Done For You Blog Says: I was recently doing some work on a customer’s website to make the site faster loading and more secure. The first test at GTMetrix.com was horrible, with some of the slowest page loading times I’ve seen. The main culprits were several PNG files that were absolutely huge in file size. I reduced the image sizes to where they should be for that particular blog and converted the images to JPG. Just fixing those images alone resulted in a considerable improvement in the page loading speed. It may not be the most exciting subject to spend time on, but it could make a huge difference in keeping visitors on your site longer.
