Now we are working on how to reduce the loading time for our website.
We have our home page loaded in the server in the following folder: /home/public_html/xyz/index.php.
Though the question might be silly, am wondering if there will be any improvement in the site loading time by bringing the index.php to the public_html folder.

Thanks in advance for all the responses.

No,the size of the URL has nothing to do with the loading time.
Loading time mainly depends on few factors such as :

1. Size of the Page
2. Connection Speed
3. Capacity of the server etc.

4. Number of requests to the server per page, as in number of images and other linked items
5. Size of images, and degree of optimization
6. Efficiency of the script, it may be the programming itself bogging it down
7. Structure of the page output, if it's over-coded and poorly constructed this will affect load time

4a. if a lot of images, or other objects, load from different subdomain, but make sure you have cname for the subdomain (in order for this to work)
