Easy Ways Of Speeding Up Your Website Instantly

 


Many clients wonder why their website is slow and why it gets slower every couple of months. We often assist clients in determining issues with their website and sometimes even need to convince them that it is not related to their hosting service. It's like having a great car but a lousy chauffeur. No matter how good the car maybe and how fast it could go, if the chauffeur is not competent, the high-end car is worthless. In the same way, no matter how fast your hosting server is, if you do not have a well coded and well designed website, your website is bound to open with a crawl. This article helps draw the attention of website owners to the various things that can be done to speed up their website to make it more SEO friendly.

Clean Code

The most important thing you need to do to improve your website's load time is the clean and simple programming. There are some programmers who can obtain special effects on a page with 50 lines of code. There are better programmers who can achieve the same thing in 20 lines of code. This is dependent on the skills and experience of the programmer and the logical thought process. Even Search Engines want to serve up clean and quick content to their website visitors. They don't want to inflict upon their visitors a slow and cluttered website. The short solution is to Keep It Simple.

Onsite resources

When linking to images or other media that we like from an external website, we often prefer to load the image or music or video by embedding the other persons link in our own page. This is also known as hot-linking. Earlier, some webmasters used to do this to save on their own websites bandwidth usage by causing the image to load from another person's website and using up their bandwidth.

CDN and Content Caching

A CDN is a content distribution network, which distributes a mirror copy of your website across their global network of servers. When a visitor requests a page from your website, instead of contacting your web hosting server, it contacts the server closest to the visitor, which has a mirror copy of the website. This greatly reduces the time taken to access the page and serves up the content at lightning speed. From time to time, the cache of your website, which is mirrored on the CDN servers is updated. This means that any changes that you make on your website will not be updated across the CDN instantly and your visitors will see a delay in the fresh content. However, you may choose to cache only the static parts of your website which do not change very often, but the dynamic parts of the website can be called from your web hosting server directly.

You can also use page caching techniques to make your pages load faster by creating a temporary storage of the content on the users computer. This may cause a delay in displaying fresh content, but you can tweak the cache to only store the static pages to serve up faster.

Minimize Plugins and Frills

A major cause of your website slowing down is 3rd party plugins. We all want to connect with our audience on social media, but you should avoid using third party plugins for social networking. Some of these plugins pull statistics and display information from the plugin creator's website, which may lead your website to become slow. While your page loads, the information is constantly requested from the plugin makers website, which causes your page to remain waiting till the data is transferred from there. A slow plugin may cause your visitors to see the page loading indication in their browser and may also cause other parts of your page or other plugins to remain in the queue. This can drastically reduce the speed of your website pages. To avoid this situation, it is best to remove slow plugins and constantly monitor the page load speed accordingly.

Compression

Some compression tools which are inbuilt on your web server allow you to compress each request before sending it to your visitor's computer. When a visitor requests a webpage from your website, the server will zip up the page content and send the compressed information to the users browser. The visitors browser will then decompress the data and unzip the file for display. This reduces the size of the data being transferred, leading to a reduction in speed and also a reduction in data transfer usage. Compression takes up a bit of processing power on the visitor's machine and on the server, but the CPU usage is so negligible that it is worth the resources to increase the speed of the website loading.

7 Secrets of Multi-Millionaires

 




Do you want a million dollars? Have you ever had a million dollars of cold, liquid, hard cash? Let's face it, a million dollars won't get you as far today as it used to. Fidelity Investments recently did a survey of multi-millionaires and found the following 7 secrets to be true.

1- Secret No. 1 is that you first have to decide that you want to be a self-made multi-millionaire.  To be financially free you must make a decision to be so.  This is a decision that only you can make for yourself.  No one else can make this decision for you.  Don't worry about figuring out the 'HOW TO' make the millions at this point.  You simply make a decision first.    Decisions come first, then the answers.  Not the other way around.  Once you make your firm decision to be a multi-millionaire, then the answers will come.

This decision should be a firm, unshakeable one that does not allow turning back when you face obstacles.    Not a hope, or wish, or affirmation, but a firm stick-to-it decision.

2- Secret No. 2 is to rid yourself of poverty thinking.  If you come from a not so well off, or poor background, this may be a lot more difficult for you than others.  Think about this for a second.  There is no shortage of money on this planet.  Only a shortage of people who feel they are not entitled to abundance or wealth.  Real wealth and abundance is not created from an attitude of lack, or not enough to go around.  You do have a choice in your thinking.  If you want multi-millions, then let go of the lack  mentality.

