Google confirmed that page speed affects search rankings. Users abandon sites that take more than three seconds to load. <a href=\"https:\/\/apartmentgarden.in\/divi-nitro\/\">Divi Nitro<\/a> handles most optimizations automatically, but understanding the strategies helps you make smart decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Image optimization provides the biggest speed gains. Images typically account for 50-70% of page weight. Compress images before uploading using tools like TinyPNG or ImageOptim. Serve images in modern formats like WebP. Use responsive images so mobile users don&#8217;t download desktop-sized files.<\/p>\n<p>Lazy loading delays loading images until users scroll to them. This dramatically improves initial page load time. Divi Nitro enables lazy loading automatically for images, videos, and even modules.<\/p>\n<p>CSS and JavaScript minification removes unnecessary characters from code files. Combining multiple files reduces HTTP requests. Deferring non-critical JavaScript prevents render-blocking. These technical optimizations happen automatically with Divi Nitro.<\/p>\n<p>Caching stores static versions of your pages so they load instantly for returning visitors. Browser caching tells visitors&#8217; browsers to store certain files locally. Server-side caching generates page HTML once and serves it to multiple visitors. Both types work together for maximum speed.<\/p>\n<p>Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) serve your site from servers geographically close to your visitors. A visitor in Australia gets your site from an Australian server, not one in the US. This reduces latency and speeds up loading.<\/p>\n<p>Database optimization matters for sites with lots of content. Clean up post revisions, spam comments, and transient options. Optimize database tables regularly. These cleanups improve query performance.<\/p>\n<p>Font loading strategy affects perceived performance. Limit custom font usage to 2-3 families. Use font-display: swap to prevent invisible text while fonts load. Consider system fonts for body text to eliminate font loading entirely.<\/p>\n<p>Measure your improvements with tools like Google PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix. Focus on real-world metrics like Largest Contentful Paint and Time to Interactive, not just overall scores.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Master speed optimization for Divi sites.
