How to make your site load like a Rocket

I just shifted another site to this setup from shared hosting, there is lots of stuff to optimise still but see how much difference just implementing this does to the site.

I've had great success with Cloudways. You can run several sites of the cheap $10 plan.

I use nitropack on magento 2. Yes, it's a bit of a hack in terms of the way it works, but I haven't found anything for Magento that comes close. Scores 93 on mobile and 100 on desktop.

I tried nitropack, its free plan is good but found its paid plan a bit high considering other options. Maybe for magento its only option.

Meanwhile, one of my shopify stores is slow as shit with barely anything and an ultra fast theme....

I don't know anything about shopify, but you should use webpagetest.org to understand what's slowing your site. Also for ecommerce sites use Redis object cache.
 
Today i switched from shared hosting to an ovh vps with cyberpanel, after doing all the stuff including security, the website is much faster :)
Shared hosting should be used only by people who buy new domain and plan to build a site for the 1st year, if your website got traffic, there is no point in staying with shared.

Though I do not consider WordPress for websites. I prefer HTML for the websites, get your website coded in the HTML and it will become a rocket from the initial phases.

When you build websites for clients without a cms, it becomes completly useless, since clients can´t use it to publish text/articles, since they do not have the knowledge. So that´s a dumb comment on this thread. If you need super-speed and usability, headless wordpress would be the answer, not some plain html site that a regular user can not use.
 
I have a Drupal theme site that runs off A2 hosting. I have the highest plan VPS with the Turbo boost, etc. While there have been massive improvements to TTFB, LCP, etc by switching to the VPS...I can't achieve all green in the lab data. I've spent more than I want to think about on coders to try to speed up the site to get it acceptable on Core Vitals. It's a rabbit hole I wish I hadn't gone down...but I know the performance update is coming.

i hardly ever see anyone sharing any advice/insights on drupal themes here. maybe you should switch to wordpress. much easier to share lessons learned

I want to know this too

Regarding Drupal or Magento or anything other CMS. I don't have direct knowledge of working with them but following things can help.

1. FastCGI is a server based page cache so it should work with other CMS also
2. Redis Object Cache similarly should would with database heavy sites
3. PHP-FPM generally most hosts already implement it now

What wordpress plugins like wprocket do, if the same can be replicated for other CMS that will increase speed, which is

3. Joining and minifying css and js files and loading them async
4. generating critical css and implementing in theme or CMS
5. Lazy load images
6. Browser caching of assets (adding expire headers)

Hope implementing this can help. But its just based on my experience working with wordpress sites

no database queries, no php queries, just a static file,

I have to post this :D
that's dissapointing for white theme users tho :D:D:D



any good traffic and it will go up for 10 seconds :D
VPS all the way since most of them are basically at the same price as shared hosting but way better

I fort gtmetrix not used no more got to use google speed tester?

Or it ok using gtmetrix
 
I have to add,

Pagespeed insights only looks at above the fold, so you may get a mismatch with the page experience section in GSC because page experience looks at below the fold, something that page insights doesn't measure.

Thus you can get "100" on both mobile and desktop on page speed insights, and still give users a bad page experience.

100% True!
One time after i optimized my website i got 100% on both mobile/desktop also on gtmetrix, when loading the page i got an unstyle page, meaning the whole css/js combine feature destroyed the website design.
After you optimize your website make sure your design is ok, but still most of what OP said in the first post is correct, you can clearly see the improvement :)
