Question of The Day: Will I Have Slow Load Times With Too Many Features?
For folks that aren’t familiar with load times it refers to a page load sequence that occurs [when CSS, JavaScript, Plugins, RSS, Flash, etc. objects are being called up] for any site visitor, human or bot.
It’s possible that certain design files, plugin features, widget additions, traffic analysis or even a web host may delay load times. In fact there can be many things at play like, for instance, server attacks are fairly common. In this case, security matters! It’s all important because no one likes to sit and wait while a site loads, including the Google Bot. The consensus is that humans, on average, get impatient at around 9- 10 seconds. The Google Bot, which you count on to index and rank your content, actually evaluates loads too. It doesn’t like slow loading pages, particularly if you are using them to promote Google Ad’ programs. Why? Driving human visitors away could eat into click revenue stream! With regards to organic page indexing, load time will actually affect how much of a pages’ content gets indexed – see Google Crawl AND Business Blog.
One of the standard services Kinetic Knowledge/ Real Estate Blogsites offers clients is ongoing IT/ Site Management. While we’re always looking to add great new features, we’re also weighing them against an ongoing evaluation of load times, etc. We evaluate design & plugin features before accepting and, while we want for folks to have all their favorites, we often discourage the addition of too many widgets as well.
