How to Use WebP Images to Improve Website Speed
[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] WebP is a new, highly effective image format for the web. Compared to its predecessors, it provides a much better level of compression. You can have images that weigh less while having the same level of quality or better. Because of its smaller size, WebP helps you substantially improve your website speed. The format was originally developed by Google and is already supported by every modern mobile and desktop browser. Pictures in this format can be both lossless and lossy, which makes it very versatile. There is no doubt that website speed is a matter of great importance. It affects the user experience, SEO, search rankings, and the overall quality of your website. So having images that load faster can make a difference. Visitors often leave a website just because of slowly loading images, without even seeing the content. There’s definitely a lot of benefits of switching to WebP instead of the traditionally used formats, Jpeg and PNG. You can make your website load faster and noticeably improve website speed while preserving the quality of your images, since WebP is pretty delicate when it comes to quality. But first let’s consider the traditional method of making images less heavy. [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Traditional Method to Reduce PNG PNG is the most popular lossless format, broadly used around the internet. Pictures in this format suffer no loss of quality and are relatively compact, but still not perfect, especially if we’re talking about a high number of pictures or pictures of a larger size. The most conventional method of reducing your PNG file is by saving it as Jpeg, which is possible in any graphic editor, such as Adobe Photoshop. You simply open your image in Photoshop, click “Save As” and select Jpeg in the list of available extentions. Jpeg is lossy format and it sometimes entails noticeable artifacts. Another common way is by using a tool like TinyPng that can optimize your PNG file. It does not convert images to Jpeg; instead, it analyzes the color palette and changes the colors in a subtle way so that the file becomes more optimized. However, there is an even more effective way to reduce image size. Use WebP Image Converter There’s an excellent web tool called Webp Converter that will definitely come in handy if you want to reduce the size of your images fast and with no hassle.

Read MoreAudit Procedures for Accounts Receivable
[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Accounts receivable is the sum of money that your customers owe you for the goods and services you have sold to them on credit. This is considered to be a current asset, because you convert it into money later, usually within a year. Accounts receivable is important because it is the money you use to run your business. As an example, let’s suppose you sell office appliances worth $1,000 to a customer on credit. Your customer will need to pay you $1,000 for the appliances, so your accounts receivable increases by $1,000. This amount will be listed under the current assets on your balance sheet.

