I create my own themes for this blog, the theme’s code name is CodeManiac. And this theme is already version 1.1, since it was released in April 2010. A lot of fixes with the features and designs. And I have also added some new functions to the theme. And if you realize, I have installed the Facebook social plugin, so if you like my article you can submit to become a fan of this blog on Facebook, to get earlier notification for post updates.
Anyway, what I want to share with you now is: should I optimize my blog for Internet Explorer? I like Mozilla Firefox the most as my browser and Google Chrome comes second. And from the Google Analytics data, most of my visitors to this blog are using Firefox (maybe you are one of them).
A couple days ago I got a message from my visitor saying my page is loading slower in Internet Explorer 8 rather than Firefox 3.6. And when I tried it I felt the same too. And I went to Google Analytics data, and found out that only 14.10% of my visitors are using Internet Explorer. Mozilla Firefox comes first with 54.92% and Google Chrome with 20.50%.
See the Google Analytics screenshot below for more details:
So my point is, is it worthy for me to optimize my blog for Internet Explorer? Until now I haven’t decided yet. I want my blog to look good and provide a better experience for my users. But as I know, optimizing a blog for Internet Explorer compatibility needs many efforts and is time consuming. And in my experience it will affect (reduce) the overall performance.
If you have better experiences or have any comment, please I need your suggestion by leaving a comment below. Thanks.
