There are many useful tips to improve your home page (home page is means your first page in your website). For that you can check on http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20020512.html

Here, I would like to focus on just one point, page loading time. Since home page is the first page people normally visit, it is important to make sure your home page load fast. You know, first impression.

One of the main area which affects the page loading time is your page size. Page size does not just include the size of your html and images, but also your external page, like external style sheet, Javascript and etc.

The good news is you don’t need to check on your page size manually. There are online tool out there to help you. And this is what I have been using. Second good news, it is free!

    Google Sitemaps Free Online Generator

    I realized from Google Webmaster Tools that I don’t have a google sitemaps and I hope to have one.

    I also learnt that there are site out there which can generate this google sitemaps. I have tried some sites but they fail to do a good job. But, just now, at last, I found a good one. It is sitemapdoc.

    What is the usage of this sitemap? My knowledge at this time is, it helps search engine to crawl my website better.

    So, after the site has generated the xml, I copied and paste it to my notepad and save it as .xml file. Then, I upload it to my website. Then, I went to Google Webmaster Tools to add this Google Sitemaps. It took some time (less than 30 minutes) to process the sitemaps. Right now, I got a sitemaps, hurray!
