c5.7 Very Slow

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi,

My site is running extremely slow, over 10 seconds to load a page.

I am using the default elemental theme, hosted by Ipage, and I have disabled caching for editing, (when I enabled it the site crashed completely).

the site is here:
http://www.oliverjohnberman.com/starkids/...

I would be grateful if anyone has any idea why this is happening.
Thanks,

Oliver

Hi OJBConcrete,

We have checked your website. You need to do the following to reduce load time
1) Enable compression
2) Optimize Images
3) Leverage browser caching
This will improve the performance of your site

Thanks

Thanks for your helpful answer.

How would I go about enabling compression?

Thanks,

Oliver

Hi,
You need to check gzip compression of your server enabled or not.
If enabled then the best way to compress your content is to add following lines to .htaccess file
<ifModule mod_gzip.c>
mod_gzip_on Yes
mod_gzip_dechunk Yes
mod_gzip_item_include file \.(html?|txt|css|js|php|pl)$
mod_gzip_item_include handler ^cgi-script$
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/.*
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^application/x-javascript.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude rspheader ^Content-Encoding:.*gzip.*
</ifModule>

Thanks

OK I'll try to do that. Thanks a lot.

Do you have the "Theme CSS Cache" turned off? This could certainly lead to delays you are seeing. If so, maybe we can track down the error you were seeing with this enabled and correct that.
