Performance Improvement in SharePoint Pages

To improve the performance of a SharePoint site, there are many ways to achieve it.  I will list down the list of steps to be taken care while designing a SharePoint page.

1. Less Usage of Images in Home Page
2. Ensure that Blog Cache is enabled
3. MDS - Minimal Download Strategy which is a new feature in SharePoint 2013.
4. Optimize HTML markup.
5. Use consolidated images and files; for example, combine multiple CSS files into one, and combine images into an image strip or cluster.
6. Use compression (crunch) techniques.
7. Optimize the SharePoint list views.
