Hello
i have tried everything , my site is on dedicated server with 32gb ram , but server is responding in 2.2 seconds , is their ant htaccess technique to load page faster or is their any problem with theme .
thanks
Hi,
I suggest you first try this without any other plugins active, leave just VC plugin active the check again.
You could also follow their documentation for the server response time and their recommendations: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/Server
To improve your server response time you can also try to reduce the number of queries (fewer plugins, fewer blocks on page, reduce the elements which use ajax requests/pagination like mega menus/load more/infinite load), also consider using a cache plugin and to improve the loading speed look the mysql query cache: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/query-cache.html We also use it on our demo.
You can also contact your host provider and let them know about this, they might have specific info on what is the cause of this in your case.
Thanks
Also note server “response” time is not the same as “page load time…” — meaning the time it takes the server to respond to first query for the page content.
Our sites with dedicated server with 32GB RAM and Quad Xeons is typically 0.31 seconds “server response time” on average and Google tells us THAT is still slow. They ideally want 0.2 sec or faster, if you can believe that.
But that should be your target if you have dedicated server running Linux variant. Definitely talk to your hosting provider — I can also recommend a third party support firm here in the U.S. ($150/month) to help manage the more arcane stuff that many hosting/colocation folks no longer help with.
but we’ve not done any special optimizations as I’m not a slave to Google’s nutty “best in the world” when they can’t even manage half their own web stuff properly anymore (seriously, don’t get me started … on the https site name change fiasco, or using Google paid CSE with sitesearch … etc.)
Not sure any of that helps — only anecdotal in case you needed some feedback on a good target speed for dedicated server with 32GB RAM and multicore CPUs.
Another option which helps, that folks often miss, is the switch your server is actually connected to their network with — most colocation and managed server co’s default to a 10/100 switch/port — when you really want a 10/100/1000 switch/port to have your server connect to. I’d look into that first, but also make sure you have your hosting company “audit” the server response time.
