Improvements To Server Side Factors Influencing Website Performance

# data[].attributes.body
For data heavy multimedia features e.g. videos, you can enable the user to download the feature in segments when scrolling rather tan as the web page is opened.

# data[].attributes.body
Different file types can affect the websites performance, such as a large amount of PNG and MP3 traffic can slow down and even crash the server if they are not able to support the large amount of traffic.

# data[].attributes.body
File Type can influence performance of the website because all types of files have to be formatted to the best format to ensure faster loading and displaying of the website to the users screen. The image file type can be bitmap, vector, jpg and gif, but the best for the website will be the gif type because it ensures a smaller size of images and fast loading.

Processor

The processor will affect the performance as if your processor is slow then it will take longer for the computer to load and display the webpage, as the computer processor needs to process the data. Also if you are running more than one website at a time, for example a music website and a social networking site, then this is where a fast processor is necessary to handle both tasks, keeping performance levels high.

File types and sizes determine the speed of the website. Files or images that are quite large can slow the website.

Number of hits - The number of hits is the number of people accessing the website. If a large amount of people are accessing the website at the same time this can result in some users being unable to access the site until connections are available. If the number of incoming requests to access a server is too high the server may crash.

# data[].attributes.body
Bandwidth is the amount of data traffic that can be downloaded from a website per second. This data traffic works the same in that if they are lots of people downloading from a website at once the download speed will be slower because each user will have a cap on the amount of data they can download at once.

The number of hits is the number of people accessing the website. If a large amount of people are accessing the website at the same time this can result in some users being unable to access the site until connections are available. If the number of incoming requests to access a server is too high the server may crash.
Related to this is the functions that the server is performing for each client e.g. downloading a basic web page may not use as much server side resources however multiple users streaming video which requires Codex conversion may put a significant load on the server. Depending on its performance it may continue running correctly, slow down or crash.

# data[].attributes.body
The servers can be upgraded with newer hardware or adding more servers to the cluster, this not only will allow the servers to deal with data faster but it will allow the cluster to deal with more data at a single time, Much like a multi-core processor.

The speed has two main factors the internet service provider and the location of your device as, if your provider offers low download and upload speed then your internet performance will be poorer than those who are higher

Increasing the bandwidth to the server will allow more people to access the site at once and make the connection to the server faster

RAM

If your device has a small amount of RAM then it will take a while for your computer to make cache space (temp memory) for the website, therefore making it slower to upload the website. If your computer has a large amount of RAM then it takes less time to upload the website as there is already cache space for the web files improving the speed / performance.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the ways you can improve server side factors is by increasing the amount of servers that you have so that when there is a large amount of traffic on the website the website doesn't slow down as much as there is more servers to support the higher levels of traffic

*Use of more data efficient file formats - File formats for features such as images which comprise of less data are downloaded quicker by the user. In terms of images, file formats with more compression would satisfy this as they predict data lost in the compression, however this reduces image quality.

# data[].attributes.body
improve the hardware such as hard drive speed or memory to allow the sites data to be sent and retrieved faster.

# data[].attributes.body
Upgrade server hardware which will allow a lot more users to visit the website at once without losing performance.

# data[].attributes.body
File Types - Different File Types have different characteristics that make them useful in different scenarios. To increase download speeds you would compress the files in the website. File types such as JPEG allow for heavy compression meaning that the file size is reduced.

Download SpeedDownload speed can affect an websites speed as a slow download speed will cause lag and slow speeds when trying to upload an imageIf the download speed is slow then when website maintenance takes place it takes longer to update the coding and program and upload any new text documents or sounds that you want to add. PC Performance –The hardware of the PC can affect a website through the hardware of the computer itself, If the networking chip or the CPU isn’t powerful enough then it can slow down the website for the userAlso if the PC is not very modern and doesn’t have the hardware to connect and transfer data correctly then it can cause the website to appear slow and chunky as the computer tries to connect to the website servers

Things to consider
- Traffic
-Server hardware
-Connection speed

# data[].attributes.body
How much memory you have on your computer's motherboard/cards - the more RAM the better. The size of your network buffer - most overlooked setting, have your IT staff review the settings. How fragmented the data on your hard drive is - you may need to run a defrag program. The number of programs you have running simultaneously while downloading. Running multiple programs hogs valuable RAM space. Cookies should be cleared regularly (bi-weekly or monthly) to help reduce the load on your browser thus slowing down your performance.

# data[].attributes.body
your Internet connection speed can be affected by both where your computer is located and whether other wireless devices are in the same area. Wireless networks operate on frequencies that are similar to those used by other devices

# data[].attributes.body
The Heat of the Computer - If the computer gets too hot the motherboard will instruct components such as the hard drive to slow down.

The amount of RAM changes the amount of programs that can be open. When the RAM is running low the computer will start to slow down.

Download speed cab be affected by:
- how many users are used on it at one.        - how big the file and video size is that            the users are trying to load.
The computer speed can be affected by:
- how long it has been running.
- how big and long the website code is

# data[].attributes.body
Files can be too big to be downloaded by slower download speeds, locking out some users.

the website may have alot of codeing and user interactions making the site harder to load. sites with alot of animations and videos will load alot slower also because every frame and pixel must be loaded.

If the server has a lot of users trying to connect to the website at once the server will slow down cause the websites performance to deteriorate. Furthermore, if the server hardware is lacking/poor it will also slow down the website
