Topic: Measure the Page Speed - Web Performance

[admin]

Page Speed Service is an online service to automatically speed up loading of your web pages. Page Speed Service fetches content from your servers, rewrites your pages by applying web performance best practices and serves them to end users via Google's servers across the globe.

The extent of speed up depends on a variety of factors such as content on your pages, browser, geographic location of access, bandwidth, etc. You can run tests to measure the speed up of your site in a few minutes....

I love the tool at http://www.webpagetest.org/compare

After some changes it improved, for example:

Start render from 1.334 to 0.891 sec, that's quite an improvement.
Page speed score from 82/100 to 89/100

All other scores are better, I did the following based on the reports (a lot info they give):

- Implemented mod_never_expire for gif, jpg and css, this helps the most
- removed a paypal gif, was given a 404
- an unnessary call in CSS

mod_never_expire is at the download page here and I used in the apachlounge vhost:

<FilesMatch \.(?i:gif|jpg|css)$>
NeverExpire on
</FilesMatch>

Also see that the google ads takes most of the time. I really want to remove them. But I need it to be able to get a new server (I need).

Just noticed that mod_expire reduced noticable the hits on the server.

The light blue graph are the raw hits, and you can see that after restarting (for mod_never_expire) the server at 10 PM the hits are less.

I would like to test this mod_never_expire but i cant find him in download section..

Was obsolete, you can have expire with standard directive.

See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_expires.html
