Hello, shreedhar Narhari
Welcome to the Microsoft community.
Thank you for your feedback. There are several steps that can be taken to effectively reduce your site's page load speeds while ensuring performance optimization, enhancing the user experience, and maintaining the quality of content and functionality:
- Optimize images
Use tools such as TinyPNG, JPEGmini or Imgix to compress images to reduce file size without compromising on quality; JPG for photos, PNG for transparent background images, SVG for vector graphics and GIF for simple animations. Implement lazy loading of images to ensure that images are loaded only when the user scrolls to the view.
- Proper utilization of cache
Configure browser caching to allow frequently used files to be saved in the user's browser to improve loading speed for repeated visits. Content Delivery Network (CDN): Using a CDN to distribute content and place resources closer to the user can significantly reduce load times.
- Code Optimization
Compress CSS, JavaScript and HTML files and try to merge them into one file to reduce HTTP requests. Tools such as UglifyJS, CSSNano and HTMLMinifier can help with this. Clean up unused CSS and JavaScript code. Set JavaScript scripts to load asynchronously (async) or deferred (defer) to avoid blocking page rendering.
- Use modern technologies
HTTP/2: Enabling the HTTP/2 protocol significantly improves loading speeds because it allows concurrent loading of multiple resources and compresses HTTP headers. Use <link rel=“preload”> and <link rel=“prefetch”> tags to preload key resources to reduce user wait time.
- Database Optimization
Use in-memory caching (e.g. Redis, Memcached) to store frequently accessed data and reduce database queries. Ensure database queries are efficient by using indexes and reducing complex queries.
- Server and hosting optimization
Use a server hosting provider with good performance, you can choose servers with SSDs and hosts with good network connectivity. Enable server-side Gzip compression to reduce file size when transferring data.
- Reduce HTTP requests
Minimize the number of HTTP requests. Reduce the number of HTTP requests for multiple small images with the Image Wizard.
- Optimize font loading
Smaller size and superior performance as in WOFF2. Configure font loading policies, such as font-display: swap;, to ensure that text content is still displayed when the font is loaded.
