That is websites with various visual elements that are considered attractive, including large headers, sliders, and widgets.<\/p>\n<p>However, you need to avoid themes that offer these things for business websites.\u00a0The more complex your website pages are, the longer they will load.\u00a0Especially if visitors access it from a mobile browser and the connection is not that good.<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention, not all of the visual elements can be displayed properly on various screen sizes.\u00a0Visitors might even find the website in a messy condition and leave it.<\/p>\n<p>This is the reason why you should choose a website theme that is simple in appearance but is still able to attract visitors.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Installing_Too_Many_Plugins\"><\/span><strong>3. Installing Too Many Plugins<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Plugins make it easy for you to add features to your website. From simple ones like share buttons to social media to complex ones like page builders and purchase checkouts.<\/p>\n<p>So, no matter how simple, plugins eat up the server bandwidth. Plus if the plugins you are using are not updated or compatible with the CMS version. This will further slow down website performance.<\/p>\n<p>For the reasons above, you must install a plugin that is always updated.\u00a0In addition, also take into account what plugins are really needed.\u00a0Don&#8217;t let too many plugins be on your website.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Installing_Too_Many_Ads\"><\/span><strong>4.

Install Responsive Themes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Before responsive themes became trending, website owners had to create two desktop and mobile versions for their sites.<\/p>\n<p>Automatically, this method requires the website owner to create a redirect from the desktop website URL to the mobile URL.<\/p>\n<p>Although trivial, unfortunately, redirects also affect the loading speed of the website.<\/p>\n<p>Well, a responsive theme provides a display that can adapt to different screen sizes.\u00a0With it, all you have to do is create a version of your website that looks neat and loads fast.\u00a0Both on desktop and mobile.<\/p>\n<p>You need to remember that not all WordPress themes are responsive.\u00a0To find responsive themes, you can click\u00a0<strong>Appearance&gt; Themes<\/strong>\u00a0in the WordPress sidebar.\u00a0Then, click\u00a0<strong>Add New<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5569 \" title=\"Install Responsive Themes\" src=\"https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Install-Responsive-Themes.png\" alt=\"Install Responsive Themes\" width=\"649\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Install-Responsive-Themes.png 946w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Install-Responsive-Themes-300x116.png 300w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Install-Responsive-Themes-768x297.png 768w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Install-Responsive-Themes-150x58.png 150w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Install-Responsive-Themes-696x269.png 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 649px) 100vw, 649px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On the theme search page, type the keyword &#8220;responsive&#8221; in the search bar.\u00a0You will find thousands of responsive themes here.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5570 \" title=\"Install Responsive Themes 1\" src=\"https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Install-Responsive-Themes-1-1024x398.png\" alt=\"Install Responsive Themes 1\" width=\"652\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Install-Responsive-Themes-1-1024x398.png 1024w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Install-Responsive-Themes-1-300x117.png 300w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Install-Responsive-Themes-1-768x299.png 768w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Install-Responsive-Themes-1-150x58.png 150w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Install-Responsive-Themes-1-696x271.png 696w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Install-Responsive-Themes-1-1068x415.png 1068w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Install-Responsive-Themes-1-1080x420.png 1080w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Install-Responsive-Themes-1.png 1188w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 652px) 100vw, 652px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Avoid_Pop-ups\"><\/span><strong>2. Avoid Pop-ups<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Banners or\u00a0pop-up\u00a0forms\u00a0are often used on desktop websites.\u00a0For example, for promotions or\u00a0email list forms.<\/p>\n<p>However, the use of pop-ups on mobile websites should be avoided.\u00a0Why?\u00a0With a mobile device screen that is far small, the appearance of a pop-up will actually cover the content of the website.<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention if the pop-up is difficult to close.\u00a0Visitors might get upset and leave the website.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Take_Advantage_of_AMP\"><\/span><strong>3. Take Advantage of AMP<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>AMP or accelerated mobile pages is the way Google recommends making mobile websites load faster.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from enabling caching in mobile browsers, AMP has several other functions, namely:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Limits image resolution<\/li>\n<li>Change the image format to fit the display of the mobile device<\/li>\n<li>Lower image quality<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thus, AMP reduces the page size of the website significantly.\u00a0Besides loading so fast, visitors&#8217; internet quota is also more efficient.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Show_Simple_Menu\"><\/span><strong>4. Show Simple Menu<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>On desktop websites, you can display many website elements thanks to the large screen resolution.<\/p>\n<p>An example is the main page of the TechMaina blog, where you can see navigation menus, search bars, and social media account link icons.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5572 \" title=\"Show Simple Menu\" src=\"https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Show-Simple-Menu.jpg\" alt=\"Show Simple Menu\" width=\"650\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Show-Simple-Menu.jpg 700w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Show-Simple-Menu-300x155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Show-Simple-Menu-150x78.jpg 150w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Show-Simple-Menu-696x360.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, mobile device screens are too small to display these elements. As a result, you have to simplify the menu for the mobile website. An example is the mobile <a href=\"https:\/\/techmaina.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">version of the TechMaina<\/a> blog below.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5573 \" title=\"Show Simple Menu 1\" src=\"https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Show-Simple-Menu-1-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Show Simple Menu 1\" width=\"500\" height=\"889\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Show-Simple-Menu-1-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Show-Simple-Menu-1-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Show-Simple-Menu-1-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Show-Simple-Menu-1-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Show-Simple-Menu-1-150x267.jpg 150w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Show-Simple-Menu-1-300x533.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Show-Simple-Menu-1-696x1237.jpg 696w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Show-Simple-Menu-1-1068x1899.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Show-Simple-Menu-1-236x420.jpg 236w, https:\/\/techmaina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Show-Simple-Menu-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In this mobile version, the TechMaina blog only displays a list of posts. The header is also very small.<\/p>\n<p>There is a logo in the middle, a menu button in the left corner, and a search button in the right corner.<\/p>\n<p>All the navigation menus you saw earlier on the desktop version are hidden inside this button.<\/p>\n<p>So, you can give an example of the trick to simplify the design of this website. Not only so that the website is easy to understand, but also to speed uploading.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from these four methods, there are still other tips you can do to make your website optimized for mobile devices.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ready_to_Speed_%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8BUp_Website_Loading\"><\/span><strong>Ready to Speed \u200b\u200bUp Website Loading?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is highly recommended that you speed to upload the website.
