Website Content Optimization – Monitor Your Load Speed

Much More Than a Fast Ping Response

With website assets increasing in size and complexity, content optimization is where the greatest web performance benefits can be realized. Pingdom offers tools to help you identify where optimizations can be made. Website functionality depends on scripts and style sheets, but if they’re too slow, visitors will go elsewhere. Pingdom analyzes every script on your page and provides an accurate record of execution time, giving you a baseline against which to make improvements.

Asset Load Time Insights

Rich media is increasingly important to the user experience, but large files significantly impair page load speeds. Pingdom provides insight into every image and video, identifying what assets could be better optimized to increase page responsiveness without reducing functionality.

The Pingdom filmstrip feature captures the entire page process visually to create a navigable timeline of every event during rendering. You can watch in slow motion to see in exactly which order the assets load and how long each takes to render. Use these insights to correct the page load order and display the most important elements to your visitors first.

Performance Metrics at a Glance

Pingdom provides the metrics you need to understand website speed, including overall load time, number of requests, and page size. And to help ensure you have a benchmark to provide some context for the results, we also show how your site ranks according to the Yslow performance matrix. Pingdom also helps you monitor critical site transactions, so you can get alerted to performance bottlenecks and start troubleshooting immediately.

Analyze the History of Website Improvements

Pingdom retains a full history of every performance test. You can easily prove the success of your website optimization strategy by creating a report showing the results of your incremental improvements over time. Using Pingdom insights, you can expand your content optimization strategy, prioritizing tasks effectively and identifying where additional funding and development is required. The more accurate your data, the more accurate your strategic decision making will be.
