your site layout looks clean and easy to navigate and i would suggest to move your ads banner to the top of your sidebar to make it looks good

Hey Flipperman,

Thank you for the comment. I really appreciate you taking out time.
Ideally i am going to remove the ads off it as of now. Since this is a new website, i am not planning to use any ads for first 6 month - just content and more quality content. Further only i will think of monetizing.

warm regards
Josh

Nice design and layout. First it loaded very slow but it may be my connection. I would try to make the header image have the same visual cues and styles as the rest of the site.

I have tested the connection speed, it seems to load fine. I will work on the header suggestion you have given. Appreciate you taking out time for suggestions.

thanks again

First off, lets not kid ourselves.

You used a Wordpress Theme by Elegant Themes. No real point in addressing the design other than your header which doesn't match your theme at all.

Header problems:
  • Font to small
  • To much text
  • Random placement of elements
  • Doesn't match the theme you used
  • Change your anchor to something more useful than 'header'
  • Image needs to be optimized

Nothing I can really say on part of the design, since you didn't design it. I did review your coding and optimization techniques which could use some improvements.

Coding and optimization problems:
  • To many HTTP request (50) - Combine background images, CSS and JavaScript files
  • No expire headers (Over 60 files) - If you add expire headers to all files, you will increase load times and reduce overall bandwidth usage
  • Compress components with GZIP - 7 plain text components that should be sent compressed
  • Optimize your CSS and Javascript Files
  • Compress any images to reduce total weight. You could be saving 77.57 KB of weight.
  • Reduce DNS lookups to at least 4

Best of luck.

I like your blog and you have interesting information there too. I think your posts could use some images though. The only images you have are the ones in your sidebar links. There are quite a few open source stock image sites where you could download a few pics. It wouldn't hurt.

Zach,

Thanks a ton buddy for taking out sometime to really review my blog. I will certainly start working on one by one, ive made it each as action items. Since this is the initial month, i had plans to work on optimization and load weight. Your review certainly helped.

Thanks again!
Cheers, Josh

Hey Rob,

your suggestion is really good, but i wanted to keep it simple by not using much images, maybe more like a info library. I will certainly try putting up images and look for feed back. Thanks again buddy.

cheers

I agree. I wouldn't add images just to add images. Keep it simple and use images when they add a function benefit to the user. I don't care for web sites that use pointless stock photography in each article.
