Graeme S. Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I've been seeing really slow server response time recently (6-7+ seconds) according to PageSpeed: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ibsurvival.com%2F&tab=desktop Trying to diagnose the issue. Any suggestions? Happy to hire someone to look into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexsplosions Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Does it feel slow when you browse the website? I learned quite quickly to take response times reported by these tools with a huge pinch of salt. Pagespeed reported my load speed as around 7 seconds quite often. I nor any of my users could replicate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme S. Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 Once the site loads, it's fine, but my concern is that new visitors are being hit with 6-7 response time. I tested in incognito and hit the issue. As a web user, if a site takes more than 3 or 4 seconds to load, I assume it's broken and often just go back and look for another site.

Lucas James Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 There could be 100 reasons for a slow server response – its a million dollar question. Unless you localize the issue, all you can get is wild tips from others, to check this, check that, do this, do that, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexsplosions Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I'm not going to throw random ideas because, as said above, it could be anything, but I did disable Cloudflare on my own site this past few days because of very poor performance. I experienced numerous 502 and 504 errors, none of which have occurred since I paused it. Have you tried pausing Cloudflare to isolate that Cloudflare isn't the cause? It may be prudent to eliminate that service provider as the cause before delving into your server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issue is that I currently have my SSL set up through Cloudflare (maybe that's a mistake too!) 3 hours ago, ASTRAPI said: Not an easy task without checking the server optimization....

Square Wheels Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I got a 15, I have had server issues for years. The server people say it's the software, when I've put in tickets, they say all is well. It's hard running a small hobby site that makes no money and keep it running well. https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsquarewheelscycling.com%2Findex.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only keep the most important content. Can you enable http2 if you aren't already able to use it? In my experience it actually makes a difference. Most browsers these day support it and newer. If you can't do this, have you considered using cloudflare's free account? It allows you to enable certain optimizations as well as protocols like http2/http3. On my phone your community is just a while screen until it loads, then content pops up all at once. Wifi was fine, mobile data indoors was not so good. But it's definitely not as bad as that pagespeed score claims. That score is just sad and makes you think that website should take forever to load when that's not the case.

Thanks, I wasn't aware you could hide blocks on certain devices, hopefully this will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
