Cdn hosting or not?

[Martinqq]

Hi guys the question is the next. I just launched a new website. The website is built on Wordpress and we have made every effort to make it load faster. I have enabled the right caching and reduced the file size.
Still, some similar sites have lower load times. Is a CDN a good answer? I've read articles demonstrating that cdn decreased a websites rankings. Even found this one to try. Is there a better CDN to use?

Thank you in advance.

The two biggest ones I know of are Amazon AWS and Akamai. Amazon is probably the better option for small websites.


What helps the most is inlaying small images in websites and linking them to the full image. Using the size parameters in CSS/HTML scales the image down for displaying but the entire image still has to be downloaded to show it so it doesn't improve performance.

Additionally, picking the lossless (PNG) and lossy (JPG) formats for the content also really helps. Lossless is great for images that have large areas of solid colors where lossy is better for everything else.

Beware of JavaScript. It can not only slow a website loading, it can halt it entirely. Only use JavaScript where absolutely necessary.
