The Need for More Speed!

Speed up Joomla - Increase Speed Score

Listen to what the giants say.

According to surveys done by Akamai and Gomez, nearly half of web users expect a site to load in 2 seconds or less, and they tend to abandon a site that isn’t loaded within 3 seconds.

79% of web shoppers who have trouble with web site performance say they won’t return to the site to buy again and around 44% of them would tell a friend if they had a poor experience shopping online.

In the Eyes of Google!

More speed increases your visitor experience and can also have a positive impact on your site in Google Search. Here is some background information about accelerating Joomla or WordPress.

Server Side Optimization for Joomla

Joomla has a built-in cache plugin, which caches the whole joomla page. When this plugin is enabled, first time it caches and next time(s) it just deliver from cache. It does not go to each Joomla component for getting the output. So not K2 and Virtuemart, nor JomSocial. Definitely it is the fastest joomla page creation on server.

It works very well for completely static Joomla websites. But if you have something dynamic on your page, cache plugin more often than not gives the wrong output. That is because it does not process anything at all. So, if the native cache plugin is enabled and your site is totally static, you may set a cache time in global configuration something like 21600 for 15 days and get a fast output of Joomla page's html. In that case, you need nothing for server-side optimization. This is because the Joomla page was created on the server once and remains the same for the next fortnight.

As this is not the case with most websites, you need to disable cache plugin. Joomla websites are much more than just static HTML pages. If cache plugin is disabled, there is a need of our K2 listings Speed up or Virtuemart Speed up plugins. Our plugins, caches only the component content (K2 or Virtuemart) and not the whole Joomla page. So, other parts of the your Joomla site may contain dynamic content.

So the bottom line is;

1) System Cache plugin disabled - Slow - Everything processed every time. Also the K2 and Virtuemart content.

2) The system Cache plugin is disabled, but our K2 Speed Booster and/or Virtuemart Speed Booster plugin is enabled. Best in most cases. Our Speed plugins deliver from cache, but Joomla remains dynamic. Means, speed without any compromise.

3) Speeding up loading of Joomla Modules with our SpeedPlus Plugin. This plugin is good for all sites and not for any specific Joomla extension.

4) Not recommended and not usable for most websites when System Cache plugin enabled - No processing at all. Page delivered from cache but static.

5) For some dynamic extensions like JomSocial, the server side optimization mostly does not work. In that case you have the choice of optimization on client side when your browser delivers the HTML to the visitor.

Client Side Optimization of Joomla

Your Joomla site is not only a bunch of html tags. It links to various other resources as well. Like CSS files, Javascript files, Images and many more.

Whatever method is used for server-side optimization, client-side optimization is also important. It is in fact organize your html code effectively as the client browser can download as quickly as possible. Various tools are available to test the speed of your Joomla site to optimize the client side. As we are all aware, Google's PageSpeed Insights is awesome.

The plugin named Speedero, the one you are looking at now, can automatically arrange and optimize the HTML produced by your Joomla site. It does many things including Javascript and CSS optimization, Image lazy loading and many more.

Eliminate render-blocking resources

Google Page Speed Insights often prompts you to remove resources that block rendering. Why is it important to delete resources that block rendering from your page? And the way to do this is really important to understand. Normally, every webpage has multiple style sheets and related javascript files. If they are linked in a way, which restricts browsers to render the page in front of the client unless all resources are fully loaded, lefts a bad impression of slow performance to your visitors. You need to avoid it.

Our speed plugin automatically takes care of it by moving, merging and delayed loading of your critical page resources, CSS files and JavaScript files. Hence, you get a good Google page speed score and better performance out of the box.

Which Speed Plugin is best for me?

Is CloudFlare Slow?

Is Cloudflare slowing down your Joomla site? Are you on the free plan of Cloudflare. People occasionally complain that Cloudflare does slow down websites by giving a high TTFB (Time to First Byte). There is a also cache miss issue. Like many other CDNs, you need to fill the Cloudflare CDN cache first before you get a performance increase. This is annoying for first time visitors. When they visit your Joomla or WordPress website first, most probably they connect to an Edge server which does not have it's cache filled with your static files. The result is that they get a slow response because first the Edge server needs to get those files from the origin server.

The next problem, is filling the cache is sometimes very slow. Even on the second or third visit you see a cf-cache-status MISS header. This happens because of slow filling of cache on Edge server at the pop.
