Ideally, your website should load in 22 seconds, but according to latest statistics people wait for just 3 seconds to load your website on their mobile. Amazon has reported for every 100 milliseconds they speed up their website, their revenue increases by 1%.
Therefore, website loading speed is important for you and the following are the tips to do so:
(1) Website Hosting: Check the response of various web hosting company and choose the one providing minimum loading time.
(2) Selection of Theme: Recently you may find many SEO experts gets frustrated because their client's website looks beautiful but performs terribly from a speed prescriptive. I would suggest to use Wordpress themes and see your site loading within 5-10 seconds.
(3) Images and Videos: Compress your images. Remember to reduce the size of the image without losing its visual quality. Try to put fewer videos or few but short videos.
(4) Clear your database.
(5) Check Links: Check and remove broken links.
