1. A Blank Page
If a visitor comes to your website from a search engine, and it falls on a blank page, you can imagine that it will not remain. He will not return either later since it will fetch information about another blog.
This blank page might happen when changes. So when you make changes to your blog (update, install a plugin, ...), be careful.
If you edit a file, be sure to have a copy to be able to go back in case of problems.
If you add a plugin, take the time to test.
2. Too long loading times
At the time of the fiber, there is less and less patient (me included) when navigating on the canvas. Also make sure that your blog complies with acceptable load times for your readers which, if too long waiting, may turn back.
To measure the speed of your blog, use tools.pingdom.com. You can also use gtmetrix.com that will give you several ways to improve your load time.
3. Mobile version
Nothing annoys me more than to fall on a site does not offer a version tailored to smartphones.
Today, we must know that surfing from mobile exceeded that from the PC. Having a blog offering a mobile version is imperative!
4. Pubs, just pubs
Advertising on a blog is a huge debate and it is not the subject here.
If you want to integrate the ad on your blog, do it intelligently. This must be naturally integrated in your blog and not be intrusive to risk scaring your visitors. And do not overdo it!
5. An overloaded homepage
When one goes on a blog, we like to find the info you're looking for quickly. Also, when one falls on one of these home pages with 50 images, 60 ties and umpteen inserts, it can quickly be lost and annoy.
Prefer a synthetic homepage by putting the most important elements to top.
6. A home page
Some offer on their homepage, articles in their entirety. If the articles are long and the page has 6 items (for example), imagine the number of times you turn the mouse wheel to discover the content of this page.
If the first item does not appeal to your visitors, do you think it will look to go lower on your page? Me personally, I leave the blog directly.
therefore prefer the display of item description (excerpt) on your home page.
7. Not visible links
Whatever theme you choose, there will always be way to change its CSS to make it as pleasant as possible.
On some blogs, it is difficult to separate the links with a simple text underlined or bold. As your readers may be confused if they think then click on a link and therefore expect a suite, nothing happens.
Do not hesitate to put your most visible links as possible.
8. A poor spelling and grammar
To be a blogger, do not have to be a member of the French Academy. If a spelling error, typing or agreement can be easily tolerated in an article, every sentence is less acceptable.
If the eyes of your reader sting because of your lack of mastery of the language of Molière, it may annoy quickly browse your blog. So be an effort to read and think.
