15 Quick Ways to Shrink Page Load Times
-
Faster pages make a better user experience.
-
Here are some great methods and tools to ensure your site is running quickly and smoothly.
-
1. A basic site analyzer
-
Web Page Analyzer to check for general errors and seeing the “health” of my site in terms of load times. The analyzer shows tons of information about how many scripts you have, total file size, and many other things that factor into load time.
-
2. Pingdom
-
Pingdom is a nifty site that allows you to check for broken images and paths, as well as loading time for all of your images and scripts. Broken paths and images can be a major load time killer.
-
3. Host files locally
-
While this may take a bit more bandwidth for your servers, you’ll gain a lot of speed by not having to go out into the web to find the image. Instead of using services like Flickr to host your images, put them on your own server and save the time spent for the browser to travel to flickr.com and download the image. Local files almost always load faster than external files
-
4. Use image heights and widths
-
Here’s a sample of a correctly tagged image with height and width tags:
<img src="images/mine.gif" border="0" alt="my image" width=”125″ height=”250″ />Adding width and height tags to images can make a huge difference when the web browser loads the page. If the browser knows the width and height, it can go right on past the image and let it load in the background while it renders the rest of the page. If an image doesn’t have these tags, the browser has to wait until the image loads before it can go on loading the rest of the page.
-
5. Reduce widgets
-
6. Use static caching
-
Taking pages written in dynamic languages like php and turning the result into a static web page. Web servers are incredibly good at serving static files. By turning your dynamic pages into static pages, you’ll reduce load on your server and greatly improve page loading times.
-
7. Accelerators
-
8. Firebug
-
Firebug is a Firefox extension that offers tons of reporting tools for a Web site, right inside the browser frame.
-
9. CSS shrinker
-
- white spaces
- line breaks
- remove unnecessary charachters
Smaller external scripts like javascript and CSS can make a big difference in load times. Try using online services like CSS clean to take your CSS source and strip things like
-
10. Server from multiple domains
-
If you’re serving a lot of web objects on a page, it might be a good idea to utilize multiple domains for serving the content, like server.example.com, server2.example.com, etc. You can only have a limited number of connections sent to the web browser at a time. By using multiple domains (even if they’re using the same IP address) you can download objects at the same time, where on a single server you’d have to load one at a time.
-
11. Cut back on cookies
-
Extra cookies that are set on the user’s browser adds time to each page load. Make sure that you’re only using the smallest possible number of cookies, and also try optimizing cookie usage
-
12. Use a different domain for cookie-free resources
-
13. Shrink your javascript
-
Using services like Dean Edward’s packer can strip out unwanted line breaks, characters, and other redundant code in your javascript files.
-
14. Combine javascript files
-
As a general rule, downloading lots of small scripts takes longer than downloading one large script. If you can combine your javascripts into one large file, you’ll see faster download times. The easiest way to do this (without using programming knowledge) is to physically open your javascript files and copy and paste all of the javascript into one file. However, this isn’t always the easiest option, so here are a few resources that show how you can merge javascript files dynamically.
-
15. Use a content delivery network
-
CDNs allow you to use servers from around the world, depending on where the user is from.

Why Should I Hire You? How To Answer Interview Questions
-
The easy answer is that you are the best person for the job -- but the employer is looking for more than that. They usually want you to provide a detailed explanation of your basic skills, and how you plan to apply them to the position for the benefit of the company. They want you to do it without hesitating or grasping for words, and they want it to make sense. In other words, you have to know exactly what you are going to say in advance.
-
Why are you the best person for the job? What qualities do you have that will be the most useful in this position? Come up with a few beforehand, and write them down.
-
your answer should not only be based upon the skills you have to offer, but should also be based on the research you have done on the company. Sincerity is extremely important, and is easily sensed. Relate your answer to the company's goals as well as your own.

How to Answer the "Tell Me About Yourself" Interview Question
-
this question often serves as a conversation starter. The information you choose to reveal about yourself gives your interviewer a sense of what kind of person you are, and hence, what kind of employee you'd be.
The best way to answer this question is to stick to business: talk about your past career, things you've accomplished, and what made you decide to apply for this position. Include details about skills you have that directly relate to the job you are applying for.
-
- Introduce yourself
- Tell what your current status is (i.e. last job title or student status)
- Describe what you do at work or school
- Describe one or two things you've accomplished or excel at that directly relate to the position
- Mention why you decided to apply for this position
A good format to use is as follows:
-
Using this format, you can tell your interviewer about your best skills, your recent accomplishments, and why you're applying, in a way that sounds organized and logical.
You can also use this question as a way to match your goals to their needs.
-
And knowing the company's goals comes from researching the company, which is why research is such an important step.

Seeding Tips & Tricks for Specific Private Trackers
-
maintaining a good sharing ratio on your private trackers is crucial to keeping the account. Period. However, no tracker is alike - we’d like to break this down a little further and delve into the seeding secrets behind individual trackers.
-
This is anything but an exhaustive list of private trackers and their respective ’seeding’ tips. We’ve purposely omitted the ‘easier’ ones such as Libble, STMusic, Torrent-Damage, etc. (due to high availability and user count) whereby even if your account becomes disabled, you’ll probably be able to sign up for another one (or find another invite quite rapidly). For that, most low-level trackers are not included in the list.