Auditing means a thorough and formal inspection of your documents. Auditors pay special attention to a business’ assets, including accounts receivable, to make sure there is no fraud involved. They also verify your financial statements, such as balance sheets and income statements, to check whether your business is being portrayed accurately. Auditing is a mandatory requirement in all countries, but the rules for when you need to audit differ from country to country. Usually the government requires you to audit as soon as you cross a revenue threshold. Auditing your receivables is important because it sheds light upon the status of a business’ incoming cash. In addition to validating your financial records, the outcomes presented on the auditing reports also let you check whether you have unsent invoices, and whether your customers pay their invoices on time. The objectives of an AR audit During an audit, the auditor will try to determine whether: Your balance sheet reflects your accounts receivable accurately Refund records for returned items are accurate Proper measures are taken to prevent misappropriation of non-electronic payments in the form of cash and checks Procedure for auditing accounts receivable (AR) Once the objectives of the audit are set, the audit process can begin. These are some of the procedures involved in an accounts receivable audit. Inspecting customer orders Looking at your customer orders is an important part of AR auditing. During the audit, your auditor compares the invoices you’ve sent out with the orders made by customers to check if the amounts on both the documents are the same. This is important because if there is any discrepancy between the numbers, it could mean that you’ve recorded total receivables incorrectly. Comparing receivable reports with the grand total The auditor will compare the amount in the accounts receivable account in your general ledger with the grand total of your receivables in your period-end accounts receivable aging report, to check if the totals match. A mismatch indicates the presence of a wrong journal entry in the ledger account. Matching invoices to shipping log The auditor will match the date on each of your invoices with the shipment dates of the corresponding items in your shipping log. They will also examine invoices that were issued on dates after the auditing period. This is done because your sales must be recorded in the right accounting period, so it’s important to catch any invoices that should have been included in an earlier period. [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_video src=”https://youtu.be/4g9T20wRdio” _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default”][/et_pb_video][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Confirming receivables In this part of the audit, the auditor directly contacts your customers to confirm any unpaid accounts receivable as of the reporting period’s end. This is done to verify the accounts receivable that you have recorded. Auditors usually select customers that have large unpaid balances first, then customers with overdue invoices, and finally customers with smaller receivable balances. Reviewing cash receipts The auditor will look for proof of the payments made by customers. This is a backup plan that’s used if the auditor fails to confirm the accounts receivable with your customers directly. If customers pay you via checks, the auditor looks for check copies, and attempts to confirm them with the bank or by checking your bank transactions. Reviewing credit notes Credit notes are important transactions because they can affect future transactions. Customers can deduct the credit note amount the next time they pay you for goods or services. This makes their payment different from the original invoice amount, which affects your receivables. The auditor will review credit notes you have issued to your customers to make sure they were properly authorized and issued during the correct period. The auditor will also check if the circumstances under which you issued them were legitimate and match the records of issued credit notes. Trend analysis Auditors use trend lines to compare accounts receivable with the company’s sales or current assets. Trend lines, usually used in technical analysis of budgeting and forecasting, are graphed sets of data points that show how a particular financial figure is trending. They help auditors analyze patterns and conduct inquiries if they spot anomalies like an increase in accounts receivable or revenue without a proportionate increase in sales or assets. Preparing for the audit So how do you get your business ready for an AR audit? Get an accounting system that helps create invoices and other sales transactions Collect payments and update the corresponding invoices to paid status Keep track of credit notes and refunds Reconcile your bank accounts Get audit-ready in no time When an audit is around the corner, it is best to have clear and easy-to-track records of your accounts receivable. It is not impossible to get your records sorted for the audit by hand. However, a modern accounting system that uses automation to keep your accounts receivable audit-ready can cut down hours of manual work and eliminate undesirable errors. AR automation helps you schedule invoices and payment reminders, while also updating invoices with their corresponding payment status through workflows. The result is well-organized accounts receivable records and a smooth audit procedure.

