Website’ speed of loading pages is a priority factor for web users accessing the website. It’s very annoying and users have least tolerance when the page takes ages to load. Even Google gives preference in ranking high for websites with higher loading speed. In this article I’m going to share tips to improve site speed and yields greater profits.

Remove unwanted plugins and adds ons which impact on the performance of the website speed when the site is built on WordPress or Joomla. Plugins slow down the site speed of loading to a massive 86%. The number of plugins and the quality of plugins have the similar impact. Good quality plugins do not hamper the speed of website speed while the lower end of plugins usually the crappy ones.
