If your traffic is mainly a social media traffic then you must probably take care of the loading time of your blog. This is particularly because the visitors from social media websites doesn’t land to your websites seeking for some content unlike the visitors from classic Search Engines.
Hence the only ways of impressing them to stay back on your website are a faster website, appealing designs and impressive content or articles. I have listed out 8 important ways how I made my blog load faster. If you know any more, please feel free to comment at the end.

  • optic-fiberOptimize Images – This is the most crucial thing that sucks bandwidth. Before uploading and embedding a image, make sure you optimize it for the web so that it takes less bandwidth.
  • DO NOT Scale Images – I have seen a lot of blogs where bloggers upload large images and simple scale them to small sizes. This won’t affect the image loading time. Because the browser will have to download a big image and scale it. Rather than that, you should take care to resize the image and upload it.
  • CSS Sprites – CSS Sprites are a great way of improving the loading speed of your pages. One of the problem you may face is how to use them, If you are great in CSS then you don’t need to worry.
  • Less Ads and 3rd Party Widgets – pages cluttered with ads will naturally load slow due to several connections to be made to other 3rd party websites for loading ads.
  • Ads from different Networks – if you are looking to run ads from different simultaneously then this is really a bad idea. The consequence is similar to the one above. Running multiple networks means connecting to multiple domains, which means multiple DNS queries have to be made. This can drastically increase the loading time.
  • Javascript at the END – always put the Javascript codes just before closing the </body> tag. This will load the page before loading javascript hence the user will be able to see atleast some content before laoding the page completely.
  • Use Less FLASH – I advocate you to use no flasha t all unless it is necessary. including flash components can forcefully suffer your blog’s load time.
  • GZIP Componenets – This is a technique use by Apache. Whenever a page is about to be loaded, the server check if browser is able to accept content in GZIp mode i.e. archived mode. Archiving html can reduce the amount of data to be transferred by zipping it however this may put up some load on your server’s CPU. So use this carefully.
  • Use a CDN – Well if you can spare 2-5$ each month then you should probably be using a Content Delivery Network (CDN). here is the wikipedia’s definition of a CDN. Using a CDn ca cost you much less when comp-ared to using a Dedicated Hosting Server.

    CDN is a system of computers networked together across the Internet that cooperate transparently to deliver content to end users, most often for the purpose of improving performance, scalability, and cost efficiency

If all above doesn't work then use a faster host. I recommend WPWebHost for hosting your blogs.