What is the EU VAT e-commerce package? The EU VAT e-commerce package is a reform to the existing VAT obligations for sellers that will come into effect on July 1, 2021. This package includes some key changes that will simplify VAT returns, and it will impact the way online sales happen across the EU. Q. Where does the EU VAT e-commerce package apply? The EU VAT package applies to the online supply of goods and services throughout the EU. However, the protocol for Northern Ireland is slightly different and applies only to goods. The UK will implement this package with respect to goods being supplied back and forth from Northern Ireland, while services that are supplied back and forth from Northern Ireland won’t count towards the threshold that will be implemented. [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https://blog.gotmenow.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Make-payment-collection-a-breeze-with-Zoho-Invoice.png” alt=”How can I convert an estimate into an invoice?” title_text=”Make payment collection a breeze with Zoho Invoice” url=”https://go.zoho.com/HzZ%20https://go.zoho.com/KwD” url_new_window=”on” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Q. What’s the purpose of the EU VAT e-commerce package? The new rules have been introduced to make administrative work and VAT collection a lot easier for businesses selling to customers across the EU and UK. Simply put, this package will allow sellers to make sales across the European Union on a single VAT return in their home country, instead of having to register for VAT in each country. With simpler VAT returns and reduced compliance obligations, cross-border online trade and trade across EU’s digital single market will grow faster. Q. What’s new in the EU VAT e-commerce package? The two major components of the new EU VAT e-commerce measures are the OSS (One Stop Shop) and IOSS (Import One Stop Shop), which are portals that allow taxpayers to report and pay VAT on a quarterly and monthly basis respectively. The OSS is applicable only for online intra-community distance sales of goods across the EU. In simpler terms, intra-community distance sales are those in which VAT-applicable goods are sold from one EU country to another EU country. The IOSS, on the other hand, allows suppliers and online marketplaces selling imported goods to collect and pay VAT directly, instead of putting the VAT burden onto the buyer. This means that marketplaces become deemed suppliers and will be responsible for collecting VAT for sales made through their platforms. Q. What else is changing in the EU VAT e-commerce package? The EU VAT e-commerce package includes the following changes to the existing VAT rules: A) Launching the OSS and IOSS The OSS and IOSS extend the MOSS (Mini One Stop Shop) by removing the VAT exemption for low-value imports, and by including more services and goods, even those imported into the EU. Using the OSS, taxpayers can register once and file one EU VAT return for ecommerce distance sales across the EU. Using the IOSS, suppliers and online marketplaces selling imported goods can collect and pay VAT directly. B) Replacing the distance selling thresholds with a pan-European threshold While distance sales of B2C goods will continue between EU member states and Northern Ireland, the existing EU distance selling thresholds will be removed as of July 1, 2021, and will be replaced with a new threshold. Previously, VAT only applied to intra-community distance sales, with a specific annual turnover threshold for certain countries (€35,000 for sales to most EU countries, and €100,000 for Germany, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg). With the new measures, a single pan-European threshold of €10,000 (£8,600) is applicable for all businesses with a permanent address and VAT registration in the EU. This threshold change is mandatory, and will apply to all cross-border sales by businesses across the EU. C) Removal of Low Value Consignment Relief (LVCR) The LVCR is a VAT relief option where imports of goods lesser than €22 (£20) could be exempted from import VAT. This has been abolished. After July 1, 2021, VAT will be charged on all B2C consignments. Those that are worth €150 (£130) or less can be reported via the IOSS portal at the point of sale. For goods that exceed this amount, the existing rules will continue to apply. [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_video src=”https://youtu.be/4g9T20wRdio” _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default”][/et_pb_video][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Q. What and who does the EU VAT e-commerce package impact? These changes will impact the collection of VAT when it comes to: a) Movement and sale of B2C goods between Northern Ireland and the EU, and b) Import of low value goods (consignments with an intrinsic value of not more than €150 or £130) into the EU or Northern Ireland. It will also replace the existing thresholds for each country with a pan-European threshold of €10,000. These measures will impact everyone in the ecommerce supply chain, including online marketplaces. Two changes (the One Stop Shop and the Import One Stop Shop) are optional, and can be used by businesses outside the EU, including the UK. The package will also impact non-EU businesses with goods located in Northern Ireland that are intended for sale. These new VAT measures only apply on online sales to customers in the EU. Q. How are online marketplaces affected by these new measures? Online marketplaces facilitating the sale of goods in either of the following situations will become deemed suppliers: 1. Goods located in Northern Ireland or EU, sold by non-EU businesses to non-VAT registered customers in Northern Ireland and EU 2. Goods located in Northern Ireland, sold by businesses in Great Britain to EU customers. When a marketplace becomes a deemed supplier, it should account for VAT for sales that are made through its portal as if they are its own sales. VAT will be charged at the point of sale. The marketplace will be accountable for VAT when it facilitates distance sales or any domestic transactions for non-EU sellers. Marketplaces have to use IOSS (if it’s opted) to collect and pay VAT for the sale of imports that don’t exceed

Bookkeeping is the process of recording your company’s financial transactions into organized accounts on a daily basis. It can also refer to the different recording techniques businesses can use. Bookkeeping is an essential part of your accounting process for a few reasons. When you keep transaction records updated, you can generate accurate financial reports that help measure business performance. Detailed records will also be handy in the event of a tax audit. This guide will walk you through the different methods of bookkeeping, how entries are recorded, and the major financial statements involved.

