A little thing to note about designing web pages is that (like everything else we’ve discussed) the’re a few elements to keep note of. Which is that each web page consists of code and what you should and shouldn’t put in it.
Minimize http requests
According to: https://www.impactbnd.com/blog/the-importance-of-website-load-time, there are five ways to improve your web loading time.
- Combining css/js files. Rather than just making your browser retrieve multiple files try combining your files into one larger file. This might seem tricky but it’s necessary for effective load times.
- Only load what’s necessary. Self explanatory, don’t load what isn’t necessary.
That’s basically all you need for that.
Media to use
For web designing you need to know what type of media you are putting in.
- JPEG:A jpeg is an image on a site. Though it’s more compressed so some of the data is lost. Which is good for reducing the load on your web pages.
- PNG: Also images on the internet but unlike JPEGs they don’t lose their data, and dont lose transparency. However they are still bigger than JPEGs in data do they might still take a toll on websites.
- GIF: A GIF (NOT PRONOUNCED JIFF) is an animated media like a little video. These take up more space because they are made of multiple frames, so therefore are made of more data.
You can use either of these for your web sites depending on what you want to do with it, so long as you know how much your site can take.
I may not know what exactly it is that you’re trying to do, but what I can say for certain is that if you want to make a more responsive site, then it is best to keep the data down to a minimum to reduce the workload. I do encourage making your site reach its fullest potential but that’s about it, “It’s fullest potential” might be the only thing that can do you good.
Now get to it. CHOP CHOP.
