Speed Up Your Site: Use A Slash On Your Links


When a server opens a link in the form of “http://www.domain.com/about” it will need to figure what kind of file or web page is contained on that address, wasting time on the process. If instead of using that link you include a slash (”/”) at the end like “http://www.domain.com/about/” the web server will already know that the link points to a directory, reducing the time to load the page.

This will really speed up your website load time , also helps in online marketing of your blog/website.

The improvement on the loading time of links ending with a slash will not be astronomical, but when it comes to speeding up a website every small bit helps!

Speed Up Your Site Series:

1. Optimize Images
2. Image Formats
3. Optimze Your CSS
4. Use a Slash on Your Links
5. Use the Height and Width Tags
6. Reduce the HTTP Requests

Note : In my next post I would explain the points above which help in professional seo.
