- Choose a size that won’t end up pixilated when it’s displayed on the web — an image with a 20–50 KB file size is more than enough.

- Make your header’s image file size within 20–50KB (just like your blog’s background image) and make sure it doesn’t appear pixilated once it’s displayed.
This will make the banner display much faster and load the rest of the page quicker.

- Gadgets, or widgets - ads put more “weight” on a blog’s performance.

- If you have no idea which gadgets or ad is dragging your site’s performance down, research some online tools to test how fast it takes to “ping” each “add-on.” A wonderful tool that can help you test that is Pingdom Speed Test.
