Re: Speed of first page shown to site visitor
It is going to depend on a number of issues:
- How many modules are you showing on the home page? The more modules = more DB queries = longer access time.
- Are you using a shared or dedicated host? Some shared hosts may have limits.
- Is your DB on the same machine as your host (i.e., localhost)? If not, the DB query time will be impacted, depending on the connection between the two machines.
- Have you enabled the GZIP compression option?
- Are you caching external pages and/or images?
- Are you using any sort of optimizer (e.g., ZEND)?
- Do you have any 3-rd party, hosted scripts, that your Tiki is accessing?
You might try using something like YSlow to see where the slowdown occurs.
Just some ideas...
