Download Speed - The download speed can affect how fast
a webpage can load on the user's computer. If the user's download speed is slow
then the download speed of the webpage will be slower. The faster the download
speed, the faster the webpage will load. When I create my own website I will
take the download speed into consideration by using less images and videos so
that the webpage will load quicker. I will make sure that each web page will
take as little time to load so that the users are not wasting time waiting for
lots of images to load.
PC Performance - The PC Performance can affect how fast
a webpage can load. There are many factors that contribute the the PC
performance including; web browser, cache memory and the processor speed. The
web browser can change how your PC loads web pages as most require plug-ins to
be downloaded onto the computer before the webpage can be accessed. The cache
memory and processor can cause issues especially when you are using an old
computer. This is because these cannot be updated past a certain date therefore
new quicker software cannot be used. When creating my website, I will
take into PC Performance into consideration as people may not have an up to
date computer. Also the processor could be quite slow therefore will take a
while to load. When creating my website I will try to use very few files so
that my web page will load faster.
Web Server Capacity -
The web server
capacity affects how fast/slow a web page will load on a user’s computer. If
the user’s web server capacity has a small bandwidth capacity, this will mean
that the web page will load at a slower pace. To put this into a simpler way,
an example of this would be a small local corner shop compared to a worldwide
company such as Wal-Mart. When I make my website I will ensure that it is basic
so that minimal bandwidth is used. This will also mean that my web page will
load at an average rate on most computers.
File Types – How fast a webpage loads on a computer
depends on the file types you use. Some of the file types which computers load
include JPEG and GIF. Other file types may require additional plug-ins to be
installed onto the computer for example Adobe Flash Player. Once this has been
installed, the web page will then be able to load. When I create my website I
will take the file type into consideration so that it can be accessed by most
users. Also I will try and make it accessible without having to use any
additional plug-ins.
