Professional Web Design Tips for a Faster Website

2
Limit use of flash
Flash is a classic example of style over
substance and, while it definitely has its place
in professional Web design, it must be used
sparingly when you create a website. 
3
Compress your images
Images are a great example of how looks can be
deceiving in professional Web design. By
compressing your images before adding them to
your professional Web design, you can
reduce/shrink a GIF or .JPEG image by up to half
its original size.
4
Clean up your code
While HTML text is much faster than graphic text,
there are ways you can make it even faster. Watch
out for extraneous HTML coding like spaces,
unnecessary tags and even white space -- that can
increase the size of your files.
5
Reduce server requests
Any element of your design that loads from a
different server whether it be a graphic, an
audio clip, or an ad will elicit an HTTP
request each time the page loads. 
6
Use thumbnails
Thumbnails are an especially helpful website
design technique for ecommerce websites. Provide
customers with a small, fast-loading image of
your product and let them decide whether they
want to view the larger version of the image.
