4 Technologies That Can Really Speed Up Your Website
The internet is constantly making progress with speed being
the major factor for this headway and it becoming a key question for most web
developers.
1. HTTP/2
HTTP/2 is a new version of the World Wide Web protocol and
it has an ability to access multiple requests in a single connection, is called
Multiplexing.
HTTP/1 was more efficient for loading one large image
instead of several small because it wasn’t able to handle multiple requests at
the same time. This issue was solved in the new version. These updations
provide a performance boost of up to 50%. HTTP/2 doesn’t require a secured
website directly; browsers only support it over SSL. So you need to take SSL
Certificate for implementing HTTP/2.
2. SSL CERTIFICATE
Simply, SSL certificates encrypt the connection between a
server and a client. It’s easy to obtain the certificate for free Let’s
Encrypt.
Let’s Encrypt is a new certification authority and their
goal is to eliminate all the manual processes required for obtaining a certificate
by automating whole process.
3. BROTLI
Brotli is a Google’s new compression algorithm that enables to
reduce the size of transported data.
Brotli will offer 20-26% better compression ratio,hence you
can save about 40% of your traffic on HTML files and about 25% on CSS and
Javascript.
4. CONTENT DELIVERY
NETWORK
A Content Delivery Network is a set of many servers around
the world. These servers will contain copies of your site’s content (images,
videos, software etc.). When accessed by any user, this data loads from a
server that is closer to the visitor and so the overall loading is much faster
everywhere.
As the content is spread around tens of servers, your web
hosting server is spared a significant portion of traffic and therefore is
better protected from crashing. Therefore website loading time is faster by 50%
or more.
