[Newbie Thread] What is your site speed load time?

[PaulRD]

Recently I've been doing lots of tweaking and server configs.

Pingdom:

1.8 seconds and no further improvement on load time no matter what I do, 100/100 on google pagespeed tho. Wanted speed in milliseconds but somethings not quite right?

Gtmetrix: 1.3 seconds

Website structure-
-Hosting-Vultr
-Nginx-Apache hybrid from runcloud
-300-380 avg TTFB
-WProcket for caching
-Autooptimize for minification
-WPcontrol cron job for sitemap preloading(idk if WProcket option works but found a good guide on WPcontrol plugin)
-Theme-Twenty Seventeen
-No cdn, cloudflare(seem to have caching problem earlier, all go MISS 'ing, no HIT)
-Fastcgi on backend

Share your speed result if you don't mind. Thanks

I use as CDN for photos Jetpack, no idea if it is good or not but it`s free.

Forgot to mention, i do use jetpack cdn for Photos. Comes in handy and work just right and makes things fast, how your site speed performed with it

@PaulRD Did you have Cloudflare then removed it or just never bothered with it?

I've got the same problem with the website of my employee (8-5 job). No matter what I do, I couldn't speed up things. In my case, I found that the host (Hostgator) was the culprit. TTFB (time to first byte) was almost 1s! When you spend one entire second waiting for your host to say "hello!" to your visitors, you're gonna have a bad time (pun intended).

You can Also try imagify or smush.it for your image optimization meanwhile CDN Can help you with Server caching which also helps your speed I still use Cloudflare ... not sure why you don’t want to

Can you share any guide or thread to reach this speed? What is your TTFB?

Had it. But removed for testing. Will be using it again if all caching process goes right

Exactly!. TTFB is the MAN!(or woman!). Anyway but Idk whats others take on Vultr TTfb, I've seen it ranging from 200 ms to 380 ms max on my setup. Was lucky to get that 200ms, Google loves it but never getting it again these days with my existing setups

I don't much remember how i reached that speed.
But Pagespeed module really helped alot and using a Good theme always Helps.

Is it a dynamic site or you make rarely any change to it?

It's a Wordpress Blog. The homepage shows Recent Posts.

Let`s not forget about AMP, which gives me headaches, but it`s fucking brilliant.

Normal host from Siteground > https://prnt.sc/l5ygim
AMP: https://prnt.sc/l5ygtt

I guess caching is done via cloudflare dashboard anytime you update the site.

Just did Cloudflare and this the results. Speed- 1.86 secs still the same. Look at that, all those yellows all EXPIRED cache, just a HIT on main domain route.
What I did on Cloudlfare:
-page rule- 1.https redirect, 2.cache everything on https with edge ttl 3 hrs, browser ttl-5hrs (https://*domain.tld/*)

And this no-cache thing in request header. Is this a normal thing? if i wanted to serve the cached version from server to cloudflare.

.If after all this, no bird flies than I'll try pagespeed module as mentioned by user SiddarthiW

it the way your host has setup wp in genrual.

the apache has to be setup fast and php boosted correctly .

then you need to add good plugin to sort the speed out.

the best way is get a vps and install everthink your self but not everybody can.


i suggest contracting your host for help in speed .

gd luck.
