    • Web Page Speed Report

    Posted by AndreyZ

    Hi there

    I am on tiki 1.8. Just tested my site http://1st-camcorder.comQuestion by the tool Web Page SpeedQuestion and results are terrible.
    Total home page size is over 200k. It downloads very slow on the 56k dialup that explane why about 50% of the site visitors leave the site within 30 sec (according to my webstat software). You should wait 1 min to see something if you are not happy owner of ISDN or T1.

    Is there some way to optimize the speed? Javascript and CSS size reduising. Maybe you could change the order of the parts to download? A page must appear fast and first and other scripts in background.


    Thanks for you job,
    Andrey

    Hi

    Please let us know what you find when you start reducing size of the pages and CSS content.

    Thanks

    Damian!

    Andrey,

    Have you tried something like Turck MMCacheQuestion. It optimises the PHP into binary and caches it. very effective on production systems. This product's binaries onlt work up to PHP 4.3.4. If you have later version you will have to compile or use another tool such as PHO Accelerator.

    manutiuss comment doens't seem to be about the specific problem you report, but AFAIK the CSS is cached, so the first load is the real killer, while others should be faster.

    Thanks all

    Manutius, PHP is not a problem itself, it's just 20kb of the code. The problem cause is CSS and JS (about 90k) and images a little. Images I optimized with Adobe Photoshop.

    So I disabled some unimportant features like JScalendar (55k), PHPlayer menus, etc. The page size to download was redused to 100k. This is big enough still 😕

    I read about Apache module mod_gzip that could zip ASCII content on the fly. In my case this module can zip content to 2-3 times. Does anybody use that module? Does it work ok with JS and CSS?

    I use the PHP compression without problems, providing you turn off the compression options in Admin->General. If they are both enabled, then IE users cant browse your site 😀

    Its a good anti-IE browser measure if your that way inclined. However, the PHP compression works well on my servers.
