  • Use “link” instead of “@ import” to declare the style sheet

There is evidence that this tip increases the performance of loading the style sheet (CSS) on their pages. Using the code “link” instead of “@ import” the file is loaded more quickly.

  • Disperse your files across multiple domains

In a large site, with large audience, you might consider putting your files in different domains. For instance, in the main domain, dedicatedserverhostingonline.com, leave the files html, asp or php, and the pictures and videos on images.dedicatedserverhostingonline.com. Thus increases paralleled downloads. Many webmasters prefer to place their scripts or images on external services like Amazon S3 or Google Ajax Libraries API relieving the load on your own server.

  • Reduce HTTP requests

In section <head> page of your site can see which files are loaded. Check the JavaScript and CSS. You can join them in just a single JS file, or a single CSS file, thus avoiding multiple loads of files or script styles. The less files faster your pages will be delivered to the user.

  • Use GET in AJAX scripts

This technique is more geared for developers, it indicates that while using the GET method instead of POST, AJAX in your scripts, you are making a request to the server in just one step, instead of the POST which is always two steps necessary to obtain the desired data. GET transfers data at once using fewer dedicated servers.

  • Always Declare Dimensions of the images

One of the most neglected thing by the developers but of extreme importance. Declaring the length and height of images, videos, tables, etc., will make the browser “guess” the size of the objects which will be loading the page more slowly. On the other hand if the browser knows in advance what its size automatically reserves this space thus maintaining the consistency of the page and their texts.

There are more tips and techniques for increasing the performance of the website. Of course using these techniques periodically improves the performance of your website and therefore reduces the load on the server. Using the techniques together will be surprised with the gain that gets to you and your browsing experience, but also optimize your dedicated server hosting resources without changing to a more powerful and more expensive dedicated server.