Poverty thinking comes from a lower income attitude, where fear runs your life.  Keep in mind that the FEAR is simply a made-up story based on a past experience.  We take this made-up story based on a past experience and project it into the future with the anticipation of it happening again.  This poverty mindset has got to be changed.  Your mind will drive you toward whatever it is you focus on.  So if you focus on lack, you will get more lack.

There is no shortage of opportunity in this country, only a shortage of vision.  Your attitude about money can be different from where you are currently regarding your finances.

Your thinking must change first, then the money will find a way to you.  It does not happen the other way around.  The thinking like a multi-millionaire always comes first.

3- Secret No. 3 is to treat having money like a duty.  Multi-millionaires not only have a desire for wealth but also to contribute to other people's lives.  They have a desire to contribute to the marketplace as a whole.  They see the difference they can make to the families, to the community and to charities.

4- Secret No. 4 is to surround yourself with mega-millionaires.  The old saying that your income approximates the 'average of your 5 closest friends' holds true.  After all, you can't learn very much from someone who doesn't have much.  If you desire to be wealthy, then learn from the already wealthy and follow their example.  What do they read?  How do they think?  How do they invest?  What drives them?  How do they stay motivated and excited?

5- Secret No. 5 is to work like a mega-millionaire.  Rich people treat time differently than poor people.  Rich people buy time.  Poor people sell time, or even worse, they give it away.  To the wealthy, time is more valuable than money.  You can always make more money, but you can't make more time.

Would a mega-millionaire hire a $20 per hour housekeeper, or do the work themselves?  They value their time much more than $20 per hour.  They would hire someone to do that work while they are making millions with their time.

6- Secret No. 6 is to shift your focus from spending to investing.  The rich understand that tax laws favor investing over spending.  When you invest, you are loading your guns for future profits with substantial tax advantages.  For example, your home business write-off, your vehicle used in your business, your rental property that produces income,  to name a few.  When you spend, that money is gone forever.

7- Secret No. 7 is to create multiple streams of income.  The rich never depend on one flow of income.  Why?  What would happen if that flow of income dried up?  You wouldn't be able to maintain.  Creating multiple revenue streams can be tricky however.  You must be careful not to lose focus by creating several streams all at once.  Give undivided attention to one stream of income and once that is successful, then look for another.

Affiliate Marketing Guide, Endless Opportunities Await You!

 


Affiliate programs make use of the huge online market to create some extra cash, which is always welcome in these hard times. However, if you're just starting a site or your site isn't making much profit, you might not know what to do. This blog consists of useful tips and tricks to substantially increase profits.

One way to increase revenue from your own affiliate products is to incorporate them into the email communication that you have with faithful customers. If you send out regular newsletters or special offers via email, include a link to your affiliates' products. This is an unobtrusive way to increase the exposure your affiliates get to your customers and thus your potential profits.

Don't expect immediate results. While some products will immediately start bringing in sales, others take time. Your return readers will help to build your sales gradually and this in turn, brings you the money from the company you work for. This isn't an instant turn around, but patience will help it pay off in the end.

Be serious as well as enthusiastic. People need to know that you genuinely love what you're doing, and they're curious about the reason why these products you're encouraging to sell are beneficial to you. Should you demonstrate to them that you're genuinely enthusiastic about a product, they may be much more likely to take an interest in it themselves.

Consider the tracking software that an affiliate company uses on their site. If the tracking software is unreliable, there is a good chance that you will not be credited for purchases that are made. Be sure that they track the phone, fax, and regular mail to be sure you are credited for all orders you send their way.

The most important thing you can do to achieve success in affiliate marketing is choose the right product. There are certainly a great deal of fake home loan scams and acai berries health supplements to lose weight on the market, however , associating yourself with products which have this sort of bad reputation will undoubtedly harm your own reputation, reducing sales in the future.

Look for "hot pages" that generate an unusual amount of traffic relative to the content on your site, and customize your affiliate pitch for those pages. A wide variety of affiliate marketers promote their products much the same way on all web pages of their website but, adding affiliate links more tightly in to a great article may increase sales a lot more than focusing on a site-wide marketing and advertising plan.

