Optimizing Your Website Files For Faster Download

Optimizing Your Files

Web surfers are very impatient people and they’re not going to wait around for your web pages to crawl onto their screen.

iWeb has a tendency to create large, complicate files which means that your pages will take a long time to download, particularly in that pathetic browser Internet Explorer.

You cut cut your file sizes by running them through an optimizing application. This will enable an average website to load up to 30% faster.

The application that I use - Web Site Maestro - not only optimizes the files at the speed of light but uploads them as well if you choose this option.

Although this application seems complicated at first sight, it has an easy to use setup wizard and good instructions.

Once you have it set up, its almost automatic.

It has a “smart handling” feature which, when selected, will optimize and upload the changed files only.

You will learn about the benefits of optimizing by visiting Ton Brand’s website.

Some of you may want to use MobileMe to publish your website so that you can have the features that are lost when publishing to a “real” server.

These are:

Password protection

Blog and photo comments

Blog search

Hit counter

The latest versions of Web Site Maestro and WebCrusher will do this for you.

Optimizing Sites Published to MobileMe

Those of you who haven’t the time or inclination to learn the above applications should take a serious look at WebCrusher.

This application employs the same drag and drop simplicity of iWeb.

It is so easy to use that I can’t imagine anybody having difficulty with it.
