In short: It pays to be fast.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of factors that can affect your site\u2019s performance. While some are dependent on your hosting environment, there are plenty of factors beyond server\/internet speed (and the obvious sheer number of bits to be loaded) that affect your page load time, such as HTTP connections, DNS lookups, and asset load sequencing.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a front-end developer and you\u2019re serious about building websites that load as fast as possible, come learn about techniques (such as non-blocking Javascript) you can use in your markup and themes \u2014 whether on WordPress or some other system \u2014 to help things load as quickly as possible. We\u2019ll also review tools you can use to assess whether your site is doing all it can to load quickly.<\/p>\n<iframe src='https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/slideshow\/embed_code\/32202910' width='604' height='495' sandbox=\"allow-popups allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation\" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"604\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1ZW4_lu8DMI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Data from major Internet providers like Google, Amazon and Akamai has shown that how fast a website loads significantly affects user behavior.