When choosing, consider the volume of daily transactions your business has and the amount of revenue you earn. If you are a small business, a complex bookkeeping method designed for enterprises may cause unnecessary complications. Conversely, less robust methods of bookkeeping will not suffice for large corporations. With this in mind, let’s break these methods down so you can find the right one for your business. Single-entry bookkeeping Single-entry bookkeeping is a straightforward method where one entry is made for each transaction in your books. These transactions are usually maintained in a cash book to track incoming revenue and outgoing expenses. You do not need formal accounting training for the single-entry system. The single-entry method will suit small private companies and sole proprietorships that do not buy or sell on credit, own little to no physical assets, and hold small amounts of inventory. Double-entry bookkeeping Double-entry bookkeeping is more robust. It follows the principle that every transaction affects at least two accounts, and they are recorded as debits and credits. For example, if you make a sale for $10, your cash account will be debited for $10 and your sales account will be credited by the same amount. In the double-entry system, the total credits must always equal the total debits. When this happens, your books are “balanced.” Using the double-entry method for bookkeeping makes more sense if your business is large, public, or buys and sells on credit. Enterprises often choose the double-entry system because it leaves less room for error. In a way, it ‘double-checks’ your books because each transaction is recorded as two matching but offsetting accounts. Cash-based or accrual-based The next step is choosing between a cash or accrual basis for your bookkeeping. This decision will depend on when your business recognizes its revenue and expenses. In cash-based, you recognize revenue when you receive cash into your business. Expenses are recognized when they are paid for. In other words, any time cash enters or exits your accounts, they are recognized in the books. This means that purchases or sales made on credit will not go into your books until the cash exchanges. In the accrual method, revenue is recognized when it is earned. Similarly, expenses are recorded when they are incurred, usually along with corresponding revenues. The actual cash does not have to enter or exit for the transaction to be recorded. You can mark your sales and purchases made on credit right away. Both a cash and accrual basis can work with single- or double-entry bookkeeping. In general however, the single-entry method is the foundation for cash-based bookkeeping. Transactions are recorded as single entries which are either cash coming in or going out. The accrual basis works better with the double-entry system.

For these reports to portray your business accurately, you must have properly documented records of your transactions. Keeping these records as current as possible is also helpful when reconciling your accounts. Recording transactions begins with source documents like purchase and sales orders, bills, invoices, and cash register tapes. Once you gather these documents, you can record the transactions using journals, ledgers, and the trial balance. If you are a very small company, you may only need a cash register. The information can then be consolidated and turned into financial statements. Cash registers A cash register is an electronic machine that is used to calculate and register transactions. Usually, cash registers are used to record cash flow in stores. The cashier collects the cash for a sale and returns a balance amount to the customer. Both the collected cash and balance returned are recorded in the register as single-entry cash accounts. Cash registers also store transaction receipts, so you can easily record them in your sales journal. Cash registers are commonly found in businesses of all sizes. However, they aren’t usually the primary method of recording transactions because they use the single-entry, cash-based system of bookkeeping. This makes them convenient for very small businesses but too simplistic for enterprises. The journal The journal is called the book of original entry. It is the place where a business chronologically records its transactions for the first time. A journal can be either physical (in the form of a book or diary), or digital (stored as spreadsheets, or data in accounting software). It specifies the date of each transaction, the accounts credited or debited, and the amount involved. While the journal is not usually checked for balance at the end of the fiscal year, each journal entry affects the ledger. As we’ll learn, it is imperative that the ledger is balanced, so keeping an accurate journal is a good habit to keep. This form is useful for double-entry bookkeeping. The ledger A ledger is a book or a compilation of accounts. It is also called the book of second entry. After you enter transactions in a journal, they are classified into separate accounts and then transferred into the ledger. These records are transcribed by accounts in the order: assets, liabilities, equity, income, and expenses. Like the journal, the ledger can also be physical or electronic spreadsheets. A ledger contains a chart of accounts, which is a list of all the names and number of accounts in the ledger. The chart usually occurs in the same order of accounts as the transcribed records. Unlike the journal, ledgers are investigated by auditors, so they must always be balanced at the end of

What is the One Stop Shop? The One Stop Shop (OSS) is an optional quarterly VAT reporting and payment system that’ll be live from July 1, 2021, as part of the EU VAT e-commerce package. This means that you can use the OSS to report and pay VAT on non-domestic B2C sales of the following types across the EU: a) cross-border supplies of services b) online intra-community distance sales of goods (selling VAT-applicable goods located in one EU country to a customer in another EU country) Using the OSS, you can account and pay for VAT across EU with just one return. This is an extension of the Mini One Stop Shop (MOSS) that previously allowed you to file a single EU return for B2C sales of TBE (telecommunication, broadcast, and electronic) services.

