Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
July 28, 20168 yr Author I also see pagespeed gone up to 66 on mobile and 81 on desktop on google. Thanks, any other tips?
July 28, 20168 yr YSlow is only 70/100 because in your site using 38 external resources. Consider how to reduce
July 28, 20168 yr Author I see Defer parsing of JavaScript and Specify image dimensions are still Grade F (0) though. Does anything help with this?
July 28, 20168 yr Well no, not bogus this test. I think that the test GtMetrix is deceptively good. Best online test has Dareboost. Google Developers test It is very close. See you to your Dareboost test and you will see. https://www.dareboost.com/en/report/5799b8fa0cf27e4f611b7a9c The software is so powerful, it's never going to "lightning" fast. If you're concerned about it -- just make a static page -- instead of the forums for your front page. But as much powerful as the forums are -- it's pretty fast on my end. The main thing -- do your readers find it fast? The main thing isn't pleasing Google -- it's pleasing your users.
July 28, 20168 yr I see Defer parsing of JavaScript and Specify image dimensions are still Grade F (0) though. Does anything help with this? At this stage it does not slow down your site. Try reduction of external resources - which of them as possible download and upload in a folder on your server. Load them from your server.
July 28, 20168 yr Author It's difficult for me to change that as that is the advertising setup. I've read that innodb is recommended now over myisam, how much of a difference would I see by changing database tables? concerned about data loss with that though.
July 28, 20168 yr The fact that you are using an .htaccess file is overloading your server with many extra requests making your server slow http://wiki.nginx.org/LikeApache-htaccess So even if you satisfy Google's metrics then you will not have the maximum performance
July 28, 20168 yr The fact that you are using an .htaccess file is overloading your server with many extra requests making your server slow http://wiki.nginx.org/LikeApache-htaccess So even if you satisfy Google's metrics then you will not have the maximum performance Wiki... It is frivolous argument - tale for the layman. Sorry, but I expect you professional response.
July 28, 20168 yr @Adlago Do you disagree with that? Using .htaccess is not good for your server performance? Or do you mean something else? Sorry for my bad english
July 28, 20168 yr So no issues with CloudFlare and IPS4? I am currently looking at using a CDN as well.
July 28, 20168 yr So no issues with CloudFlare and IPS4? I am currently looking at using a CDN as well. Share the link to your site - I'm curious to test CDN and CloudFlare.
July 28, 20168 yr @Adlago Do you disagree with that? Using .htaccess is not good for your server performance? Or do you mean something else? Sorry for my bad english If this is not good for performance server - host companies will not offer it. But if good use is htaccess file "likes" from the browser client - what's the problem?
July 28, 20168 yr Quote If this is not good for performance server - host companies will not offer it. .htaccess is not something a hosting company offer to any client.It is a choice of you if you want to use Apache and .htaccess or not. Quote But if good use is htaccess file "likes" from the browser client - what's the problem? There is no such thing good use or bad use for .htaccess related to what i say. Yes if you have bad rules inside then yes is not good use and can cause issues. If you use good rules then you satisfy the Google but that doesn't change the extra reads. Check this sample: Server Requests / Hour : 576,000 Nginx will need : 576,000 reads Apache will need : 2,304,000 reads If you want to use it then is fine but if users ask for performance i must let them know about it. I don't force anyone to not use .htaccess as i just let them know with the link that i post above that is no good for performance
July 28, 20168 yr That sounds just like an advertisement for nginx server - I do not accept. ... but if users ask for performance i must let them know about it. Users do not care about performance server, only speed sites they visit
July 29, 20168 yr Quote Users do not care about performance server, only speed sites they visit The speed of a site is related to the server and the hardware/software that is uses
August 3, 20168 yr Share the link to your site - I'm curious to test CDN and CloudFlare. I'm not using it, asking the question whether it works well with CloudFlare or not as I am considering using it.
November 24, 20168 yr Author Step by Step Add in your htaccess file: FileETag None <IfModule mod_deflate.c> <filesMatch ".(css|js|x?html?|php)$"> SetOutputFilter DEFLATE </filesMatch> </IfModule> <IfModule mod_expires.c> ExpiresActive On ExpiresDefault "now plus 1 week" ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 year" ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 1 week" ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 week" ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 1 week" ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access plus 1 week" ExpiresByType video/x-flv "access plus 1 week" ExpiresByType application/pdf "access plus 1 week" ExpiresByType text/xml "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 year" ExpiresByType application/font-woff "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType application/x-font-woff "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType font/woff "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType application/font-woff2 "access plus 1 year" ExpiresByType application/vnd.ms-fontobject "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType application/x-font-ttf "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType font/opentype "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType image/svg+xml "access plus 1 month" </IfModule> This clashes with opcache. I believe its the mod_expires.c part as I thought it was the deflate.c but then I tested it with just expires and I was having the same issues which are - members not seeing updated pages, showing as logged out - need to refresh to see the latest topic list and show as logged in etc.
December 1, 20168 yr Author Tried most things but haven't got far, I'm sure I'm sure missing something obvious.
December 1, 20168 yr Just a friendly note, there's also my htaccess file in the Marketplace available for free that might resolve some issues.
December 1, 20168 yr Author I've been using the one I posted above but without ExpiresDefault "now plus 1 week" as it clashed with opcache, I'm still only 78% / 53% on gtmetrix.
