Fill out the online form. There are two things you need to know before applying online form. Primary and Secondary name server. Get DNS server information from your webhost (i have  chosen www.000webhost.com because it is free of cost).You may also use other hosting sites.

For 000webhost its

primary name server ns01.000webhost.com

secondary name server ns02.000webhost.com

Today, we're going to show you that how can we add Google custom search engine in Blogger blog. Most of the blogger templates these days comes with built-in default blogger search boxes that are not much powerful to give exact result because their factor of finding the result is not good as it should be but adding Google custom search engine will be better because it gives accurate result and also has some more useful functions.

Google Custom Search Engine? Tell me a bit more.

Just like YouTube, Blogger and Gmail Google products, custom search engine is also a product developed by Google to let sites display the search box for inner site search only. If you run a website that has tons of pages with huge data and its really difficult to set the perfect navigation than you could use search engine that will help your visitors to navigate easily just by searching the thing that they in search box and search box will automatically give them the path of the content that they want. It's totally easy. 

Do you know how Google custom search engine works? You'll be amazed by knowing it. You know how much powerful Google is and it's whole search engine. Google uses various natural factors to bring up the exact and correct search results and in custom search engine, Google uses same formula. That's why we're recommending to implement this in your blog and enjoy its facilities. 

Google custom search engine also allows you to monetize the search result pages but for that you'll need to have normally approved Google AdSense account. You can easily sign in to custom search engine with your AdSense account and enable monetization in monetize page. It might take time to activate but later it will start working. Google displays ads in the search result pages and ads are also relevant to the every keyword that user may search and you're easily paid for clicks on ads and also impressions.

Other than this, Google custom search engine has functions to customize the theme of search box, enable voice search, image search and many more options. Even you can change the layout style of search box and search results or use your own search box and display custom search engine's result somewhere else. There is a lot you can do with this. It's simply amazing.

How To Add Google Custom Search Engine in Blogger?

There is a lot you can do now with your custom search engine like customizing the theme that may suite with your blog design, enabling monetization, disable or enable voice search and image search, changing layout and much more. Just navigation through left vertical menu bar and you can easily do all from there.

Final Words

So, That was Google custom search engine and we hope you've enjoyed today's article and if you like than don't forget adding this search box in your blog because its full of profit. Even I also removed the previous default Blogger search box and implemented this custom search now. Also share this article with your friends and Have a nice day!

It is quite simple if your blog takes too much time to load then your readers may hate it due to loading and it will loose the readership of your blog. Search engines also look at the loading so it is really important to take care loading time. You might have done several mistakes in your blog by which your blog is heavy but here we'll solve it. Before the tips, it is important to check the loading time of blog.

How To Check Loading Speed Of a Blog?

We have some best tools which we help us in knowing the loading time of a blog. Below are the links of that tools. Simply go there, enter your blog URL, press Enter and wait a little to get the result.

1. Google Page Insights

3. GTmatrix

So these are some tools to test the speed of a website. Now if you're going good with your blog then surely you will get the good result. If you get more than 80 marks then you don't need to do anything. If it is less then you should follow the below given tips.

Tips To Reduce The Loading Speed Of Blog

1. Choose The Proper Template For Your Blog

Before choosing any theme of template for your blog, You have to properly analyze that template. You have to check that a template is well coded or not, See the usage of JavaScript and JQuery and check it is not over designed.

2. Avoid Too Much Use Of JavaScript

JavaScript is the web programming language which is really heavy coding. If takes time to be loaded by the browsers. I strongly recommend you to don't use too much JavaScript on your blog. It doesn't mean you should leave using JavaScript but use it not too much.

3. Compress JavaScript and StyleSheet
This is another working tip. You've to compress the JavaScript and StyleSheet in your theme or template. After compressing, the code will be shorted and it's memory will be decreased. Actually, It will remove the spaces from the whole code because they are not needed and also re-write the same code properly. Below are the links of JavaScript and StyleSheet compressor tools. And don't forget to take backup of your blog.

4. Don't Use Too Much Images In Template
Make sure your template is not images based or it is not using too much images. Images are another things that makes a blog even more heavy so you've to analyze your template and avoid to use a few number of images in the design.

5. Use Less Than 5 Images In a Single Post
Images are an important role of SEO which helps us in driving organic traffic from image search engines. Look at the title, I recommend you to use less than five images in a single because each image has separate memory and your blog will take time to load images.

6. Resize Images In a Post
When you come to the featured image or screenshot in any post of your blog then you've to resize the image with any image editor. I recommend to use PhotoShop and PhotoScape. When you will upload the full size image in your post then post editor will automatically make it short with CSS and it will work cool but browser always loads the full image.

7. Don't Implement Too Much Widgets - Use Necessary Widgets
Widgets are another things that can be the reason of a lazy speed blog. I've seen the worst mistake of newbies that they implement each and every kind of widget in their blog so if you are also one of them then you should use the necessary widgets only.

8. Don't Make Your Blog a Place Of Ads
This is another worst mistake which is being done by newbies that they join the many small ad networks and implement all ads everywhere in their blog. Those ads are also being being shown with the use of JavaScript so I recommend you to show less than five ads in your blog.

9. Avoid Popup Widgets, Ads and Subscriptions
If you look for the benefit with popup feature then you will surely get benefit from it but at the other hand, pop up is not good for the load speed. I suggest you to try another methods to increase subscriptions and don't use pop up ads because mostly they're prohibited and they also affect on load time.

10. Show Minimum Number Of Posts On Homepage
The last and the most important tip is that you've to show the minimum number of posts on the homepage. As you can see our own homepage there you will not get more than eight posts. So in this tip, you should show less than eight posts on the homepage. If you're using Blogger then you can do it by editing the blog widget in the layout section.

Final Words

So my dear friends, these were some effective tips which  I wanted to share with all of you. I also tried these all tips and got the good result. Kshitij, Blogger Yard has got 86 score out of 100 on Google Page Insights. You must try these all tips and I'm sure you will get the good result.
