I built the website highlife.today and it is getting D’s and F’s for even resolving the home page.
it has 41 components that are not cookie free.
it goes externally for 14 javascript and 7 external scripts
I’m trying to understand why the website runs so slow.
I use to use it for highlife2.com but have deleted it and now rebuilt as highlife.today and both times the website is really really slow. How can I optimize it.
Try
a) not using jetpack
b) test site with *no* ads running
c) remove all demo content
d) don’t use “number of likes” from FB/Twitter on your posts/pages or sidebar
(etc)
Everything you pile onto a page that goes to another site to grab stuff adds bloat.
Once you optimize a “lean” site, then start adding bells/whistles to the point it doesn’t die on speed. 🙂
(At least that’s what I do … )

Hello,
