Hello
I have my website – http://www.droidorigin.com hosted on Hostgator. Since the last 3-4 days, my website load time has become real slow. I optimized my website as per the results from GTMetrix.com, but that didn’t help.
So I contacted my host, and they asked me to request the theme developer to optimize my theme.
Here are the results from GTMetrix
Could someone please help?
Thanks
Why not view the theme docs on how to speed up your site, and my long winded optimization thread?
See > theme docs (link right side page) > tutorials/DIY and “best of forum”
Pagespeed score of ’98’ is the best you can get with WordPress with any page containing images, and over 100kb total, by the way. Anything over 91 is very very good for desktop.
Anything over 88 mobile and 90 desktop is “in the zone.” Anything below 85 for both needs work.
Thanks Chris, will have a good read through that.
Cheers.
Well then it looks like an issue from the server-side. I will contact my host again, thanks Chris. 🙂
7.7 seconds is pretty slow; 3.7 seconds would be “good” for the entire complex page. 1 second would be “insanely great.”
Although important to note, test one of your POST pages for speed NOT your home page!
Seems like maybe a good caching plugin would help, but be aware what SLOOOOOOWS down a page a LOT is loading too many external things (e.g., Jetpack, counters for social stuff, loading avatar for author image externally vs local hosted image, too many ad networks, not properly optimized images and thumbnails, etc.)
in what website did you get that report?
How can I create a website similar to offer up, amazon, or ebay for users to sell their itmes and buy rom other users?? I used word press. hnak you
@jim
please start your own topic. That question is both outside the scope of this current topic, and not really related to the theme specifically. The theme is a look/feel/design for WordPress, it does not create all the back-end elements for an auction site. For an ecommerce site you should look at the WooCommerce plugin, as your starting point to research, perhaps.
@Dhananjay
you can minify that js file using the Google recommended compression tool found in my long winded optimization thread in the docs > tutorials/DIY > best of forums.
I specifically have a post about both CSS minification and JS minification you can do manually that won’t break the site !
@carmene
see: http://gtmetrix.com — put in the URL for one of your post pages, and it will show you what to fix, and sometimes even provide the actual replacement elements for you!
We’ve been pals with the GT folks for 16 years, and cannot recommend the free tool highly enough (and those on the forums may note, I always do!).
i just tried to analyze my homepage but i got this error
Analysis Error
The page returned an error: 409 Conflict
GTmetrix tried to access the page, but your server returned a non-success status code.
what can i do?
it worked now
Better to test a post page as your home page will always take longer to render than a post.
