One thing you can do to make your blogger website faster is to limit the number of blog posts that appear on the homepage of your website. The more post blogger has to show the more request it has to make to the server which will result in a slight delay in the loading speed.
Images can take a long time to load on a website, and one way to speed things up is to compress the images before uploading them. There are a number of free tools online that can do this.
Also, remember to save the image to Dimensions which is the width and height that you are going to set in the CSS for the image. In this way, you are not scaling down your images after fetching an image with a larger width and height.
One more thing to remember about images is that if you are using an image as a background for your content or your whole page, then try to remove the image, if you can. Try to replace it with a solid color or you can also use gradient using CSS. Try to eliminate images whenever possible.

3. Limit the Number of Widgets
- Remove the Widgets that you don't absolutely need.
4. Use a fast-loading Template.
- Some templates are coded poorly resulting in a low loading speed.
5. Limit the number of ads
Using a large number of Ads on your website can also cause your website to load slower. Each ad has to contact a particular website for the ads to show off. The more ads there are, the more requests need to be sent, this can cause your website to load slower, so if you're using ads on your website limit them to the least you can.6. Use CDN
- you CDNs when you have a lot of media files.
- CDN stands for Content Delivery Network.
- Load files from this geographically nearest server to the visitor.
A CDN is a service that helps you distribute your website's content across multiple servers so that it can be delivered to visitors more quickly.
Now, when any visitor from anywhere in the world tries to access the images on my website, the images are delivered by my hosting server. Sometimes the hosting server can't handle the heavy load if I have a lot of visitors accessing the website at the same time, so CDN can work magic for me.