Be proactive while you are writing your article. Use lots of keywords and phrases that the vast majority of people will use to search for that subject matter. Using these keywords will increase the chances that it will come up in search engine results, which is where most people go to find their information.

As was mentioned before in the article, affiliate programs can be a very nice source of income. However, if you're lazy and uninterested in making your site attractive to your audience, your site will surely fail. You need to put in your time and effort if you want to see any rewards.

Why Nothing Has Happened With Your Home Based Business Ideas

 





Do you feel that you're always on the look out for home based business ideas but you never go further than just looking? Sometimes it just can seem easier to stay in your comfort zone. Our comfort zone is our living, work, and social environments that we have grown accustom too. It determines a lifestyle we accept or reject.

Remaining in your comfort zone means that you may miss the opportunity on the  the fastest growing business medium ever - the internet. New home based business ideas show up every single day in the world of online business. Are you prepared to miss out?

Step Out Of Your Comfort Zone.

If you don't go outside of your comfort zone, you'll never start a home based business. All business owners are anxious before they start a new venture. It was no easier for them than it is for you. A new business takes time, education and commitment.

Your development as a person grows every time you move a little away from your comfort zone. Consequently, your comfort zone increases which makes it easier to push yourself to new limits.

Know What You Want To Achieve.

By way of example, one of the benefits of an online home based business is checking your computer each morning and finding that you have been making sales and generating income on autopilot throughout the night. Other advantages are that you do not have to answer to a boss or work for anybody else, you can take time off and holidays when ever you want and your profits are directly associated to how much, or how little, work you do. You have to clearly visualize all of these things.

Of course, you also have to accept the possible challenges that may come along. There will be falls on tour online business journey and from time to time not everything will happen as you have wanted. But use these as lessons to help you go forward, rather than drive you back. The key to improving and expanding your comfort zone is to increase your self-image and level to what you want, then find opportunity to make the objective a reality.

When our subconscious accepts what we are visualizing it will work to make it a reality. If you stay to your comfort zone, to what you know, without ever changing, you cannot assume your life and home based business ideas will just happen. Keep in mind, that whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

People from all walks of life have been able to start their own home based business thank to the internet. You don't have to be a computer wizard to set up your own business online. Here are 5 good reasons why an online business is the best home business to start in 2021.

1. Growing Market Of Potential Customers.

The rise of smartphones and better connectivity has enabled people to browse online when ever they want and they could be buying from your online home based business.

Ambitious entrepreneurs have often been restricted by the high costs of starting a traditional offline business.

Entrepreneurship - Ways To Achieve Success In Your Personal Endeavor

 



I am not convinced when people say successful entrepreneurs are only those who are bristling with innovative ideas and usually 'think out of the box' (to use a cliché).

I do not discount the fact that lateral thinking has led to some great accomplishments, but success comes with being able to implement brilliant concepts wisely.

What makes a successful entrepreneur?

One has to be truly passionate about what one is endeavoring to do. If you are a team, then the other team members should possess the same fervor for the enterprise you are dreaming to set up.

Successful entrepreneurs do not shift their focus away from the task on hand. They also do not take in more than they can chew. In a nutshell, their application is single-minded.

When one cuts corners while executing a task, the whole exercise of trying to be a success falls through. Successful entrepreneurs know that! That is why they strain their every sinew to achieve what they have set out for. So even if they fail, they take solace from the fact that they had put in their best efforts.

If the above point is taken into consideration, then you will also be prepared to accept that the road to achievement of your goal could be very long. Patience is the operative word. It is, therefore, important not to fret when hurdles crop up along the way. Later on, the attendant milestones will make you feel that it was worth it.

One should be flexible and nimble-footed throughout the journey to possible success. It will help you learn many things along the way and let you change your tactics when required. That way you will never feel down and out.

Select your team well at the outset. It is better to choose people with skill sets which are different from your own, although it may be natural to be drawn towards the ones who work in a fashion that is similar to yours.

Do not fall into the trap of thinking that you are being a pioneer. Few if not many might have already trodden the path that you are following.

A plan that you have drawn at the initial stages must go through various phases of tweaking. You will invariably realize that many things that you had envisioned during the drawing board stage are not viable after all.

Compensate generously those who have put in their best efforts on the route. This a key point to keep in mind as they will be encouraged to give you more in the future. It also does not hurt to look beyond your business when you exhibit a goodwill gesture. It does make you feel better about yourself!
