Use a slash on your links
When a server opens a link in the form of “
http://www.domain.com/about” it will need to figure what kind of file or webpage is contained on that address, wasting time on the process. If instead of using that link you include a slash (”/”) at the end like “
http://www.domain.com/about/” the web server will already know that the link points to a directory, reducing the time to load the page.