What’s the purpose of the OSS? The OSS has been introduced to ease the seller’s burden of having to register for VAT returns in each EU member state where there are customers. With the OSS, there’ll be a single EU VAT return for ecommerce distance selling which the seller can file from their home country. Q. Who can use the OSS? The OSS applies to any business making B2C sales in the EU (including charities and NGOs). Q. What are the different kinds of OSS? There are 2 kinds of OSS: a) Union OSS If your business is established in the EU, you can use the Union OSS to report VAT on intra-community distance sales and non-domestic sales of services to EU customers. If you’re established outside the EU, you can use the Union OSS, but only to report intra-community distance sales of goods. b) Non-Union OSS If your business is not established in the EU, you can use the non-Union OSS to report VAT only on sales of services to EU customers. To do this, you’ll have to register with the tax authority in an EU country of your choice. Note: The pan-European threshold of €10,000 (£8,600) will apply only if you have a fixed establishment (a permanent address from which to make supplies) in an EU state. If you only have a VAT number in an EU country, that won’t be considered a fixed establishment. Q. Is it mandatory to use the OSS or IOSS? Neither is mandatory. However, once you register, you should use the OSS or IOSS (Import One Stop Shop) for all applicable sales to EU customers. If you don’t want to use it, you’ll have to register for, account for, and pay VAT in each EU country you sell to. UK sellers who don’t use the OSS or IOSS will have to zero-rate their exports for domestic VAT (the goods will still be taxable under VAT, but the rate charged will be 0%) and apply VAT for imports.

How is OSS going to affect me as a seller? Starting July 1, 2021, if you’re shipping goods from your home country to customers across the EU, you can use the OSS to report your sales across the EU. When you move from MOSS to the OSS, you can now use it to report any B2C service sale that’s subject to destination VAT, not just telecommunications, broadcasting, and electronic services. If you’re an ecommerce seller, you can close your foreign VAT registrations and, instead, file a quarterly OSS return for your home country’s tax authority. The existing country-specific EU distance selling thresholds will be removed and replaced with a single pan-European threshold of €10,000 (£8,600). Q. What should online marketplaces do about the OSS? Under the VAT e-commerce package, online marketplaces become deemed suppliers. This means that a marketplace can opt to use the OSS to report VAT for intra-community supplies between EU countries. If the marketplace facilitates a domestic supply of goods by a non-EU seller, it can use the Union OSS to report and pay VAT. Q. Which state should I register in? If you want to register for the OSS, you can do so in any EU member state or in the UK, as long as: You’ve registered for VAT in that EU member state, or You’re trading with the EU under the Northern Ireland protocol If you cross the new pan-European threshold of €10,000 (£8,600) and want to use the UK’s OSS, you’ll have to register for VAT in the UK if you haven’t already. Note that if you’re using the OSS, you’ll have to register for VAT even if your overall turnover falls below the the usual UK VAT registration threshold of £85,000. If you don’t want to use the OSS, you don’t need to register for UK VAT, as long as you register and account for VAT in each EU member state to which you’re dispatching goods. Q. When can I register for the OSS? To register for the Union or non-Union OSS, you’ll have to apply and wait until the following quarter for your registration to become effective. So, for instance, if you register after July 1, 2021, your registration will become effective in October 2021 when the next quarter begins. After you’ve applied, you may make supplies before your registration has become effective. If you do so, you’ll have to inform this to the tax authority in the relevant EU member state where you’ve registered. This should be done by the 10th of the month that follows the first supply you made after applying. This supply and the rest that follow will be counted together. For example, if you applied on July 15 for your registration to become effective in October, and you make a supply on July 30, you should inform the tax authority

While their marketing platform relies heavily on brand marketing, WhatsApp appeals to marketers because they can reach their target demographic on a personal basis by sending information one on one.

