Best way to learn to analyse site loading performance?
Hi friends,
I recently created a little wordpress site called cryptovacancy.com but right now it is incredibly slow to load.
I want to learn how to analyse the loading properly to figure out which bits are causing it to load so slowly. I know there are many sites that will scan your site and offer you tips, but does anyone have any resources (blog articles etc) that teach you how to do the analysis yourself?
Cheers.
- mtmail 9y agoYour page is Wordpress based, uses a cache (based on HTML comments), all resources are already minified and there isn't much content on the front page. I'd say use http://www.webpagetest.org/ http://www.webpagetest.org/ and look at the time-to-first-byte metric. It may be that your hoster is slow or a hardware upgrade (different cache service, SSD) gets the highest speed boost. Are you using shared hosting and could another 100 websites be on the same server? Update: asked a friend who works at a Wordpress hosting company. He recommended this guide: https://www.keycdn.com/blog/speed-up-wordpress https://www.keycdn.com/blog/speed-up-wordpress
- jamiegreen 9y agoHey. Thanks a lot. The blog especially looks very interesting. Yes, I am using shared hosting. I tried using 123reg for the first time for this site, and I am quite disappointed with their service and support. Before I was on Birchhosting which was much better. I am beginning to think it would have been better to build it in RoR and use heroku. (Though it would have taken me 10x as long!). Sigh. Cheers for the info !
- nodex-alex 9y agoYou can't polish a turd, in the end it's still wordpress and it will never be the fastest website. For all the fanboys that no doubt will flame this ... You need to check what you call fast, you may call a 2 second full round trip and render fast but many other people don't 500ms is fast :)
