Your site will move faster if:

- Enable Gzip compression and Leverage Browse caching in your htaccess file

- Select your JS loaded before the body tag -> Customization - Themes - Edit your theme - Custom:

Javascript include location -> Just before </body> tag

- YSlow improved by 5 points more if you use the cookie-free domain

etc.

This site has a lot written about the htaccess - search and you will find the solution for you.

@Adlago If setting the 'Javascript include location -> Just before </body> tag' makes so much difference why do Invision not set that option as standard on the default theme?

[glowpowner]

@Adlago  thanks

It can say developers. There are different operating servers.
I think that as an option is a very good solution.
Anyone who deals with optimization appreciates

[tekguru]

Okay I'll give it a try!

[TheGreyWizard]

I tried this and i did seem to help the speed of the website loading, if anyone else has any ideas, post them up!

From my  understanding it's not always the "best" thing to do.  Sometimes you may need JS to load before the rest of the data and that selection will defeat it.  It is just something to try and if it works consider yourself blessed.

[TheGreyWizard]

What are the instances you would need JS to load before the rest of the data?

[Tracy Perry]

If you have certain features for display that are dependent on the JS. Or certain functions that effect the display.  It's really a trial and error.  The stuff you want "below the fold" (what he's referring to) are scripts that slow the rendering (google analytics, Facebook/FacePile, Google +, Twitter, etc).  Some things though need to load before as what is displayed can be dependent on what they return.  

It's worth trying it... but if you notice display errors or features/functions not working, you need to try disabling it and see if they start working again.

[TheGreyWizard]

Hmm.  Ok, a bit over my head, but I gave it a shot anyways.  Thanks for the help & info.

Optimizing is great, but the software has speed issues, more-so since 4.1.4... There is a 4.1.4 memcached patch which helps if you are running that.

It apparently also has a double post issue with times about a minute apart.

I see your website acceleration.
Here's how to improve your Google Loverage browser caching

1. Create in your root directory new directory - for example with the name Google.

2. Upload this file in it

analytics.js

3. Edit only link in ACP-SEO-Configure Google Analytics ->Google AnalyticsTracking Code. 

Find

"script","//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js","ga")

and change is

"script","//yoursait.com/Google/analytics.js","ga")

and Save.

I'm gonna add that now @Adlago again thanks

[TheGreyWizard]

What does that code do aldago and what file & where exactly should it be added?  (to the end of all of the rest of the code etc?)

[glowpowner]

in your httpdocs folder (website root folder) and make a file called .htaccess

[TheGreyWizard]

I seem to have a .htaccess files inside of my public_html folder, should I just add that code to it, or completely overright it?

What does this do exactly?

[Adlago]

@TheGreyWizard Everything in this topic I am writing refers to site @glowpowner

He gave a link to a site and test results from the web I write tips.

 

[glowpowner]

when i put that option for Javascript include location to Just before </body> tag

my navigation header doesn't scroll down with me any more so i have that set back because i want that any way to bypass that

or do i need to ask the designer who made it to fix that ?
