Set up GZIP compression on your web server. If it possible then, tailor your website more simple by using less image, java scripts and also avoid table format website.

Canonical issue means – When a website URL say http://hexagoninfosoft.com is typed in the web browser, and if doesn’t redirect to www.hexagoninfosoft.com
The search engine cannot understand that both the URLs – htttp://hexagoninfosoft.com and www.hexagoninfosoft.com are same, hence, it treats as different URLs. So, this can make issues which upgrading sites for Web crawler.
