Hey guys I'm havinf alot of trouble with the Pageload from my website that uses Wordpress.
I have following plugins installed for speeding up page load.

Quik cache
W3 Total Cache
CSS And Script File Aggregation

But after using Woorank to check my site stats I saw a minus at page speed load.
[h=3]Load Time[/h]
3.38 second(s) (15.38 Kb/s)





woorank stats

Anyway I can get to load my website faster I have alot of pictures and will be adding alot of content to the site!
Any help would be appreciated!

Pingdom Page Speed test (http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/) says your site's homepage is 1.6 megabytes. This MUST be corrected - basically, look for large images that can be resized/compressed, combine all Javascript in one file, etc. It seems that your main trouble with the page loading speed is exactly this. For example, my main site is 407 kilobytes and loads in about 1 sec. Sort this out, and your problem will go away.

Thank you for the quick reply. Is there a way to compress the inages without loosing size?
And to combine javascript files Does a plug in exist forthat or do I need special prgramming skill for that ?
thank you in advance
Best regards
 
Page size
1.1MB
Load time
1.26s
Requests
104

^ That's what I got for one of my websites when I tested it. Even if the filesize is large, e.g., over 1MB, you can still have a very fast loading site for the most part. I have a 500KB site that takes over 5 seconds to load.
 
I just checked your site stats:
[TABLE="class: netTable showBFCacheResponses"]
[TR="class: netRow netSummaryRow focusRow outerFocusRow"]
[TD="class: netCol netHrefCol a11yFocus"]109 requests -->

[/TD]
[TD="class: netCol netStatusCol a11yFocus"][/TD]
[TD="class: netCol netDomainCol a11yFocus"][/TD]
[TD="class: netTotalSizeCol netCol netSizeCol a11yFocus"]1.4 MB in size

[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]

Here are few points that can help you lower your website size:

1) Minify your CSS and JS
2) Optimize your images
3) Combine different images in 1 CSS sprite
4) Minify html
5) Enable Compression


Their are lot's of other thing points but for now, just work on those and it should lower your website size by atleast 30-40%
 
Tbh, I didn't realise notice a slow loading time at all
My internet bank must be 10x slower than that and I still stick around to wait for the next page....
Maybe that's cause I have to though, ha :)
