01Jul How long does it take your blog to load?
Okay…that’s it! I am going to change my Wordpress theme again. Had been meaning to do it but never find time to sit down and concentrate.
Six months ago, I use a theme that has only 123kb and hence, it takes a short time to load. Now, my theme is taking a long time to load and sometimes, I need to refresh before they load properly. My current theme has 806kb. This is bad news….
I am either going to Wayback machine and see which theme I was using then or I shall go ’steal’ the same Wordpress theme from those whose blogs were listed way down on PimpMyPageRank list of fastest loading blogs.
Booyeah!
Thanks, Pimp for that little comparison list! Ouch, Pimp sounds so wrong and so does Mom on the make money blogosphere. Hehehe. Without Doubt the best SEO blog in the World.
List of Make Money blogs and their page load in KB.
And if you need to ask, “Why does pageload matters?”
Of course, it is very important! People will just go elsewhere if your site takes too long to load. Who has time to sit and wait for your blog to appear? So, go for simplicity. Anyone knows a nice, clean, light, bright Wordpress theme which is free, free, free?

Your site loads just as fast as ever for me, but I’m sure people with slower connections are feeling it. Loading times are definitely important!
