Ways and Tips to Optimize Your Website

Web Optimization has a vital role with the development and maintenance of your website, but it is also often ignored by most of us. If you haven’t done or tried the optimization to your website even once and you are just curious enough to be fully dedicated to speed up your website then you surely need to take a look on these ways and tips that you can do to optimize your website. 

Choose a perfect Web Host

The web hosting account that you are using may not have a direct impact with the optimizations that you are about to perform but this is actually important. Hosting an account is the basic foundation of your website its accessibility, security, prices and customer services, and server stability plays a big role for the successfulness of your site. So you have to make sure that you have the right web host. 

Host your assets individually

When you say assets, these are you web components such as images and static scripts. It may also include web graphics. Javascripts, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), and other images. This usually causes some tremendous results especially on server stability when you are having some traffic spike.

Minimize Redirects

You usually do URL redirect most of the time especially when you are purposely pointing some information or guides to your clients or readers to the correct page. Each redirection causes you an additional HTTP request and RTT or round-trip-time. The more redirection you got, the slower the user will be able to go to your page. 

Compress your JavaScript and CSS

There are so many available applications and software in the internet that can help you compress your contents can even combine a series of CSS and JavaScript files. It will give the results with HTTP encoding and some headers to allow you in caching.

Customize Header Expiry or Doing Caching

By having a customized expiry header, your assets like images, CSS, static files, and JavaScript skipped pointless HTTP request as the same user reloaded the page for the second time. It also reduces the bandwidth needed and will be in a good use in loading the page faster.

Off-load Your Assets

With you off-loading your assets, it means that you are going to separate your web components or assets from the main server where your website was hosted, and you are going to place them on another server, you may also use other web services. You are going to leave the server to continue working with just the PHP processing.

Handling the Web Images

Images are one of the most important web components that your website has. However, if you won’t be able to properly optimize them, it may turn out to be one of your biggest problems and you may just end up utilizing a bigger size of bandwidths on a daily basis. In optimizing your images, you may do some certain things. First are you had to learn about the formats of the images, what are Jpeg, GIF, and PNG and make sure you also check out on how you would perfectly save your images in the web.

Remember, you don’t have to scale your images. Try to practice and be familiar with inserting the width and height of the images. Don’t scale it down to somewhat not so good size just because you need it to be shown in smaller version. For example, do not force a 400 x 400 px image to be scaled down to 50 x 50 px on your website by just changing the width and height, instead, it could be better if you are going to have a 50 x 50 px image.

You can check a lot of software or applications that could help you in handling your images around the internet. And if you are familiar, Adobe Photoshop is one of them.

Handling the CSS

Websites nowadays are already using CSS as one of the stepping stones of their website style, looks, and somewhat, it feels. CSS are very flexible in doing some changes and has a lesser codes that will be needed. 

Though, when they are badly coded, it could be the worst. To clearly make sure that your CSS are being optimized, you may have to check some software like those that cleans your CSS selectors.

You have to keep your CSS short but proper. Usually, codes are better the shorter they are to be easily understood by your system.

Try to learn how to use the CSS Sprite; it is one of the techniques that you could use to reduce your HTTP request every time a page in your site is being reloaded, by merging all the images together into a single image file. It can also control the result of your CSS background-position quality. 

Use all of your declaration once. While checking out your optimize CSS files, the best thing and most powerful step that you can do is simply using your declaration once.

You may also reduce the amount of CSS files that you have. It is because the more CSS files you have, the more HTTP requests will be make every time your webpage is being requested by a user 

            Aside from the websites that you have, most people actually have their own blogs and from time to time they are monitoring its performance, if the site is not doing good, it is important to know the reason.

MY BIGGEST RIVAL

MY BIGGEST RIVAL

I first knew her when she went here in our country, Philippines, together with all the members of 4minute. That time, they are still new in the Korean Music Industry and she had only gained few comments and attentions due to the reason that she is a former member of Wonder Girls, but as time went by, seeing her right now, I would never admit how much she had improved and how much attractive she is now.

 When she first released her solo album, Change, she make me believe that she is one talented person, that she is worth something for. Her dancing skills is seriously worth praising for , but what I like the most about her is her body and her way of dressing up.

She had even build her own fashion shop which makes me more interested about her. I don't know why, but I'm quite fond of checking how she dress and fix herself.

But, right now, I don't even know what should I feel about her. She is now my biggest rival in many people that is close to me. 

My father likes her, he said she was sexy and beautiful making Hyun-A as her crush. Yeah, I'm quite jealous, I'm a daddy's girl after all and he doesn't flatter me even a bit that's why I'll work hard and beat the body that Hyun-A has! :P

My nephew like her, he always watch her videos and he just always gaped on how Hyun-A dance especially on Bubble Pop! YEah, I admit it. she was so daring and erotic in that video. 

 Sometimes, I don't know is she is a cutie  or sexy and what is really the image that she is setting up. It seems that on her videos, she make sure that there will be a part that she will just make some "aegyo" to avoid pure sexiness. 