Long ago, they said “The web should be fast.” When Google speaks, it is important to listen – if you wish to prosper online. Although improving page load speeds can result in better rankings, the other equally important aspect to address is Visitor Experience. There are few people who enjoy watching rust form, and slow to load web pages engender similar feelings… At the same time, through 2016 the average web page size continued to grow, now at 2.33 Megabytes. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] An increase in load time usually results in decreased revenue for e-commerce sites – Amazon say 100ms extra load times costs 1% in revenue!Conversely, making the site faster improves revenue… Website visitors subjected to your slow loading website are far less likely to return, directly impacting your website’s success – and not in a good way! Other indicators that should be positively impacted are bounce rates, visitor retention times, repeat visitor rates. As part of all my small business web design packages, page load speed optimisation is addressed. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] How to Improve Website Performance? When you start considering how to improve website loading speed, there are multiple elements to examine. Having a plan of attack helps immensely. The following strategy is how a freelance NZ website designer should approach the task; [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Benchmark – run performance tests on any/all of the services listed below. Copy and save the results. This will be the base measurement against which you judge the results of the improvement work you will do. Caching – assuming you have not yet installed a caching system, that is the next step. If using WordPress, start with the $39 WP Rocket Cache because it delivers better performance than it’s competitors. * Plugins – Godaddy produced the P3 Plugin Profiler to determine what plugins are hogging resources. If you have any greedy plugins, either find a light-weight replacement. Deactivate and delete plugins that are not mission-critical. Image Sizes – make sure they are sized correctly and compressed appropriately. Specify image pixel height and width so that text content can flow around the image space before images load. Use a “lazy load” plugin to only display images as they enter the viewport. (Some caching plugins include lazy load) Home Page: are you opening a basket full of recent posts, top 10 posts, posts from various categories, comments, featured pages? That is database-intensive content which quickly adds up in terms of total database requests.

Fortunately, the web offers a plethora of measurement services. It is important to remember that there are lots of variables, such as; [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Location of the test server vs location of your website Connection – dial-up, cable, ADSL, unthrottled etc Because of this, results do vary between the various measuring services. Don’t worry about the inconsistencies, just focus on the overall load speed trends. Here are the most popular testing platforms; [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Pingdom: performance checks from multiple locations; http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/ GT Metrix: a free website speed checking system by a Canadian hosting company: http://gtmetrix.com Dotcom Tools: website load speed tests across multiple countries: https://www.dotcom-tools.com/website-speed-test.aspx Web Page Test: http://www.webpagetest.org Sucuri Performance: performance checks from multiple locations; http://performance.sucuri.net/ [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] BENCHMARK WEBSITE PERFORMANCE Run the initial test on 3 or 4 services before you start making changes. The process makes more sense if you; Note exactly what you did to optimize website performance Record the result each time you check page load time… Generally, work on two pages – Home page and an internal page – to monitor page load times after each stage. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Reduce Website Load Speed with Caching There is no disputing the dramatic benefits that a good caching system can deliver. User of the popular WordPress CMS system are spoiled for choice with caching plugins. W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache and Quick Cache are three I’ve used extensively. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”]These days, as part of WordPress tech Support services, I use WP Rocket Cache on all sites I build and/or provide website maintenance services on. I purchased a Developers Licence for WP-Rocket in order to provide it to all clients. For non-WordPress sites, caching systems may also be available, depending on the CMS you are using. Even if that”s not possible, there are still many opportunities to minimise load times! Implementing Gzip file compression can usually be done in the .htaccess file, and you can certainly tackle image file sizes! [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Plugins – Impact on Page Load Time Not all plugins are beneficial to performance. A plugin has a quantifiable impact on page load speed, page file sizes and database requests. Indeed, some add hundreds of lines of code to every page, and trigger high volumes of database requests. This can cripple “shared hosting” web servers, and some hosting companies have banned such plugins. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] The worst culprits are invariably broken link checkers and related content generators. PLUGIN PROFILER Use Godaddy’s P3 Plugin Profiler to determine which plugins on your site are burning up the most resources. The pie-chart graphics show clearly; % of resources consumed by plugins in total % of resources consumed by each plugin Should any plugin be consuming a much bigger wedge, consider the alternatives. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”]Two for One Plugins: In some cases, a plugin serves a dual purpose, allowing you to achieve a couple of desirable outcomes without increasing consumption of resources. An example might be a social widget that offers both Like buttons and Follow links to your social media business pages. multiple purposes. Be very careful of Jetpack – it is the Swiss Army knife of plugins but is very resource-hungry! [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text

