hi all,
i have a travel website, while loading its taking time, what should i do please suggest.

Three suggestions come to mind...

1. Reduce the size of the page, and all of it's extra parts as well. Images, Javascript files, css files, and everything else that goes into a page, takes up load time. Lighten these up and you'll get the page loading faster.

2. Get a faster hosting server. (faster CPU, more RAM, dedicated instead of shared...)

3. From my limited experience, a lot of travel websites that I've seen usually have a lot of 3rd party data on them. These are normally Javascript files that include data from somewhere else, or web services that consume the data from another source. These are probably some of the worst culprits for page loading times.

There's other reasons that it could be as well, but without knowing what the site is it's impossible to tell.

loading of flash images, inline css and internal javascripts also play a vital role in loading of a page. but first you should reduce the size of your website.

If you are running php pages and your server supports it you can try gzip compression which can make a big difference to some pages.

To do this all you need to do is add this code to the first line of your source code:

<?php
ob_start("ob_gzhandler");
?>

If you have any flash animation change it to a picture/image file. Get the information organized in seperate inner pages than putting all in a homepage itself.

Test your host provider and other sites hosted in the hosting company to know the performance of the hosting provider.

That's not true. It depends on a whole lot of factors (server load, quality of programming, amount of processing required to render a page, etc, etc, etc...).

To get the fastest page loading, you want plain HTML pages. No matter what you do, no server-side language will be as fast as that.
