Recently I went to buy groceries from the market looking for peas. Unfortunately I couldn't find any in my favourite kiosk. As I was talking the mama mboga (grocery lady) the lady in the next kiosk had overheard me asking for peas and she told me to check a kiosk behind where they were selling.
Nothing out of the ordinary about that even though she was not gaining anything from telling me where to buy the peas. All the while my usual mama mboga never said a word though she knew where I could get the peas and this struck me as odd. She didn't think I would change shops if I went to the other shop did she? Perhaps not, but the other mama mboga's action left an impression on me.

Statistics show that, without a compelling reason, the average user will not wait for much more than 10 seconds for a page to load. So does that explain why your visitors seem to spend less than 5 seconds in your site? Probably your site is taking too long to load thus putting off visitors.
As you design your site, loading time should always be a priority if your site is to be an effective business tool. Balancing usability and aesthetics is a delicate matter when creating a fast loading site. You can have a colourful website but takes ages to load while on the other hand you can design a simple site that loads faster than you can brink. Below are 10 tips and tricks that I have found very useful that you can use while designing your fast loading website.

Web development has evolved rapidly in the last couple of years and keeps on changing everyday. For many years, static or brochure websites based solely on HTML and CSS was the standard but that has changed. The need for fresh, constantly changing content and easy management of content has created a demand for content management systems.
