1.Well thought-out usage of photos and videos. Heavy images and videos slow down the load time. Use

them only if required.
2.CSS and JavaScript should be positioned in external files, this greatly influences the page load time.

To reduce big sized images, save them "as for web". Be smart in using your videos, it's one reason to slow the website speed.

Nowadays Google does not like the sites that takes long time to load! You should not use too many pictures and videos for your them!

Nice collection of tips.Itis indeed a very important area to perform . A longer time to download is not tolerated by the visitors to the site and also by the google

The images thing is a good tip. I have seen many sites use images that have not been cut down in file size, many images can be shrunk which makes a huge different to both the website load speed and your bandwidth savings.

Also heaving powerful dedicated hosting helps a lot. One another not mentioned thing could be reducing php database queries where it is possible by replacing them with static information.

This one is important, since more and more visitors come from mobile phones and PDA, I have to find way to reduce the size of images on my website.

look at java preload., this will load all files etc before loading the page, and cache them

When someone visits your website, the corresponding files must be sent to that person’s browser. This includes CSS files, Javascript library references, and images... Great resources !

Caching with reverse proxies does a great way to improve speed.
