How to Make Your Site Load Faster

You might not think it is necessary to have your website load fast. You might think that as long as you have pertinent content available to your targeted user and it’s SEO optimized, your site will pop up on the first few ranking pages of search engines.

This is not true anymore. Google has enhanced its web crawling spiders to not only harvest information about a particular website’s content, but also about loading speed of the pages on that site. This means that even if you have the most relevant product or information matching a user’s query, if your site doesn’t load fast enough, it might not be ranked highly on the search results pages (SERPs)  by Google. Site speed might stop you from getting the visibility you deserve or need to grow your business and remain profitable.

One of the key elements to keep in mind that will make your site load faster is to reduce the number of HTTP requests required to render the page. As much as 80% of the time it takes to load your page is due to the amount of HTTP requests needed to load it the first time the user stumbles on it. This includes requests to load images, Flash, java scripts, style sheets, etc. If your initial landing page takes too long to load, many users will just click the back button instantly, meaning you will lose a potentially valuable client. Google’s spiders have realized this impatience on the part of users; that’s why they may no longer rank some websites high in the search results, despite the fact that it might contain relevant data. Here’s what you can do:

1.       You can compress images a few ways to make them less cumbersome to load. Combine your inline images into your style sheets to effectively reduce the size of your pages and thus reduce the number of HTTP requests. You can also combine multiple images into one image map; the number of HTTP requests will be fewer, but the page size will remain the same. Use CSS Sprites to combine your background …

3 Tips To Make Money With Reseller Hosting

Reseller hosting is a form of web hosting where the account owner can sell their allotted hard drive space and bandwidth to third party customers. In most cases, the reseller will be able to choose desirable packages to sell to their customers for a reasonable profit. The world of reseller hosting can become a simple task as long as the right tools and tricks are acquired for those who are interested. To help you begin your own reseller hosting venture here are a few tips:

Don’t Overestimate Your Client Base

The best way to start out any venture is to start off small. You will not need a whole plethora of computers and internet connections to start your own reseller hosting service, all you need is one PC and your ordinary internet connection. Another thing to remember is that you don’t need to gather an immense amount of intel about technical applications because you will be working within the realm of customer relations more so than web site hosting or development. You do not want to start your venture assuming that you will gather 1,000,000 customers within a month because those unrealistic boundaries can lead to a loss in money and less profit.

Don’t Forget to Market and Promote

Although you may have established a reasonably large clientele there is always room to improve and to expand your client base. Many resellers forget that operating a business under this sector requires constant and dedicated marketing schemes and promotional habits which can cause them to fail. No one is going to sign up for your services if they don’t know that you exist so make sure that you create a professional website for your reseller hosting venture and run an effective ad campaign.

Establish Dedicated Customers

Every venture needs to start somewhere and so to gather your beginning customer base there are a couple of groups of people that you should focus your efforts on. Talk with your family members to sign up with your service, you would be surprised at how beneficial working with family members can be because your …
