Learning is fun, and the reward for learning is accessibility to information, which brings clarity to the user in the long run.

It gets clearer by the day how technology has birthed innovation, which has seen many transitions like the sudden switch from the manual/stick gears to the automatic transmission when we consider the automobile industry.

In the same vein, accessing the internet has gone beyond the use of personal computers [PC] alone to the use of mobile gadgets, which afford the user the ability to access the internet on the go.

The year 2022 is the year for those who decide to move with the never-ending speed of innovation. While some have joined the train, others have not settled in and are still experiencing some difficulty in the migration.

One such example is website loading time being too slow for a worthwhile user experience.

Unlike what the media always tells you, this post will practically give you the reasons why you experience loading delays on your website.

Before we proceed, I must thank The Watchtower-Web Design Agency Dubai for making this platform possible to share my article.

How can my website load faster in 2022?

The first solution to any challenge is asking a question; the second is asking the right question; and the third is asking the right person.

This is a logical point of view, and I believe if you have tackled this part, we can proceed to become better in our web design and web development. These are things that can help your website, as mentioned.

1. Avoid heavy images.

I know you have those amazing pictures, and I bet you want a high picture resolution to better tell the tales on your platform.

How about you think again. Web designers can help factor out designs that have a smaller file size so that the pictures included on the platform can load on time.

The domain address can also be viewed not just on a personal computer but also on a mobile phone at one’s convenience.

2. Avoid large-format videos.

The choice to keep your audience content-filled is entirely yours, but what you should know is that videos that buffer are turn-offs for people.

Once I click on a video on your domain, and it buffers, you won't find me there. [lol] I bet I speak for most people. I, therefore, recommend a short video, preferably in a zipped or compressed file format, for a worthwhile user experience.

3. Ensure compatibility.

Web developers need to remember that a good portion of the business domain users access the domain from their mobile devices. Imagine if one attempted to launch a URL [Uniform Resource Locator] that was designed for just Windows or PCs alone. This would mean gridlock for mobile device users.

It must be factored in that every domain must be responsive on both web platforms and mobile platforms, respectively.

4. Avoid redirects.

It can be tiring to click on a link and it hyperlinks to another and then another before it loads the landing page.

This process can be tiresome and makes one consider the security of the domain address.

Most people abort the user experience at this point, especially when they are not familiar with the web page or brand.

If you can, please avoid too many redirects or none at all. It slows down your loading time and, likewise, increases the abort time for users.

5. Make use of the cache.

You can save time by loading your web designs on a domain address instead of loading them up every time. This can be done by saving the web pages and easily reaching them either as bookmarks or from cache history.

This process speeds up your loading pace for launching a domain.

In conclusion, it is possible to design and build a website with rich content, but it does not generate as much traffic as it ought to.

If you pay attention to these few things pointed out above, and you factor them into your web design and development, you can be sure to enjoy a smooth user experience when users access your domain.
