How fast does my page load?

**Denny** · 09-29-2016, 11:54 PM

It's not bad here, but it could be faster.

What's your internet speed?

that jpg is too heavy, it can be sized down to <100Kb and you won't see much or any difference

**j3rkules** · 09-30-2016, 02:41 AM

Pretty fast, about two seconds.

I was gonna make some stupid joke about it loading faster than a female flatmate can give her boyfriend a key, but tbh there WAS a delay.

Page hung pure white for about 7 seconds before suddenly all appearing at once. I'm in the UK on a mac using chrome as a browser and Im connected at about 75mb download speed. HTH

Your head contains way too many scripts and loads way too many things. This is why most people will see a white page for a few seconds before the HTML appears.

Get rid of:
<link rel='dns-prefetch' href='//s.w.org' />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Premium Gear VR foam replacements » Feed" href="https://vrpadding.com/feed/" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Premium Gear VR foam replacements » Comments Feed" href="https://vrpadding.com/comments/feed/" />

Then get rid of the emoji JS
defer load all the css styling except for your main css
async load your js scripts or put them in the footer

get rid of this:
<link rel='https://api.w.org/' href='https://vrpadding.com/wp-json/' />
<link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" title="RSD" href="https://vrpadding.com/xmlrpc.php?rsd" />
<link rel="wlwmanifest" type="application/wlwmanifest+xml" href="https://vrpadding.com/wp-includes/wlwmanifest.xml" />

Move your FB pixel to the bottom of the page or load it async in a seperate JS file.

That's just some of the more basic mods I would do to speed up your site load.

Problem is with your hosting.

100 ms to Los Angeles is bad. My route is through the ATT hub in Chicago I usually get 70ms - 80ms to the US west coast.

your site is hosted on a shared hosting and there are almost 500 other sites on the server so you can't expect any great speeds.

**dillfly2000** · 09-30-2016, 08:18 PM

Seems alight in southern Manitoba. Though I think I clicked your site before, might be some cache going on.

**dave90210** · 09-30-2016, 09:20 PM

Can you try it on your cellphone? When I try it on cellphones it loads very slow for me. Try clicking on the recent products pictures at the bottom of the screen and see if you have to click multiple times for the product pages to open.

If I delete all of this minus the FB pixel will it mess up some of the plugins I have on my site?

Which host do you recommend that has a pretty good yearly rate?

On my Vista machine it takes 3.17s using Firefox.

**money biz** · 10-01-2016, 08:03 AM

put that header on another another ip.

**dave90210** · 10-01-2016, 09:42 AM

Is that bad?

It's part of a slider I can't.

From a marketing perspective, the bullet points in your header are not good at all.

Nobody equates pleather with high-quality. You are listing manufacturing features which nobody really cares about, explain benefits instead which is what people want when they purchase a product. Why would someone want to buy these? Will it make the VR experience easier? Less pressure around eyes? More comfortable? Etc.

Good luck.

**EddyTheDog** · 10-01-2016, 10:35 AM

Ignore...

**dave90210** · 10-02-2016, 12:01 AM

I'll fix that eventually! My main focus right now is the loading on the cellphones
