If there are many pictures in the blog pages, optimizing the image by reducing the size of the file. In the browser Internet Explorer / Firefox, you can right click on the images on the blog page to see the "Properties". If more than 10KB in size, you can change the size.

All information displayed in the gadget itself is taken from the owner of the site server. If there are gadgets that are not necessary, just delete the gadget.

Width & height tags

Figure & tables in various sizes. If we determine the value dimensions on images, code tables, the browser can manage the space allocated for pictures & tables as well as the rest of contents. If we do not determine its value, the browser must load the entire contents of the table / drawing before moving to the other.

JavaScript & external script

<script type="text/javascript">

Statcounters & ad server, like Google Adsense uses Javascript. Maybe in your blog there are third-party gadgets that use scripts to activate the content. Keep an eye on your blog & gadgets. If there are gadgets that makes loading a long blog, consider to remove it or find another provider.

Clean HTML

<div> </ div>
<font> </ font>
<b> </ b>
Addons </ i>

Then you need to check the link in your blog once a week, once a month or up to you. You can use the Broken Link Checker "http://validator.w3.org/checklink".

Content

If your blog loading time is too long, try to show 1-3 posts on the main page. Login & go to Settings> Formatting. In the first option, change the "Show 1 post" (if you want 1 entry only). In default mode, 7 entries displayed on the main page. If you are a long article, you can display only some of the content on the main page.
