Site loading speed and other technical issues

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’ve check my speed on a free speed checker, and got an F 34% on the speed, also an F on minimize redirect and enable keep alive and defer parsing of javascript. Two more Fs on serve resources from consistent url and leverage browser caching.

    I have no knowledge with computers and have no idea how to fix these issues.

    It says to remove the following redirect, but I’ve no idea how to even find these redirects. It also says 1.4MiB of JavaScript is parsed during initial page load. Defer parsing JavaScript to reduce blocking of page rendering.

    How can I fix this? I don’t really know what it means. Would appreciate advice.

  • You would need a paid Business Plan to have that level of access here.

    The good news it’s not too bad, loading in 4.61 seconds: https://www.webpagetest.org/result/200323_EC_e7ae8acd3fe542c67ad3f3fe430702fa/

    Which speed test are you using?

    macmanx, thank you.

    I forgot which speed test I used before, but now I tried https://tools.pingdom.com/#5c42300de7400000

    Got an D 70 on performance.

    I suppose a D isn’t too bad, and isn’t going to stop the search engines from finding my blog. They already have, but just one in a few days. Probably has to do with lack of links, and I’m working on it.

    Thanks for your help! Now I know it’s not too bad, I don’t have to worry about it.

    I don’t remember the speed test I used before, but I just used https://tools.pingdom.com/#5c42300de7400000 Got a D 70 or performance. That’s not too bad.

  • Yeah, take those recommendations with a grain of salt. They’re just suggestions to improve it, not a score that represents anything, which is why I’m not a fan of this whole “grading” thing.

    What matters there in that report is your site loaded in 1.37 seconds, that’s what the search engines care about. :)
