Poll : How’s The Loading Speed Of MyBlog2Day?

by Lee Ka Hoong on October 13, 2009

Hostgator is pretty good and I’m satisfied with the performance. I noticed that most of my readers said that this blog loaded faster than usual after switching to Hostgator, that’s pretty cool and this was my purpose of switching web hosting, my intention is to give the best experience for my readers while visiting and reading my blog. As you know, having slow loading speed in your blog would really piss off your readers.

When it comes to make money online, you need huge traffic, especially Google search engine traffic, if your blog is loading slow, visitors will simply click on the “exit” button after waiting for a long time, they have no chance to see the page as well as your Adsense ads or any products. You can’t keep a visitor to stay longer in your blog, how can you earn money online?

This blog was down while transferring to Hostgator, the traffic dropped 95% as I mentioned in previous post. Now, the traffic is back to normal and even better than usual, this means that reliable web hosting does really help in boosting your traffic. If you’re having slow loading speed with your current web hosting, you should really consider switching to Hostgator. It worth the money you pay!

It’s fast man! Except that the sidebar is slow a bit. The main content loads super fast, though.

And lee, one more thing. You can use http://tools.pingdom.com to test the loading speed of any websites. You can see which element takes the slowest or the fastest to load.

I think a good loading speed should be 4 seconds.

@Gloson,
Too bad, my blog takes 26 seconds to load. I notice that the sidebar slows down the loading speed but I couldn’t figure out what is the main problem, I’m still trying to resolve it. Do you have any idea Gloson?

Anyway, thanks for sharing the tool! :)

I thought your blog loaded great. I moved blogengage to a dedicated server and never got another complaint e-mail yet. I’m assuming it’s going well. It’s amazing how a slow website will limit your website growth. I cannot believe the impact it has.

Congrats on the new server man!

@bbrian,
Thanks for dropping by and cast a vote bbrian! I believe that Hostgator will be doing their works since they charge higher price compares to other web hosting, but it definitely worth for the price. I didn’t know a slow website will limit a website growth too, but that’s the fact, my traffic is increased after switching to Hostgator, obviously. :D

Can you do me a favor. You have the incorrct e-mail in your Subscribe to comments e-mail. It has to be admin@myblog2day.com or webmaster@myblog2day.com see when I get your e-mails hot mail hides them. Go into your wp-admin, select subscribe to comments option, change e-mail to a domain e-mail. This will fix the issue.

Hi,

I am new to your blog so I can’t compare the speed time. However, it loads quite normal and it sounds good. Would you like to share what improvement you made for getting it load faster? (if there are any you made)

Can you checkout the load time for my blog? http://www.cyberdesignz.com/blog

@Web Designing,
Hey thanks for taking some times here. I have nothing to share to get it loads faster since I just move it to Hostgator, Hostgator does all the works for me. But there is some other methods which we can use to decrease the loading time, perhaps I’ll share it in coming days.

Anyway, your blog loads pretty fast. :)

23 Web Designing (3 comments.) October 15, 2009 at 2:48 am

That’s great, means you moved to a good host. I was also planning to switch my host but due to some reasons I postponed it. In future I might be changing…so the hostgator is good one!

I am changing several things over my blog and website to get it load faster by means of reducing the graphics stuff and optimizing the flash animations.

Thank you taking time out to check my blog.

@Web Designing,
Excessive of graphics stuff would slow down the blog loading speed, it’ better to reduce it, your blog loads fast. :)
You should change to Hostgator, I believe that you will like the features, as well as their technical services, that’s what i love. Mail me if you want to get the best deal while signing up Hostgator. :D

Hey KaHoongChai,

Hostgator works really fast, and that’s why I have planned to switch to it,as it will help me a lot in getting good traffic as you have stated.

The loading speed matters greatly as it is the only way you can make the readers go through most of content with ease.

well.. based on experience .. i think your blog load faster.. not extremely fast but i think this is enough for people with broadband speed internet connection. if i have something to suggest you.. i think you need to choose other ” blue color ” for your background ” the reason is , since your blog has become more powerful then you need to make it look more ” Powerful ” , you need more “serious color” lee. trust me !

Hmm..I’m not good in designing, and I agree with what you’re saying, what do you think about the color that I should use for my background? Any suggestion?

As I said in my previous comment on your article “MyBlog2Day Is Hosted In Hostgator Now!”..I already said that it has become damn too fast than earlier..Even you use .php in your URL which sometimes loads slowly but it’s not happening in your case.

Hi Lee,
I think its faster than before. But Gloson is right. Sidebars get loaded slightly later. I am sure you are really happy with results.

@Chris,
Yea I realize the same thing too, I’m trying to figure out. I think it’s the footer’s problem instead of sidebar because footer loads before sidebar. I need to modify my footer and see how’s it going. Thanks for telling me Chris, as well as Gloson, I appreciate it! :)

This one should come under the category of fast.

I though you added some fast download plugin but after reading your post I realised that this is the magic of Hostgator.
