Railgun and Auto-Minify in Cloudflare – Their Role in Web Page Load Speed (CaseStudy) The importance of web page loading speed can be seen in Google rankings. The holy grail of every web site and blog is to reduce the page load speed to below 3 secs. As you have seen in my other case-study, a 1 second delay in loading speed can take away millions of dollars or even billions. Bloggers who are using WordPress know the importance of web page optimization. If they can reduce the number of JS,CSS, HTML, Images and other scripts during the loading of a web page, they can drastically reduce the loading speed of a page. But it’s not possible always. There has to be a balance between user experience and speed optimization. If you want better look and feel of your page, the number of requests and resources will definitely increase. This again becomes a burden on the server and increases the page loading time. This is where cache mechanism and CDN (Content delivery network) play a major role in web site loading speed optimization. These two methods can improve the efficiency of loading time and can serve your static files from the nearest locations. For example, an effective CDN if has a server close to the Asian region, the users from Singapore, India and Bangladesh will see a quick loading of their pages.
