Bad example: Five steps to make your website slow down

Of course, we all want to provide a satisfying user experience for our website visitors. We also hate it when competitors use our poor performance as an excuse. Of course, we are also happy to see customers actively like our services on various social platforms. Comrades, empty talk will ruin the country, while hard work will make it prosperous. Let's learn from the following five bad practices right away.

HTTP Request

The best way to slow down a site is to make too many requests. Sprites, cascading JavaScript, and CSS files all speed things up - to slow everything down, we need to find a way to make 700 or 800 requests instead of 70 or 80.

Text compression and simplicity is better than complexity

Do you compress your text? If you do, don't. Compressing text will only make it faster, not improve the user experience. However, don't deny all compression methods. You can compress binary files and images such as JPEG. Double compression of files can effectively slow down the site's response speed. If you have done the above points, don't forget to add as much space and comments as possible in JavaScript and CSS files - after all, users may always view these codes, so improving readability while slowing down the operation is the best of both worlds, right?

Keep-Alive

If you are using keep-alive, please turn it off immediately! To keep the site sluggish, we have to keep opening new connections on the browser and each connection contains hundreds of requests.

JavaScript synchronous loading

Do you really want to slow down your website? Here's a ruthless trick - load and execute JavaScript code at the same time. This means that if a JavaScript file is in a pending state, everything on the page will not load. With this trick, you can definitely keep your website visitors coming back for more.

image

Add images, the bigger and clearer the better. Use full 120,000 pixel images and never compress them. In this era of high definition, users should enjoy high-quality images with every pore visible.

These five tips are just some basic hints. You can also choose other methods to make your website look silly - of course, use creative ways.
