File Sizes


SEO – File Sizes

You should consider the size of your website files both for the benefit of search engines and your visitors.

Obviously, you want your visitors to be able to get your website to load fast, but you need to help the search engines as well.

You can reduce the file size in a couple of ways:

1.) Use External Style Sheets

2.) Use Validated Code

3.) Cut out all the junk

Most search engines spiders don’t read JavaScript unless you include it from another page, so consider making all your menus real hyperlinks with anchor text. Your pages will load faster and the SE’s will be happier.

Reducing the size of your pages will help with your overall search engine optimization.

    Hi, I came across this post while searching for help with JavaScript. I’ve recently switched browsers from Opera to Internet Explorer 7. After the change I seem to have a issue with loading JavaScript. Everytime I browse website that needs Javascript, my computer does not load and I get a “runtime error javascript.JSException: Unknown name”. I cannot seem to find out how to fix the problem. Any help is very appreciated! Thanks
