1. Minimize interactions with the database:

In order to fix a slow loading website always avoid to put a Java applet or other code in an HTML page where there is a problem regarding versatility. In other words avoid putting up Java applets or HTML pages where there is a doubt whether they will work with different browsers/platforms or not. This problem can further be resolved by minimizing interactions with the database, resolving all database calls and simply displaying the data in HTML on the page. In case an interaction with the database is mandatory, select only on indexed fields.

2. Diagnose errors in your code:

Errors in a code can be diagnosed using services such as WC3’s Markup Validation service. Also, you can use valid HTML or XHTML to enable the browser to process the code more efficiently.

3. Employ a Content Delivery Network:

Content delivery networks such as Akamai, MaxCDN, allow you to load images and other files offsite from different servers. So, these networks can be employed to fix a slow loading website.

4. Use an efficient web host:

Using a high performance web host is necessary considering the fact that most web hosting companies try to cram as many customers as they can onto a server, which is great for company profit but not for customer performance. If your site is hosted on a shared hosting account, your site is on a server with a number of other sites. To overcome this issue, you may consider upgrading to a VPS hosting plan or a dedicated server account if you have the budget.

5. Install a caching plug- in:

Some sections of a website never change. These sections are static in nature and include stylesheets, JavaScript files, basic HTML pages, footers, menu etc. This static content can be cached. Networks such as Cloudflare let you cache pages at different data centers across the globe which means that delivery of static content is sent from the closest location to your site visitor. Moreover web content served from across the globe has an impact on performance as when you serve content closer to their location, it speeds up your site for those users.
