File size – Make sure that your site is quick to load in any browser. There are obviously a number of factors that can affect how quickly a website loads, but try to make sure that large file sizes isn’t one of them.
Webpage file size probably isn’t something that most people think about in the day to day running of your website. It is however really important especially if you want the Google spider to crawl your site thoroughly.
Even if you decide to use tables, CSS can greatly improve your web sites load time! With your styles in an external .css file, the browser can cache all the formatting and stylizing for your pages instead of having to read each and every single tag all over again. Also it cuts down on long drawn out tags and replaces them with smaller class styles instead.
If you use tables, try avoiding the whole page being one big table. The browser won’t show anything until it’s read the whole thing that way. For a faster loading webpage, either try multiple tables or having items above the main table to make your content in the first table show up faster. This way your visitors will have something to read as the rest of your page loads.
