How We Achieved a .50s Page Load
- herbshire 14y agoHey guys, Just noticed your site loads fine in IE10 then kicks me out saying I'm using IE6... Might want to fix that.
- kerno 14y agoWow, that is really fast. This article is really detailed and has given me lots of things to look at tonight. I'm assuming based on the WPMinify mention that this is a WP site - would be curious to know if the speed improvements were all in html/css/js and caching, or if there was anything done to WP as well.
- tjasko 14y agoThanks! We use WP Engine to host the site, which they have a pretty nice system set in place to host WordPress. They have a page on their system architecture here: http://wpengine.com/our-infrastructure/ http://wpengine.com/our-infrastructure/ Basically, it just comes down to caching in a brilliant way. But other than that, we did not do anything special to WordPress itself.
- kerno 14y agoHi tjasko - that's for the follow-up info. We're on WPEngine as well and now I'm excited to see how much of an improvement we can make using the techniques you covered. Thankyou
- angrydev 14y agoSublime Text with the Solarized Dark theme, love it.
- tjasko 14y agoHehe, it's my favorite! Solarized Dark is a beast in the terminal too.

- DrJ 14y agoI think there are 3 things that should be applied to anyone serving images. 1. Expires Header (for static) 2. Cache-Control Headers (for less static) 3. KeepAliveTimeout (might be a double edged sword) and you can set the first 2 on Amazon S3
- nycacorp 14y agotrue you can also set these on the NetDNA CDN Platform through their vhost modification service. also any origin server should be able to set these as well and any CDN honor those settings
- xmasbear 14y agoThis is really great.Good job , you can't get any better load times then that. What a great product.
