To make the site clean and faster loading, I remove one piece advertising script.
The ads removed is provided by Kontera, I used it for many years. It is a content link ads. It mimics text link. When mouse move over it, a small float layer display a small box with ads. About five to ten Kontera links are added on each of my post. Now I took it away. The page looks less links on it.
The second change I made is to move Google Ads from the middle center of the post content to the right up inline of the post. Personally, I feel better look. And more content will be shown above the fold.
After the above two changes, the Fully Loaded time is reduced about 25% on first view.
It is the first day of my Two Week Campaign. It is very important to start everything correct in the beginning.
Day 1
I did following changes on Yinfor Site, including David Yin’s Blog.
The changes I made is based on the following concept.
Audience always likes faster web site. Audience always likes web site shown without errors.
First of all, my small job is to make my web page loading faster.
1) Combine CSS files and do not use @import to include other css file
2) Optimize Images on homepage. Got 5% reduction on image size.
3) Minify javascript file, mt.js, it cut 15KB.
4) Minify CSS file, it cut 9KB
5) Leverage browser caching of static assets. Such as jpg, png, gif files. I make them expired in 60 days.
The overall effects are: less connections, smaller files.
