PageSpeed Insights

but still - how come you have 95 and me just 78? )

There could be many reasons. I don't have any advertising, my default style isn't a bloated style, number of forums, server speed, connection speed, and a multitude of others.

do you use vps or dedicated? do you use cdn?

do you use vps or dedicated? do you use cdn?

It's a dedicated VPS on my own in-house servers.

I don't use a CDN.

 

[Abraham54]

My host Antagonist made Redis on the servers available.
My desktop forum speed went from 84 to 97 after enabling Redis in the configfile.

that's what I thought )

Anyway, thanks to everyone who replied. Thanks god that this drop was related to googles bug and not to my upgrade to 2.1 ))

 

[Kirby]

With that bug fix at Google Insights, I'm back to normal.

Hmm ...

 

[Snog]

Hmm ...

Just proves my point even more. Insights isn't a reliable source.

 

[Masetrix]

Dont forget to disable developementmode and so on at your livesite

 

[MstrfBlng]

Does anyone happen to have a Apache or Nginx config for Pagespeedmod? I'm trying some things, but it keeps skipping converting jpg to webp, only some are done, even when I define the recompress quality.

teach me, masta!

 

[Anatoliy]

hm... I'm not a developer, so I don't know much about it, but it looks very strange to me...



Does it mean that without font awesome a page will load twice faster?

Better to move the settings from .htaccess to https.conf - if your Site is https only. This speed up your site as well.

Hint apache reading settings from .htaccess on every access to your site. https.conf ist stored always in RAM. You have reload Apache if you change settings in https.conf.

No https.conf to discover on my server.

Those are mobile and you should be in the 60-70 range with a few modifications that'll also put desktop at 99/100.

Mobile is what's most important for google.

Mine is fine for desktop 98, but 45 for mobile and that's on pages with no ADs.

Definitely more work should be done by XF to get 90+ scores on their own site and by default.

try to disable notices for mobile devices

Would that affect google seo as users from there wouldn't be logged in?

even xf.com is getting 60 scores by google. SHould be 90+ or amp as part of the core framework
