As a user, you will always want to open the blog or website which is loading speed, that means that the blog is open quickly. You do not have to wait 10 sec, 15 sec to read the information given on it.   Today, users have no patience for websites with poor load speeds or performance. If your blog takes more time to load, people will move to another blog by pressing the back button from your blog.  In addition to Visitors, Search Engine also likes the blog whose loading time is low, so in today's post, I am going to tell you how to increase the loading speed of Blog Spot blog. Importance of Website Load Time Since 2010, Google has added page load speed to its ranking algorithm. The faster your website loads, the more it is the user experience. In 2010, Google said that only 1% of search engine results were affected by the page speed ranking signal. Google has also clarified this, if your content is the best, slow load time will not affect your ranking much.

Note: The intent of the search query is still a very strong signal, so a slow page may still rank highly if it has great, relevant content.

Not only in the search engine ranking but also in user experience I have too much importance of Page Speed. One study has found that 40% of web users will not go back to that website, if that site loads, it takes longer than 4 seconds. More than 47% of internet users expect a web page to be loaded within 2 seconds.

Keeping this in mind, you have to optimize your blog in such a way as to reduce its load time.

So far we have come to know that our blog has to reduce the loading speed, but first of all how to check the speed of our site or how to find out what our site's loading speed is?

With so many pugins in WordPress blog that make our work easy, Blogger is Google's service on which we do not have access and there are limited features. To improve the loading speed of your BlogSpot blog, you have to follow all the tips below as well.

1: Use Fast Loading Template

The speed of your blog depends largely on you, which theme / template you have used. On the Internet you will find many free and paid templates but before using template you must definitely review whether it is SEO friendly, fast loading, mobile friendly or not. When you create a blog, select a good template and use the same template for a long time, because repeated changes to the template in the search engine ranking and it has many other risks.

2: Remove Unwanted Widgets

Whenever you upload a template to your Blogger blog by default, many widgets like search box, archive, visitors count, tags, featured post etc will appear in the sidebar and footer. The more widgets you use, the effect will also be on your loading speed. So you should use only the widgets which are more important such as recent post, popular post, social media follow button and category. I also use some of these select widgets in the sidebar in my blog, besides, I do not use any widgets in the footer as well.

3: Minimum Post on Homepage

The speed of the Home page and content page of Blog changes, you reduce the number of post to reduce the speed of the home page. I would recommend to show you 5-6 post.

To change the number of posts being displayed on the Blogger homepage, you can go to blogger setting and click on Post, comment and sharing. assign post to

4: Compress Images

Images take a lot of bandwidth to be loaded, due to this the loading speed of your blog is reduced. You can increase the speed of the blog by up to 50% by simply optimizing images or compressing them. For image compression you will find many tools online such as CompressJPEG, ImageOptimizer, compressor.io but I use the PersonalTinyPNG tool. Using these tools, you can compress images to 70-80%, but this will not affect the quality of your images. How much is the size of the main image (KB or MB) in the blog post? Ideally, the smaller the size of the image, it is good for your blog speed, but within the blog post, you try to keep the image size at maximum 50kb.

5: Avoid Too Many Ads

Too much ads can slow down your site. Generally, in order to show advertisements within the post on the blogger, you have to put an AdSense Ad unit in every post, this ad is made of JavaScript, so using more ads will slow the loading speed of your blog.

6: Use Minimum CSS and JS

Use at least javascript and CSS on your blog, therefore do not use unnecessary popup, subscriber widget, Facebook like widget, Twitter timeline widget such as heavy JavaScript, CSS code.

7: Compress codes

By compressing the JavaScript, HTML, CSS code you are using in your blog, you can improve the blog speed. An uncompressed code may be nice to look at you, but it causes the webpage to load slowly for users. You can compress your blog's code using the HTML Compressor tool. Once the code is compressed, this site will show you how much size you have saved. This site will notify you if any changes to your code are necessary. You can use the Code Beautifier tool to restore your compress code again.

You must follow the tips given above to increase your blog's loading speed. Along with improving your blog speed, you will be able to increase the bounce rate, search traffic and earning too.
