I'll throw in my own 2 cents, in agreement. I have tried to use SPDY, Nginx 'microcaching', Drupal caching to make my own Drupal 7 project load as quickly as possible. I still need to make the font and bootstrap calls local (potentially dropping the fancy font for Georgia or Verdana, even Helvetica...) to really bring the load times down further. There are other settings to tweak still, but it's one example of Drupal not dragging its feet too much.
It certainly let this 'dev' create a usable piece of software, at least.

PS - also looking forward to Let's Encrypt and http2 in Nginx.
- mikeytown2 11y agoCheckout the AdvAgg module [1] it does async font loading. It was used to speedup the frontend of drupal.org and the results are fairly remarkable [2]. Also if you looking for more ways to speed up drupal checkout my DIY Drupal 7 Performance [3] presentation.

- luxpir 11y agoThanks for that - have written up most of the performance work I've done and posted to HN[0] - I see from link [2] above that you retested drupal.org and found render times to have doubled since a recent change. It's so easy to undo all that hard work! [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10418732 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10418732
