Simple Steps to Increasing Your Website’s Speed

Speed is an important factor when Google ranks your website. A slow website can not only negatively affect your search position and customer experience, but can also make your website harder to find.

One thing you can do to improve your website’s speed is to give your website a semi-flat design. What does semi-flat design mean? According to Hubspot, “a flat design is any element that doesn’t include or give the perception of three dimensions, such as shadows. Not only is flat design easier for users to comprehend, but it can also load more quickly on websites without complicated or overly-technical elements.” If your website loads slowly or your design is hard to comprehend, consider a semi-flat website design. 

Adopting a responsive, mobile friendly layout is another way to ensure your website won’t slow down your visitors. Statista says that 54.8 percent of internet use is done with mobile devices. With so many people using their phones to browse the internet, designing a mobile friendly layout shouldn’t be overlooked. Adapting to different screen sizes can ensure compatibility across many different devices. A cluttered layout will turn off prospective clients, so it’s important to keep things simple and well organized.