A slow website can cost you a loss in web traffic, poor website rankings, low conversion rate, dramatic loss in online visibility on search engines and have an overall negative impact on the business’s success. On the contrary, a fast loading website can engage your customers in your website and improve your website rankings, traffic and sales. There are certain elements that affect your website performance which are not in your control on the WIX platform such as CDN’s, https requests, server response time and scripts embedded by default into the CMS back-end systems but there is still plenty that you can do on your WIX website to improve its overall speed performance and make it perform super fast like any other high speed website (using any other platform such as wordpress, weebly, squarespace or hosted on an independent hosting provider) on the internet. In this article we are going to address some of the most common mistakes and how you can avoid them and improve your website speed. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] There are several websites that allow you to run a free test and check your website speed in real-time – some examples are below: ? Google Page Speed Insights Gtmetrix Webpagetest Pingdom [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px|||||”] 16 Top Tips to Increase Page Speed of Your WIX Website: ?Homepage should be simple and clean: The homepage is the gateway to your website and it should be simple and clean. Avoid using too many images, animations and videos on your homepage; do not make it overly long and deliver a precise message about your products and services through text on the homepage. A clear message delivered through meticulous catchy text can engage your customers in your website homepage and force them to stick to your website to explore it further. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Follow top to bottom rule: When people enter your website, the first section that loads is the top part of your website. A website generally loads from top to bottom therefore placing easy to load content on the top part of the page is good practise. You can place images, videos, animations or any apps in the bottom part of the page (although it is advisable not to use too many videos, images or apps on your website or on individual pages). The point is that the top part loads quickly and engages your customers while the rest of the page (bottom part) loads. We would recommend to display the most important information related to the page that customers need to know on the top part of the page, which can engage your customers while the bottom part loads. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Do not overload your webpages with images, animations & videos: Videos, large size images and animations take extra time to load due to their heavy bandwidth, and can slow down your website speed and cause speed performance issues. When using videos, images or animations make sure you use them in moderation and carry out real-time testing while developing your website pages to see what impact they have on your page speed. While using and embedding external videos from YouTube, Vimeo and Facebook into your website, be aware of the impact of loading time of these videos on your website. Although videos and animations look attractive to use, you should think about their impact on your website speed before using them. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Optimise the mobile version of your website: One of the major benefits of using WIX CMS is that it allows you to edit your mobile site and make changes to the mobile version separately. The mobile editor can dramatically improve your mobile site speed. You can hide large size images, videos, animations, photo galleries, iFrames or any other large size elements in the mobile editor separately, without hiding them in the desktop version on a WIX site. Therefore the WIX mobile version allows you to hide elements while keeping the same elements visible in the desktop version. Also, try to make your mobile site clean, simple and not to make individual pages overly lengthy. Deliver a concise message to engage your audience on your mobile site. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Compress images and use the right format: You can use free compression tools to compress your website images for better performance before uploading them on your WIX website. WIX states that it automatically compresses your images to WebP image format. WebP is a new image compression format by Google. WIX has clearly stated that it prefers JPEG files for images over PNG files because JPEG images load faster than PNG while retaining the same level of quality, and JPEG images are more web optimised as well. There are several free tools available online to convert PNG images to JPEG file format. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Use font cleverly on the webpages: It is always advisable to use popular web fonts on your website such as Helvetica, Times, Arial, Futura because they are already cached in most web browsers, and having a popular font on your website means you are automatically improving your website speed to a certain extent. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”] Prefer text over images or animations: Everybody knows text loads faster than images, animations & video, therefore using text over images and other media is always advisable to improve the speed of your website. You can easily deliver your message through text and engage your audience while the rest of your website loads. As we all know, Google and other search engines love informative text as it helps SEO and establishes website relevance to user queries. So using text in a professional manner over images can not only increase your website speed but also help to improve your rankings on Google and other search

The amount of traffic doesn’t matter, it is you who decides whether or not to use cloud services. Do you really want to go through the struggle of building a server room for your application with regular maintenance or just use a cloud service. But the advantage of using cloud services is elastic scaling which means you can add and remove servers based on your needs, in you case based on traffic. The major benefits of using cloud services are elastic scaling, no restrictions on backend technology stack ( I’ve noticed some web hosting companies have restrictions) and you can see what’s going on in your server as you’ll have access to it and you can debug in case if there is a problem. Basically using cloud services is like building a server farm without worrying about the hardware maintenance.
