Website optimization by Creative Idea web studio
Statistics show that the first result in a Google search receives about 20-35% of all clicks and traffic. By default, the top 10 results share more than 90% of the clicks. This applies to most search engines such as Yahoo!, Bing, Yandex, and others. In order for your site to be seen correctly and at the top of Google, the ‘optimization’ process is used.
SEO /Search Engine Optimization/ is the art of matching your site according to the search engine algorithm to bring you to the top for various keywords. The goal of every business is to get into the top 5 or at least the top 10 to appear on the first page of the search. This would ensure a significantly higher chance of your business being seen and attracting more potential customers.

You take care of your business, we will take care of your site
Loading fast and with no issues
excessive delay in the rendering of site content is irritating and has a negative effect on the time spent on the site. On average, users wait about 3 to 10 seconds for content to load, and if that doesn't happen, they leave the site
With no missing elements
when you come across a page that has been deleted or the content you are trying to load is missing, it is a 404 error for the server. The browser you're using doesn't know there's an error and tries to load the content for a while, causing a delay
With locally hosted modules
using Google Analytics, fonts, YouTube videos and other external elements on your site can make your server easier. However, you are dependent on the loading time of the element from the external server, and you cannot cache it further
With correctly cropped images
adding products or information to a site is usually a smooth process. It takes time and usually annoys the person doing it. When you apply photos to your site, they should be sized accordingly to render them. Adding photos with a size of 5-6 MB is not suitable because it increases the loading time
With SEO-optimized content
keywords are far from just meta tags. The texts on your site must have relevance to what the end user will be looking for. Each page should have at least 500 words of text, with no long sentences. The text should be structured and with subheadings separating its individual parts.
Protected with an SSL certificate
The SSL certificate is the difference between http and https in the site address. This is a module that is installed on the server for the respective domain and encrypts the connection between the end client's browser and the server. Thus, any information (e.g. filling out a contact form) cannot be intercepted by hackers.
Pointed to the correct auditory
the content of your site should be informative as well as useful. Increasingly, sites that are 'specialized' in a certain niche get the first places in search. If you have an auto parts site, water heater repair information on it will be irrelevant and less likely to help you get ahead
How to optimize a website in order for it to be lighter?
Using smaller images
Do you want the photos on your site to be in high resolution? A photo can be 5-6MB, even more. When it is integrated on a given page, it is ‘rendered’ by the browser, which means that it is uploaded to its buffer memory or in other words – the download. You understand that having 10 or so similar photos on a given page or even the entire site means that it will be 60MB, which is completely unnecessary in quantity. In such cases, we suggest that the visible photo be optimized and a text download link be added to the original HD photo. Thus, the photo will not be considered part of the site and it will not become unnecessarily heavy.Script merging
Another idea is the integration of several scripts into one. Very often, when using CMS systems, various plugins are added. What the average user doesn’t see is that almost every plugin/script has its own files that are loaded into the browser and help it work. When a page is loaded, these files must be loaded one by one, which means several dozen redundant requests to the server for the corresponding files. We merge files into several larger files, reducing server requests. For reference, a site with around 120-130 queries per page can be optimized down to around 30-50, depending on the scripts it uses.Is it necessary to use CDN?
A CDN or Content Delivery Network is a virtual network of servers located in different parts of the world that distribute traffic to your site. If your site is hosted on a server in Germany, and the visitors are from France, you may not feel much difference in speed, but if you are visited by users from Japan, the USA, Mexico, Canada, Australia, etc., your site will load much slower to them. In such cases, it is advisable to have a CDN, which will likely have a data center close to the user and would allow your site to load faster.
CDN sites also have the option to add an “under siege” module, which is useful if your site has a problem with too many visits from bots and search engines generating artificial traffic to it.
It should be noted that in some cases CDN services interfere with server-side caching, as they also have their own limitations.
