast-loading websites is essential in good web design. Just avoid the
common reasons I mentioned above and you'll reap the benefits of loyal
visitors in no time. After all, having slow loading web pages on your site
could cost you more than your customer's time. It just might cost you your
Google ranking.<br>