*sigh*. but my biggest problem was that my ex-boyfriend had fallen for her. He wants her to be hers only, hw want her to sleep beside him, cook for him, sings for him, dance for him, everything a girlfriend should do and I'm so effin jealous. I can't blame him though especially I'm the one who pushes through to check Hyun-A out. Now she is my biggest rival. 

It kinda hurts me everytime my ex-boyfriend say her name. YEah. YEah, YEah.

Ang Pagmamahal Ko Sayo..

Ang Pagmamahal Ko Sayo..

        

            Ang pagmamahal ko sayo ay parang isang regalo. Natanggap ko ng wala pasabi, hindi ko alam noong una kung ano man ang laman nito pero buong puso ko tong binuksan at tinanggap and handog na nasa loob nito.

            Ang pagmamahal ko sayo ay parang isang bituin. Marami man ang kagaya mo na nagbibigay ilaw sa madilim kong gabi, liwanag mo pa rin ang aking hinahanap – hanap.

            Ang pagmamahal ko sayo ay parang isang bahaghari. Ito ay puno ng samu’t saring kulay na tila nagrerepresenta sa bawat emosyon na iyong nabibigay sa akin.

            Ang pagmamahal ko sayo ay parang isang elepante. Bukod sa ito ay aking paborito at hinding hindi ko magagawang tanggihan, kasing laki niya rin ito.

            Ang pagmamahal ko sayo ay parang accounting, sobrang dali ipaliwanag at sabihin pero mahirap sagutin at iapply dahil kailangan mo ito mapanatili na balance.

            Ang pagmamahal ko sayo ay parang isang paborito kong kanta. Paulit – ulit ko man pakinggan, at masaulo na ang bawat linya nito, hindi pa rin ako magsasawa na ito ay pakinggan at sabayan.

            Ang pagmamahal ko sayo ay parang kulay pula, maisip at makita ko pa lang, tila mga bituin na ang aking mga mata dahil gusto ko na ito makuha.

            Ang pagmamahal ko sayo ay parang isang drama sa telebisyon. Hindi ito nakakasawang subaybayan sapagkat mananatili sa aking ala-ala ang bawat pangyayari mula rito.

            Ang pagmamahal ko sayo ay parang isang libro, sa bawat pahina may ibang kwento, may masaya, may nakakilig, may nakakalungkot,  at may nakakaiyak. Hindi nakakasawang basahin at intindihin, mas masarap pang ulit – ulitin.

            Ang pagmamahal ko sayo ay parang isang salamin. Pilit kong inaalagaan na huwag mabasag sapagkat dito ko nakikita kung ano ang itsura at kung sino talaga ako.

            Ang pagmamahal ko sayo ay parang isang dress, dahil sa sobrang nakahiligan ko ng gamitin, di ko namalayan na sobrang ito na lang ang bumabagay na damit sa akin.

            Ang pagmamahal ko sayo ay parang isang susi, hindi ko magagawang buksan ang kandado ng puso ko kung hindi dahil dito. Ito ang nagbukas at nagbigay ng panibagong pagkakataon para magtiwala ako sa isang tao.

            Ang pagmamahal ko sayo ay parang isang beauty soap, habang tumatagal ang aking paggamit, lalo akong gumaganda at nahihiyang ito sa aking balat.

            Ang pagmamahal ko sayo ay parang isang computer, hindi ko alam kung paano gamitin noong una pero aking pinag-aralan mabuti kaya heto at ito ay aking kabisado na!

            Ang pagmamahal ko sayo ay parang isang larawan, ito ay hindi nakakasawang tingnan at sa bawat pagkakataon na aking makikita, ako ay mapapangiti na lamang at kikiligin basta basta.

            Ang pagmamahal ko sayo ay parang isang payong. Umulan man o umaraw nandiyan lang para ako ay protektahan, gabayan at ingatan.

             Ang pagmamahal ko sayo ay parang isang ulap, sa tingin pa lang alam kong sobrang lambot na nito at masarap yakapin.

            Ang pagmamahal ko sayo ay parang isang kama. Nandyan palagi sa loob ng aking silid para pawiin ang bawat pagod at antok na aking nadarama.

            Ang pagmamahal ko sayo ay parang isang asukal. Sa sobrang tamis nito, minsan kailangan ng bawas bawasan at baka ikaw ay mauta at magsawa kaagad.

At ang pagmamahal ko sayo ay parang isang mundo, hindi ako makakagalaw ng wala ito at kahit saan ako magpunta, ikaw at ikaw pa rin ang aking babalik balikan pero ang pagmamahal ko sayo ngayon ay para nang isang malubhang sakit, gusto ko nang mawala at gumaling para makapagpatuloy sa panibagong buhay na darating. Kahit na patuloy ang pagdudulot nito ng sakit, pinagdarasal ko na dumating rin ang araw na lumipas ito at tila hindi na pumasok sa pagkatao ko.
