5 Fine-tuning Tips To Better The Performance of Web Apps

by Rob Stephen getaprogrammer
Speed is considered to be a paramount factor to grab more traffic and increase conversions on a web application or a site. It is something to be given more importance over any other aspects in web development if you want your site to be engaging and retaining the users. However, you simply cannot pace up its performance on your own. There is no such ONE WAY to do that.  There are certain strategies to deploy and to be taken care even when the site is live. While performance tuning in .Net applications can be easily done seeking help from adept Dot Net developer, you also need to be aware of the strategies that work well for optimising the speed of the websites.





Run a speed test

Conduct a load test for your site to know the exact loading time and there are different tools for that like WebPage Test. It also helps in knowing what are the bottlenecks present in the web application and that is hampering the speed.

Bundle & minification

One thing that you can do to pace up the speed of web application or site is bundle together the files. The other way is to optimise the content size and shrink the files’ sizes using different minification tools.

Making less HTTPs requests

When a web browser receives information from a server, it generates an HTTP request, which is a form of response between the client and host. The more of such requests slogs down the site speed and this is the reason you need to check down the number of requests a browser makes to the server.

Image optimisation is the key

These days are more about attractive graphics, image sliders, flashy images and banners images and lesser information to make the website an visually appealing enough to hook the visitors. However, many fail to realise the too much of quality and big-sized images hamper the speed of the sites. But, there’s a way to deal with that. Images in PNG format should be used lesser and that of JPEGs should be used. You should also need to take care of using proper resolutions that an image needs.

Recognising the common application errors

The web application might be encountering errors or bugs that you may not be aware of. It may be just throwing of exceptions which are hard to understand initially. But, that’s the only way to know that something has been wrong. Retracing can garner the exceptions and report them to let you know where or what went wrong within the coding.

These five affirms to be the most effective and sure-shot measures to remove any lag in the website's performance. Besides, sluggish speed can be a major turn-off, when your target audience is from the professional or business sphere and naturally neither have the time nor the patience to see it loading. So, before it gets too late and you run out of visitors who can be your potential customers, get your website’s speed optimised fully with these quirky tips.
