2. Which of the following is a correct method to optimize page load speed?
easy
A. Add large video files without compression
B. Use many heavy fonts on the page
C. Compress images before uploading them
D. Load all scripts at the same time without delay
Solution

Quick Check:
Image compression = faster load [OK]
Hint: Smaller images load faster, always compress first [OK]
Common Mistakes:

3. A website uses a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to serve images. What is the expected effect on page load time?
medium
A. Page load time will decrease because images load from nearby servers
B. Page load time will stay the same
C. Page load time will increase because of extra servers
D. Page load time will be unpredictable
Solution
Step 1: Understand what a CDN does
A CDN stores copies of content on servers close to users to speed up delivery.
Step 2: Analyze the effect on page load
Loading images from nearby servers reduces delay, so pages load faster.
Final Answer:
Page load time will decrease because images load from nearby servers -> Option A
Quick Check:
CDN = faster image loading [OK]
Hint: CDN means content is closer, so loads faster [OK]
Common Mistakes:
Thinking CDN adds delay due to extra servers
Assuming no change in load time
Believing CDN causes unpredictable speeds
