Often Overlooked SEO Tips

There are many aspects of SEO that are overlooked, they are:



  • the images should load faster - people leave slow websites quickly
  • web pages need to load faster - same with the last tip. You want people to have a pleasant experience on your site to increase their time on site
  • pages easy to navigate - people get fed up with confusing sites fast


  • The above are common annoyance for your target audience if you have a slow site. If you use WordPress, you should install a caching plugin like W3 Total Cache or WP Super Cache so that WordPress won't always get information from your database, which is slow.

    Also, move you site to a faster host. It will make a great difference in the experience.

    Flash animation should be avoided whenever possible. They are slow and crashy sometimes. HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript have great alternatives for creating animations.

    Images should be compressed with the Photoshop Save for Web tool to minimize the size of images. They will load much more quickly.


    Google is placing importance of a site's search rankings on content and speed. Loading speed shouldn't be overlooked.
