Avoid redirections
Redirections should be avoided as much as possible as they slow down response and drain resources unnecessarily. These redirections can take place on various levels: HTML code, JavaScript code, HTTP server and application server (e.g. PHP).

Adapt sounds to the listening environment
Audio files can be large and use up lots of bandwidth. It is therefore important to minimize their size. Choose one of the 3 formats that cover the 3 largest platforms (Windows, Mac OS X and Linux):
- MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3)
- AAC (Advanced Audio Coding)
- Vorbis
These formats apply fine-tuned compression algorithms that greatly reduce file size.
