Have you ever wondered why at iGuRu.gr have we removed any unnecessary from our homepage? We could easily load banners, ads, sliders, and images that catch the eye for more clicks and revenue.
We simply choose for many reasons. First of all, we consider that content is more important than appearance, that is, the opposite of the narcissistic "appearance is more important than it is."
Second reason the speed: If you didn't know, let us inform you that iGuRu.gr is currently the fastest Greek website news.
For true reason, you can test yourself on different sites and yourself on the website GTMetrix.com.
The 0.7s in Page Load Time, 100% in PageSpeed index and 97% in YSlow, which you see in the image we publish is the result of hard work and many lines code, except for the appropriate plugins we use in WordPress.
Speed is of course also serving SEO or optimizing the page for search engines. A slow site will never be able to get good results in search engine results.
It should be mentioned here that a "heavily loaded" site does keep some of the readers more time in search of an interesting post (something that is good for the rank of the website) but it tires the reader.
The hundreds of photos and titles confuse and tire the reader.
So judging that the reader is far more important than the revenue of a home loaded with google ads, and from a tiring page we decided to remove all unnecessary functions, while at the same time we made sure that the appearance was not affected too much.
The last word of course has our readers and visitors…
