Hi Folks,
You may found that your site rating may not be so high in
Google PageSpeed Insights test, there are many factors which may cause that:
- Wrong DNS setup (caused long first byte response);
- Missing indexes or slow queries in database (every site has its own database setup and required personal database tuning);
- Large and not minimized css and js files;
- Not optimized pictures;
- Static data loaded in page header instead of footer;
- Wrong static data cache periods.
We are working on the software and plugins and trying to optimize static data usage and its delivery methods to make speed test results better.
Every new plugin or software update makes them better. You know that we have many plugins and it took us much to rework and optimize all of them.
Now we can recommend using
PageSpeed module by google that will make your speed test score better. That module might be already installed on your server and you just need to configure it. You should ask your hosting support to install this module if you don't have it. Also ask your hosting support to configure the module using the configuration rules attached to this thread.
Let us know if the module and configuration rules helped you. Maybe some rules from our file are not so helpful or we missed some important rules.
